Its a roller!
I got the bead to lock on the front rim from where it had been flat for so long and aired up the tires so its easier to move around. Two of them won't hold air for long, but it doesn't matter b/c I'm gonna put bigger tires on it anyway. Also cleaned out the fuel tank and patched the hole where a rat, or squirrel? chewed a hole in it. The clear gas line is just temporary until I see if the carb's working ok. I'll put a new line on it after I see if its getting enough fuel, or too much, lol!

Looks like a good start! I think BMI karts has hubs to fit those and your 3/4" axle.

You are correct Sir! I already have them, but thank you for the information tho.
The only issue I found is that I had to make a bushing (white piece), to take up the slop between the end of the hub and the cotter pin. I cut a piece of 3/4 pvc pipe to make the bushing and sandwiched it between 2 flat washers.

Should the PVC not work out, they have bearing style as well. Offset is a little off as you may need a spacer, and they are about 1/4 inch long in the barrel so they may need trimmed. Gopowersports is another good place, they may be a couple bucks more for the part, but half the price in shipping. BMIKart's shipping is ridiculous these days.
I have 2 from BMIKart and 1 from GPS. They are the exact same. I love them. I took a peak as I would like one more set, but they have doubled in price since I got them last.
