I have one of these things. I love it so much. It's a 2008 and I got it in 2011 with the previous owners being very destructive. I've had multiple problems with it. Rain damage, broken pedals, broken suspension, crashes, cracked frame, etc. That's mostly from the previous owners and I not being very careful with it. Those were all relatively easy fixes but it's still running! Very reliable and fun vehicle.
Just got one for my son. How do you know what year these are to be able to order parts because we bought it used one but it looks like this one that you’re working with. Thanks Greg Denton out Of Kentucky.
I had one of these for over two years... put over 600 miles on it and sold it for $900, tore the fenders off of it from driving it into trees and it's great for driving in water with since it has a snorkel, I prefer a four wheeler though.
Watch the downhill turns. My kid got his new in 2008. In 2009 he was going down hill in my yard making a slight turn the front rim grabed the dirt and sent the kart, kart wheeling through the air he reached up and the roll bar snapped his arm in 3 places.
No prob. This Kart is wicked. I upped the main jet and put a no rev. limit cdi on and it cranks out good for a 150cc. Built to take punishment. Probably post more vids soon of stuff on it
very durable. lots of fun. great for kids. safe. love the seat belts, roll bars. handles well. We have outgrown ours. Sure going to miss it! anyone looking for a quantum 150cc full suspension golf kart? We are selling ours for $900. Great shape. Could use some new tires.
It could possibly be electronic component(s) related, but also could be carburetor/fuel delivery related. What you should do, is determine if it still has spark present, when it will not start. Easiest way to check that, is simply get another spark plug, pull your plug wire off and plug in the test plug, and have someone spin the engine over with the key, as you watch the spark plug. If it has spark, you'll be able to see it, as long as you have some shade, or low light conditions. That is the first thing to check, is for spark/no spark. If it still has spark present, that can be seen at the spark plug, then you will be looking at a fuel delivery issue, or carburetor issue, maybe both. I just finished fixing one of these exactly like the one in this video, today. It had sat for a long time, long enough for rust to eat the inside of the fuel tank up. All that, along with the dead gas, fouled all the lines, the filters, (one screen filter inside the tank, and an inline filter in the fuel line going to carburetor) and fouled the carburetor up inside. I could have taken the carburetor off and apart, and cleaned it out, but I found a deal online for a new fuel tank, and new carburetor, with all new fuel line, new manifold, new fuel lines, and clamps, all in a package deal. I put all that stuff on today, and now that Kart runs like crazy! Back to yours- If, you do not have any spark present when you test it, then you most likely have a bad CDI module, and/or ignition coil. Those two, are also usually sold and purchaced together. I hope this helps you to diagnose your Kart's issue, good luck!
Nice video and nice little toy. When you were driving around all I could think of was how beautiful the woods were and how it made me feel like going deer hunting! ;-)
It's getting closer. Going to put a vid on of the countless close calls this year with deer running in front of the car at night. We seem to have a boom of deer this year around me.
I added a horn to mine... annoy the whole neighborhood I do... however I have the carbide`s younger brother... the Zircon... its almost the same except for the hitch and the lights. it has a parking brake but its not as convenient... I have a bench seat instead of independent seats... still good tho... it dosent have the basket... or all the lights... and finally it dosent have front brakes... but it dosent need them... and you said an oil filter? mine don't have that either.. but it is still extremely fun
they hold up well. this vid is over a year old and its still going strong.. I'm just now putting new tires on it. Other ones are bald. Going to throw another vid on with mudlites in the back
I figured out how to rewire everything based off the schematics, and I ended up figuring out that one of my valve clearances was a little off and then it fired right up. What I need from you now if you don't mind is some kind of specs on the seats? They don't make the passenger seat anymore and I really hate to purchase the driver's seat from the manufacturer because you have to pay the extra shipping. If you could tell me like the size of the base and maybe how high they are maybe I can go and purchase them locally from a parts store? I know they are the same seats that come in your sports cars
I rebuilt a yerfdog and I want something more like this with lights, better turning, reverse and disc breaks. What does this go for and where can you purchase? Im going to list my yerfdog to fund a purchase for this cart.
I'm interested in buying a used American Sportworks Carbide 7150 150cc, but the battery is dead. What Battery Size does it use? Can you recommend a source for parts besides ebay? Lately part options getting kinda thin there.. Also, would be getting a Carburetor . Can you recommend a good stock one and source? Front Tire Brand , Size, Source? I found out American Sportworks changed their name to American LandMaster however no longer sell Go Karts. I contacted them more more info. Haven't heard back yet. Thanks for your time.
You ever have a problem with your starter continuing to turn over even with the key out? I'm trying to identify if this is the ignition switch or if it is the starter or a fuse? If you have any ideas for me to look that be great thanks
I'd have to say the switch. Could bypass the switch and try it by touching wires from batt to starter and see if it goes away. The switch puts juice to the starter.
i have this same gokart my daughter is 10 and 100lbs. the kart runs great on flat ground but on any kind of incline, it goes to NOTHING. can even get a run at it and still stalls. could you help me out on what i need to do replace, or do. thanks
I have the same kart. The seats are really beat up. How do I find new ones for sale. It also needs new front tires and I can't seem to find them for sale even on the website because its discontinued.
Hello I'm considering buying this go kart or the Trailmaster XRX this summer. Does the chain break a lot? Are there any issues with the clutch and the engine? How do you tighten the chain? Is this go kart high quality and are there any issues with it?
+Zac Hultink It's been great with really no issues. I put mudlites on now and of course did the mods. No issues with the clutch,chain or anything. One wrench tightens the chain from the back side my moving the motor ahead
How tall was the girl riding at the end of the video? I was looking at one of these for my son and I, but would have to order it. He's about 4'10" right now and I'm worried this might be too big and he couldn't reach the pedals.
Ricky X already replaced the battery and i can't get anything. I can jump start the starter but i can't get a spark. Already replaced the cdi box, coil, starter, and battery.
Must be the wiring harness then, that could have been what was wrong with mine too because I had to boost off the second battery I put in it a lot, I hope you can fix it. Unfortunately these go karts are generic so they are cheap made and aren't very reliable.
"Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies. Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain. For we've received orders for to sail back to Boston. And so never more shall we see you again."
Seems to be quite sturdy. Can support two adults just fine and takes quite a bit of abuse. Only one way to find out. Would be more worried with the axle and drive. I have large mudlites on it now and seems to be great with all the traction
Any specific recommendations for improving? Do you have any model numbers of items that you've ordered previously to make my search a little bit easier? I'm not quite sure how to find parts that will work for this and fit properly .
The china GY6 sucks! I don't know what your talking about rugged? The motor only makes about 9 hp. Its cheaper than every thing else so i don't think it should be called rugged or durable but still fun for a couple thousand
I've got 900 hours logged on mine and I've had 0 problems. I pretty much always drive it floored. I swapped a 30mm carb onto it and it's holding up to it extremely well.
I'm trying to get mine running.

Quantum
Lost key. What's easy fix for that???
Did I see grease zerts on the suspension?
Yes
no joke, this guy can replace the Allstars guy in the commercials
Watch the downhill turns. My kid got his new in 2008. In 2009 he was going down hill in my yard making a slight turn the front rim grabed the dirt and sent the kart, kart wheeling through the air he reached up and the roll bar snapped his arm in 3 places.
I honestly wanna try out this!!!
Great video! I appreciate the informative, well made review and demo. Thank you
+Grant Berntsen No problem. Still going strong hauling the kids around. Best investment for fun
They sell these at the local Dunhams. Are these American made? I’ve vowed never again on anything Chinese.
Think they pretty much all have Chinese components
Just got one ans my fule line busted , any information where to get one one how easy of a fix it might be? Thanks in advance.
good review man! thanks!
first video that showed the clearance, thanks for showing under carriage.
No prob. This Kart is wicked. I upped the main jet and put a no rev. limit cdi on and it cranks out good for a 150cc. Built to take punishment. Probably post more vids soon of stuff on it
This is a cool review thanks for helping me decide what cart to buy:)
very durable. lots of fun. great for kids. safe. love the seat belts, roll bars. handles well. We have outgrown ours. Sure going to miss it!
anyone looking for a quantum 150cc full suspension golf kart? We are selling ours for $900. Great shape. Could use some new tires.
Is this Jesse the body Ventura?
he even has the same minnesota accent! LOL
When mine heats up the motor shuts off and then won’t start until the motor cools down, ant ideas?

@@timchilders3535 where did you get that deal?! And around how much did you pay for it?
I have a go cart just like this were can get a wiring harness to fit the cart I need kill switch
+James Cooper I'd say ebay.

I’ve started to restore mine
I just got a nice used one for $650. great review
Where did you get it from
I'm currently building one very similar to your buggy, gy6 150cc, new rings and piston and A9 racing cam ✌✌✌
and the rear suspension has lost the compressed air...
I added a horn to mine... annoy the whole neighborhood I do... however I have the carbide`s younger brother... the Zircon... its almost the same except for the hitch and the lights. it has a parking brake but its not as convenient...

scannerguy1968 heh... the tires are not cheap though... wewww
Mine is so old 13 years ago
What battery do these take ?

I'm not getting fire to my coil...what should we try??
Tree blinds with feeders
I used to have one of those
Was it worth buying ?
Tay O812
yes it was fast and efficent
efficient
I rebuilt a yerfdog and I want something more like this with lights, better turning, reverse and disc breaks. What does this go for and where can you purchase? Im going to list my yerfdog to fund a purchase for this cart.
Think they have an updated version now. You'd have to google it and find a local dealer. Or watch ebay for one.. I'd say new would be around 1500
Mantap bang... saya juga lagi bikin mini buggy...🙏😊😊👍
I'm interested in buying a used American Sportworks Carbide 7150 150cc, but the battery is dead.
What Battery Size does it use?
Can you recommend a source for parts besides ebay? Lately part options getting kinda thin there..

Front Tire Brand , Size, Source?
I found out American Sportworks changed their name to American LandMaster however no longer sell Go Karts. I contacted them more more info. Haven't heard back yet.
Thanks for your time.
Were did you buy it from I won't one
adjust your steering wheel...
Can anyone tell me what kind of transmission oil/lubricant this takes? Can’t find a single thing about it in the manual
You ever have a problem with your starter continuing to turn over even with the key out? I'm trying to identify if this is the ignition switch or if it is the starter or a fuse? If you have any ideas for me to look that be great thanks

Hello trying to find your video on the jet install also u said something about the rev limiter and cdi?
Thanks
Great review
Thanks
man i want one
Where did you buy it from I want one too.
Bought this one locally. You can order them from GoKartUSA
NC Universe I have one for sale
Can anyone tell me how many times he said overall?
When did jesse Ventura start selling go karts lol.

Mine broke a weld
How much??? Want one bad!!
New they are around 2500. Of course if a person shops around they can pick up a used one for less than 1500
Jesse Ventura?
How tall was the girl riding at the end of the video? I was looking at one of these for my son and I, but would have to order it. He's about 4'10" right now and I'm worried this might be too big and he couldn't reach the pedals.
+Will Norris She's about the same height as him. The driver seat adjusts. She reaches it quite well
how tight is the chain suppose to be i just pick up one and the chain is real loose
Sergio Sousa Shouldn't be real tight. Maybe push it in 1/2 inch with your finger at the mid point between sprockets
Just bought one but it has electrical issues. Any idea where I can get the wiring harness?
Luis Arrieta It's probably the battery, the stock batteries in these are crap, I had to replace it like three months after I got the kart.
Ricky X already replaced the battery and i can't get anything. I can jump start the starter but i can't get a spark. Already replaced the cdi box, coil, starter, and battery.
Did you replace the plug?
Ricky X yeah, but when i turn the key, it don't turn over, the lights don't even come in.
Must be the wiring harness then, that could have been what was wrong with mine too because I had to boost off the second battery I put in it a lot, I hope you can fix it. Unfortunately these go karts are generic so they are cheap made and aren't very reliable.
"Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies. Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain. For we've received orders for to sail back to Boston. And so never more shall we see you again."
That's a good go-kart how much sir
Think around 1500 bucks
How much was it
How rich are you to have that land
hey bro I'm having problem with my go-kart
how fast doses it go
how much
I am planning to put a 650cc engine in is the frame stong enough?
Seems to be quite sturdy. Can support two adults just fine and takes quite a bit of abuse. Only one way to find out. Would be more worried with the axle and drive. I have large mudlites on it now and seems to be great with all the traction
were did you get it
Good Review.
Price
Looking at around 1800 new
Where you get parts for this. I have same exact one
All over ebay from what I could see. Have ordered many upgrades from there
Any specific recommendations for improving? Do you have any model numbers of items that you've ordered previously to make my search a little bit easier? I'm not quite sure how to find parts that will work for this and fit properly .
I have a 250cc so that means it can go 2x faster then 18mph? or what?
i will give u 100 to 200
The china GY6 sucks! I don't know what your talking about rugged? The motor only makes about 9 hp. Its cheaper than every thing else so i don't think it should be called rugged or durable but still fun for a couple thousand
It may be but Still running great after Almost 3 years of heavy use though. Now it's pulling on Huge Mudlites in the back as well.
I've got 900 hours logged on mine and I've had 0 problems. I pretty much always drive it floored. I swapped a 30mm carb onto it and it's holding up to it extremely well.
I'm not getting fire to my coil...what should we try??
