Keepiing your go-kart clean is not rocket science, it's just good Kart housekeeping!
- How Often to Clean: After every race, focus on bodywork, engine, brakes, air filter, tires, wheels, and chassis. The carburetor and clutch can be cleaned less frequently.
- Time Required: Depending on the parts, it can take 30 minutes to over an hour.
- Ideal Cleaning Locations: Garden, driveway, garage, racing track, or designated cleaning where you are allowed to clean! I did manage to do an oil change on the kitchen island the other week!.
Whether you're a seasoned racer or like us, a Privateer parent, regular cleaning ensures the longevity and optimal functioning of your child's go-kart. After all, would you let your car run on squeaky brakes, so why would you risk your kid's safety, plus it gives them more responsibility to look after the Kart.
Go get those marigolds on, and start cleaning! But be warned, if your kids are anything like Zenico when it comes to the greasy parts, it's like pulling teeth from an elephant as grease is on his NO list!
