It’s Time.


It’s finally time. I’ve been letting the buggy sit for like 5 months. Time to drain the bad gas (ethenol is bad, you know). Time to clean it up. Time to …. take it to a professional. It’s only a throttle cable and pedal, but I haven’t been able to get it fixed. A second pedal and cable later, and well, it just doesn’t fit exactly right.

A local dealer, probably the only in the US left to build small custom buggies, has the ability to make and repair any part of my kart. I’m taking it there. Enough is enough. Connor hasn’t ridden this thing hardly at all, and it has such potential. I’m worried it will be about $300 for a custom pedal and cable, but it will be worth it if it gets fixed.
