Looking for Briggs yellow carb slide and junior wheels

Post by MX2012 »

Hi, I'm searching for rear junior wheels and a junior carb slide for Briggs. I might need these by Saturday for the T&T, which is pretty soon. If you want, I can trade my current senior wheels for junior wheels. The senior wheels I have are fitted with magnesium rims. The tires have been used noticeably, but still have a decent amount of life in them.

Also, what sort of alternative to briggs 4t can I use for oil?

Hi Yulong,

I've got a pair of used Birel 180mm magnesium hubs that I'll sell for $75.
Also, an almost brand new set of Douglas M series 180 mm magnesium hubs that I'll sell for $150.
I'll be at the track on Saturday morning. My pit is immediately west of the Tech & Try A Kart buildings.

As for oil, it's a personal preference. Many people use Mobil 1 synthetic 5W-30. It's cheap when on sale.
For Try A Kart, we simply use whatever is on sale when we need to replenish our supply; currently it's Quaker State synthetic 5W-30.
You can spend a small fortune on the Red Line synthetic, but any good synthetic 5W-30 will do.

Use caution mixing different oils over the lifetime of an engine. Sometimes the kart specific oils don't mix well with generic motor oils, or even each other.

Got it, thanks, guys. That covers everything except the tires, unfortunately. I still don't have any tires, so hopefully someone has some available at the track tomorrow? I got some 10w-30 oil, but I'm not sure if it's good enough. The oil in it right now is the Briggs 4T put in by the previous owner, which is also 10w-30, so I hope it doesn't mix too badly.

At the track yesterday, I got the slide and some other things. Here's a list of things I still need:

Junior rear wheels and tires
Junior rear bumper or adjustable rear bumper
15lbs weight

SteveO, I'm still interested in the rims you have. Sorry, I didn't meet you at the track yesterday. You can text me at 403-402-9921
