Hi Kdoog,ground off each plug on top of engine,one at a time.Be sure you see spark in each plug. Look inside distributor cap for signs of arching,bad contact or cracks. Also make shure rotor in cap is in good shape,no burn marks.Ghost

Hi Guys, Do any of you know about a replacement/upgrade for the speedo in a python 2012 800efi ?
The EU version does not come with many extra gauges in the dash.
Its limited to the speed, km, engine lights. A extra gauge shows fuel level. The speedo unit itself looks like a 20$ type.

Was thinking about hooking up a small tablet to the OBDII but am not even sure what if the obdII port is actually working on the Joyners ???

Greetings
Steven

Thanks PGH, good find! Those look identical to one i came across but discarded as it was over 200$
When i searched on the picture from your link i found them as brandless on ebay for 55$

Acewell also has several in the same price range.

However, most of these require wiring and sensors.
Is there anything that takes the info from the original sensors ??
Or even from the OBDII that (should) have all info?
Will also ask the EU importer of the Joyners, they have been very helpfull so far.

Greets

The Trail Tech uses its own sensors. I am not sure if the outputs of the Chery engine sensors would be compatible. It does not use the OBDII connector for its connection. If you are looking for a nice inexpensive ODBII based gauge look at this one bellow - I use it on my truck and VW.

An update:
"The 3 cyl. Chery engine does not support OBD-II.
It supports an old OPEL protocoll and you can get some sensor information, but far less detailed than the OBD-II standard of modern cars.
The connector for this ECU interface is underneath the dashboard."

So it means that a nice OBD2 display is out of the question..
Will see if i can get some more info.

I'm having a problem locating a steering part, unless this is a small welding fix.

First, forgive my lack of correct nomenclature/part names, but I'll learn. This is why I include pics, to alleviate all confusion.

I'm the 3rd owner of this Roketa 800cc. The 1st owner was apparently a hobby welder and when the steering wheel came loose in the portion that it meets the steering linkage, just under the tachometer/speedometer, he spot welded the little bitty metal knob that is the very end of the steering wheel knob/rod to the linkage connector, just a small spot (it appears to have had lined grooves to give the entire connection some kind of grip, but they appear somewhat smooth now).

That weld has now broken, cracked right in the middle, and there is lots of play in the steering. The only reason the steering wheel doesn't just spin and spin is bc a portion of the broken weld cut a groove in the knob of the steering wheel and the shavings eventually built up to stop it, but very dangerous to drive in this condition.

My question is:
Is there a part to replace this steering wheel knob (if so, where, what part #, and how much)
OR
Do I simply spot weld it again?

Dang, that was a big font, sorry

There are universal joints on your steering wheel shaft. Usually they are welded on to the shaft so the assembly needs to be replaced if the splines are stripped. If the splines going to the steering wheel are damaged, this also need to be replaced.

Your buggy is made by Goka and badged as a Roketa. Most of the 800's and 1000's share the same steering components so you should be able to look at the parts lists on Roketa.com to find what you need.

Thanks for the reply PGH. I have some questions for clarification I'll PM you about.

vegasphotoman · **Posted:** Fri Dec 20, 2013 12:08 am

Tat3r...my brother in laws did teh same thing, we drilled another hole and put a bolt thru and did some welding, my roketa was a little loose on bottom, luckily a little tightening did the trick FOR NOW...otherwise spend the $ and order from goka....
www.Roketa.com has some parts as well....look at thier website

Great idea, Vegas! I'm disappointed in myself for not thinking about that solution. But I agree to simply get the parts. The splines on the steering pole do look fairly wimpy to be used in off-road, non-power steering application. Wish they had something with more meat so the splines wouldn't wear over time.

well thats why we buy these things, we like to fix things for fun lol otherwise wed just buy RZRs or sumthin...heheh

Hello, im new to this forum. I just bought a 2005 Roketa GK-25a 800cc. I need a little HELP! I got a good deal on it. It is running. Paint is dry/burnt, winch is disconnected (not sure if it works), no switch for winch, no gauges (not sure if it had any to begin with), axle boots torn, leaking gear oil, no lights.
So I took the axles off today found a place locally that will rebuild them for $50ea. The oil seal from the trans case from where I pulled the axle off of is leaking Does anyone know if I could buy one from O'Reily that would fit really don't want to wait for shipping from roketa.com, also does anyone have a wiring diagram that shows headlight wires and winch wiring info?

vegasphotoman · **Posted:** Fri Aug 15, 2014 5:54 pm

Hi Mr133! welcoem to buggying and BN!!!!!!

hmmm....I don't know a Napa or o'rielly the SEAL for the trans...someone else might hopefully they will chime in super fast for ya....

$50 ea axle? (both cvs?) or EACH CV end?? = $100 per axle

if $50 ea cv just do it yourself for $10 new boot and grease @ napa/orielly/autozone

CV boot/s ~ Precision CV boot part #5860 price $9.99 ~works perfect for outer CV....comes with cv grease and clamps....for inner cv the supplied clamp is a little too big....so needs alternative clamp (I used a large 3 1/2" hose clamp) or BUY a basic CV boot clamp set (adjustable) as a hose clamp will work only on one side, on drivers side a hose clamp will hit tranny... CHECKER orielly etc

as far as wiring, my stock winch has a large power & ground going to it...and it has a remote controller on a 5 foot cord attached to it....yellow controller... Harbor freight has 2500lb winches for $84 ...I got mine on sale $49 + with a 20% off coupon for like $41 out the door with tax...SCORE!!!

heres a coupon good for the $85 sale price 2500lb atv winch...makes it $49! with coupon! good thru August 30th Click link (they split the image so I cant just send you the coupon here...click link to print it out
http://widgets.harborfreight.com/wswidg ... 22_c3314b2

No Gauges were ever on the older GK series.... you hafta dd yer own....their was mebbe a idiot TEMP light.... they did have turn signal and a turn switch...you may hafta use some basic wiring skills to wire up your own stuff...its all fairly simple ,,,,,,

I added a pull style headlamp switch from Autozone , also I added a combo china gauge that has tach/oil press/temp/volts with sensors... like $75 on ebay from china... the hard poart is finding a TACH that will do 3 cyldinders! you really dont need a tach anyways....Oil and Water temp should be enough

use tinfoil to cover stuff you don't want to paint (shocks, wire looms etc) works great removes easy blocks paint...rattle can paint will chip on the sides once rocks hit it.... prob best thing for sides after you paint it is a big old sticker or car type wrap on the side panels...design your own graphic etc.... costs about $4 to $15 per sq ft depending where / who does your sticker wrap

this is who makes stickers for us.... he is VERY VERY reasonable! and he is quick!

send him 2 pictures of your kart (right side and left side) and he can design and send you a wrap that you can easy peasy install yourself
