Resurrected Go-Cart

J-Bird was patiently waiting while his Dad and his buddy finished putting the engine and the wheels on the go-cart. This was Prince Charming's go-cart when he was a child. It was covered in dust, dirt and many years of grime when Papa dug it out of the barn for me in March. Prince Charming wanted me to bring it Indiana so he could fix it up. FIX IT UP? Heck, the thing didn't even have an engine on it! So, we took our 20% off coupon to Harbor Freight Tools and bought a 2 stroke engine. Prince Charming took it all the way down to nothing. He primed and painted the frame. Fixed the seat. Bought new tires. I believe there is some money invested there, but I don't dare ask. HA!

One thing I asked was for a governor to be placed on it and the boys to wear helmets. I didn't realize the go-cart would be done so soon, so the Jedi Knights got to wear an old motorcycle helmet from their Dad's prime years!

J-Bird was the first to go on it. After a few passes to figure it out--he was balls to the wall! Prince Charming and his friend decided it was only going around 30, so it didn't need another governor. WHAT?!? Stock it will only go so fast---they ensured me. Okay, whatever.
Obe Wan couldn't quite figure it out and without a reverse he got himself stuck. We were all laughing. The boys had fun and that is all that matters. I have to decide if I will let them ride it when he is out of town....
