Throttle cable was sticking so thought I would test by revving the empty kart ( child not in !) from the back whilst on the ground. Of course it stuck at about 5000rpm and the kart set off at great pace across the paddock with me (16.5 stone) clinging to the back of it. I was dragged (Ben hur style) on my front 20-30 yards until I managed to hit the on off switch. It was one of those moments when I stood up, holes in trousers and knees bleeding, calmly looked around thinking "Anyone see that ?? "

I get nevous now when I see kids starting their empty karts on grids.
