Here are some more information for Kart Air Filters:
An off road go kart is a four-wheeled vehicle meant for off road use unlike the longer established go karts meant for smooth circuits. Over the last few years off road karting has risen to being popular activity featuring an ever-increasing array of vehicles. The off road scene is amidst an evolutionary change, much like the general automobile sector. The origins of off road go kart is still a widely speculated one as the vehicle went through development stages. Over the years there have been so many claimants for the invention that it becomes difficult to a specifically pinpoint one. Nevertheless, it is widely agreed that Honda instigated the trend with the release of the 'Odyssey' in 1977. It was a single seater off road go kart powered by a 250cc two stroke engine featuring a CVT automatic transmission. The primary differences between a conventional go kart vehicle and the off road counterpart is the roll and larger tyres which allows a greater ground clearance and improved traction.
Decline: The Odyssey proved to be a popular vehicle and soon Honda released an upgraded version, FL350 in 1985. Honda improved the roll cage, threw in a 350 cc engine featuring an electric starter and front and back suspension. Then in 1989, Honda came up with the FL400 in two versions, one with a dual seats, it featured a liquid cooled 400cc engine and also came with increased suspension to handle the greater load. However, the increased expense was too much for kart enthusiasts to digest and Honda finally discontinued production in 1990. Though these aging units still have an enthusiasts' following, their basic achievement was being able to create a team of enthusiasts and alerting the racing world of the immense possibilities of the off road vehicles.
Present Generation: The present generation of the off road go karts are all primarily of Chinese production, these garnered a lot of following who are willing to overlook the reliability factor in favour of their cheap and appealing nature. There exists a thin line when it comes to differentiating off road karts and off road buggies. The manufacturers themselves are perplexed about the usage of the term "buggy" and "go kart" that they have been often interchanged. The major difference between the two is that go karts are built from scratch and does not involve modifying an aged vehicle like the buggy. Moreover, the go karts are not really intended for road use and are crafted sans a differential. In the US, the term "buggy" is however used to describe a vehicle which may be referred to as a "go kart" in other parts of the world. Buggies are constructed by modifying an existing vehicle, usually the Volkswagen Bug. They are used for both off road and on road purposes; the off road mentioned refers mainly to deserts and beaches. Just as the off road go karts are evolved cousin of their on road counterparts, there are breeds of buggies which are being increasingly used for traversing through difficult terrains and trails.

Racing Divisions and Noted Rules of the ARMA
Before participating in any lawn mower racing event, you have to choose your racing division. The American Racing Mower Association has 7 divisions, ranging from novice to expert.
ARMA – Kids Stock, Adult Stock
This is the novice level using stock lawn mowers. The governor should not be removed, the wheelbase is stock, and the front and rear rims are original. In short, just remove the blades and ride it to the finish line. It’s a great “beginners” division.
ARMA – Kids Super Stock, Adult Super Stock
A little quicker ad a little slicker, but still considered entry level lawn mower racing. You will be able to modify a few things to your racing mower.
• A governed engine is required, but it can be 3650RPM, single cylinder OHV or VIB no more than 465cc and 15HP.
• Full size mowers with a wheelbase of 39”
• Front wheel should be 6” with tires ranging from 13” to 15”
• Rear wheels should be 8” with 16” tires.
• Tire pressure up to 15 PSI.
• Air cleaner, air filter, and an open exhaust are allowed.
• The frame and the inside of the rims can be reinforced for added durability.
• The shift mechanism should be original with a maximum gear ratio of 8-1.
• The body must be stock complete with factory deck.
• Spindles in front must be minimum 5/8”.
ARMA – Mini Sportsman
Now it’s getting exciting. This is a lawn mower racing division for those who want to build their own racing mower from scratch.
• There are no restrictions on internal engine modifications. (Sweet!)
• Engines should be 4 stroke, valve in block, and not greater than 8.5HP and 19 cubic inches. (You’ll be eating dust if you use an inferior engine.)
• The chassis should have a minimum wheelbase of 34”
• The front and rear wheels have minimums of 4” and 6” respectively.
ARMA – Sportsman
This division is for those who have a little lawn mower racing experience and a few racing mower stories.
• As with the Mini-Sportsman, engines should be valve in block, single cylinder 4 stroke, but can be over 8.5HP
• A minimum and unaltered chassis of 39”.
• Front wheels are 5” minimum
• Rear wheels are 6” minimum and 8” maximum.
• No mid engine frames allowed in this division.
ARMA – Mod X
Now we are getting to the advanced divisions.
• You get to use a more advanced single OHV and Twin Opposed VIB with under 20HP.
• A minimum wheelbase of 39” for the chassis of you racing mower.
• Still no mid engine frames.
• 5” minimum for the front wheels and 6” to 8” for the rear wheels.
ARMA – Super Sportsman
Just by the name of it, you’ll know that this division is something special. This is where you’ll see the fast and the furious of lawn mower racing.
• Powerful all overhead valve, 2 cylinder, 4 stroke, and up to 25HP engines are used. Try mowing your lawn with this baby.
• A wheelbase of 42” for the chassis
• Stock frames
• 6” minimum for the front wheels and 6” to 8” for the rear wheels.
ARMA – Pro X
This is where the best of the best hang out. It is the dream of every lawn mower racing enthusiast to compete in this division. Ever seen a racing mower dig dirt and drift on corners?
• Single cylinder and 4 stroke engines with no max on HP.
• Mid engine frames are allowed.
• A maximum chassis of 42”.
• 45” maximum for pan style frames.
• You can shorten the wheelbase to up to 37”.
• Front and rear wheels are 4” to 8” respectively.
• You may use kart tires, as well as add stagger. But, no offsetting the wheels.
• No round tubing and chrome molly tubing allowed.
Those are the 7 lawn mower racing divisions under the American Racing Mower Association. If you are new to the sport and haven’t ridden a racing mower yet, you might want to start out in the novice divisions and work your way up to the Pro X division.

5hp briggs & stratton engine won't start?
engine is on a one seater go kart. it has been sitting for a few months. it has a raptor style carb with no choke. new spark plug new k&n style air filter, fresh gas in the carb and still nothing. the plug is firing, plenty of blue spark. i tried spraying carb cleaner in the carb to get it to start but it ddn't work. with almost every pull there is a slight combustion like its trying to start but it does not. it did sit a while with the carb uncovered and water could have gotten in the engine.....do i need to tear it down and rebuild.. the pull rope pulls fine and there is some compression but i dont know how much....
I had the same problem on a riding lawn mower,briggs have a problem with valves stretching, I think it was the exhaust valve, what I did was pulled off the head and I could see the the valve was not seated, rotate the engine to seat the valves, took the valve out and ground down the valve stem just a little bit with a grinder and that fixed it,head gaskets are cheap and easy to find, if you can find the right torque specks for the head its best,I just used a regular wrench
Currying Favor
When Chow, Baby said it liked hanging out in South Arlington, it certainly wasn’t talking about Arlington Highlands , the self-proclaimed “lifestyle center” that has given Chow, Baby renewed appreciation for Southlake Town Square (trees! thoughtfully planned parking! directories!).
