Re: PP gaskets and seals?
Dean: Hank Rotroff at 937-466-2226 is a definite PP guru, but you may find that Dan Dettman has gaskets. I know he made a bunch of them. Try him here at this forum. Ted

Re: Chain riveting
Thanks, Jeff, Ron, Michael and Dan. I ordered a 2-screwer from APS, and am anxious to try it out. It's the last item on the GoKart, except for tripping over it until Fremont ! Ted

Re: Chain riveting
Thanks, Dan! Ron C. called last night with the same info. Last time I did it was with a miniature anvil! Will you be at Fremont? I have maybe 30 minutes throttle work plus the chain, and the GoKart 1200/W.B. 610 9-port will be ready for my buddy to ride. It looks old school with the 610 sitting at 4...
