   • Hi Bryan,

     Thanks for your message.
     Try if you can find it in the KT196 Owner’s Manual.

2. bought a new kt-196 has 5 hours on it , i am getting ready to change oil first time notice its developed a vibration like a mount or something is missing also making a little noise upon acceleration. i did not see anything in the manual about a grease fitting located at the chain adjust, been hearing about problems with kt196 low hours are there some critical maintenance procedures im not aware of, or something i can do to prevent these issues, seems like alot of problems for a brand new go kart. any good advise would be appreciated

   • Hi Mike,

     It’s not normal to hear any noises especially from the frame/chain, apart from the usual engine sounds for new go-karts.
     It would probably be best to have it inspected by the distributor to assess and advise.
     They typically have a 90-day warranty, best give them a call, Mike!

Ball joints mounting studs are hammered away and the shock spring mount is all loose. the right side seems frozen up. i loosened the pivots on the upper and lower arms and on the shock / spring mount but it still seems awful tight. any fixes for all? The brake rotor has scoring there is no pads listed or is there?

   • Hi William, interesting. I have not heard of that. I also went through the parts list again and couldn’t find it.
     Are you able to get in touch with Coleman Powersports to inspect or provide that part?

       • Hi Russel,

         You should align them correct, then shorten the chain by a link or two.
         Check out the guide on how to tighten a go-kart chain for more info!

   • I have the same problem. Can’t find a parts diagram with part I need. It’s the sprocket that the bottom chain rides on. Already replaced the leaky carburetor within a day of riding and now this. This go cart has been nothing but problems. If you ever did figure it out please let me know how you did it.

8. Hello, I need to order a bolt for the front tire for the Coleman KT196 Go-Kart. Can you tell me the part number I need to order and where to order it please? Thank you

   • Hi Kimberly, there are a few options for you.
     You can contact Coleman Powersports or your dealer, where you bought the go-kart from.

     Or, you can search it on Amazon by typing in “KT196 Front Tires” – just ensure to buy a pair.

9. I purchased a Coleman KT196 from my local Tractor Supply about 3 months ago for my grandkids. They were driving it today and it just shut off with them. Upon inspection I noticed the front oil dipstick was missing. Apparently it had vibrated out somewhere in the horse pasture. Where can I get a replacement? Out of curiosity, I tried the rear dipstick and it doesn’t fit where the front one goes!

10. Hello there.
    I bought a go cart kt196 a couple of years ago. Last fall the go cart became disabled due to the welding breaking. It is same discription as William L Ramagoz
    September 22, 2021 at 5:29 am post. The best option I could find is to search where I can find the motor mount that contains the secondary, the top and bottom sprockets between the motor and the axle. Is there a place where I can order the motor mount?

11. Motor blew up what is the best replacement with minimum modifications

    • Hey Rob,

      It’s a 196cc 4-stroke engine, meaning that a Honda GX200 or anything similar (clone) would be ideal!
