Glad im not the only one. There is nothing i like less than putting a seat in a gokart.
I’m too picky about it. What should be a 30-45 minute job turns into 2 hours since I want everything perfect. But I figure it’s one of the most important parts to a good setup and I want the seat to be installed with zero stress on it.
It’s a toss up for me on mounting graphics vs seat as to the worst kart jobs, but I seem to mount seats more often so that’s the one I remember.
I really like my Alfano 6, so much so I bought another one. I’ve owned mine for 2 years and still have never had to charge the battery. Battery life on these things are INSANE.

I have gotten to the point I love doing graphics. A beer. Some music. And the garage. Peaceful time

I’m the total opposite. Would rather mount 10 seats over doing one set of graphics lol

I’d rather have a beer and watch someone else mount the seat and graphics.

Same here lol, I kinda have grown to like mounting seats
Learned that I should have been lubing up the drum sprocket bushing on my clutch frequently, after the chain popped off after hitting a curb and the drum froze up. 
Took things apart, lubed 'em up, and cleaned the surrounding areas.
Been there, done that! Was at a race and tossed a chain. It locked up the clutch and almost welded the small needle bearing to the output shaft. Was a real scramble between qualy and race time to file and sand down a very hard shaft so I could get a new bearing on.

Nothing like sitting on gravel.
That was a high speed one, got enough free gravel to redo my driveway

I know I’m not the first person here to do this, but I know I am the first person to show pictures of it. Re-wrapped my “crusty” old otk steering wheel with tennis wrap. Also rebuilt my brakes MC and calipers , so much better pedal feel and bleeds so nice, only cost 30 bucks.
Not perfect, but much better than torn, crusty, Sun- bleached leather.
