Cool looking buggy. Regarding the air filter you can search the K&N filter site by dimension here:
https://www.knfilters.com/search/univ2.aspx?id=S0001
Measure your height and diameter needed and see how close you can find. You can buy direct from them or see the number and get it from Amazon.
This is how I found mine, my buggy has a Harley Davidson filter on it. |

The tires do look good. I wouldn't be afraid to use them around town. On the highway at speed or strike out on a trip - maybe not.
I'm not sure why you changed the fuses...
You need to check into this overheating problem before driving it much more. If it is indeed too hot. Not good for the engine, lots of things to look for here! |

You should not be driving the buggy with the old oil and worse yet change the filter and keep driving with the old oil.
Before even moving that buggy, you should have changed the oil and filter, check and service the brakes including changing the brake fluid.
Cheers. |
Sorry I should have clarified here.
My brother went to Indiana to pickup and bring the buggy back to NC. While he was there they decided to change the filter and the fuses, not sure why. I asked and my brother said bc they looked bad. Ha!
Anyways, it is prob going to sit for the rest of the winter and I will pull it out next spring.
I ordered some Stabil for the gas, and have the new oil coming as well via Amazon. As soon as it gets here the oil will be changed and then park it for the season. |
