Testing the functioning go-kart!

Last bits of testing  in the garage – propped the back of the kart up, started the engine, and gently ran through the gears including reverse.

Lot of fun driving around in the go-kart checking for leaks, testing brakes, steering etc – very noisy and fast!! Nice bday present for Dad.

Quite scary the first time we took the go-kart out of the garage and down the driveway with no power - very worried the brakes wouldn't stop it and so moved the cars and bins to give us space. Accidentally stepped hard on the accelerator and dislodged the throttle wire - took ages to bundle the ends and re-tighten!
