Coleman Go-Kart & Mini Bike Repair in Simpson, NC

Coleman makes some of the most popular go-karts and mini bikes on the market — and Rude Boy Small Engine Repair is one of the few shops in eastern North Carolina that's an official Coleman Preferred Vendor. That means we're not just familiar with these machines — we're factory-recognized to work on them. Whether it's a CT200U that won't fire up or a KT196 that's seen better days, we've got you covered. Walk-ins welcome. No appointment. No drama.

Common Coleman Problems We Fix

Coleman go-karts and mini bikes are built for fun — but they take a beating. Here's what rolls through our shop most often:
  • Won't start — old fuel, flooded engine, bad spark plug, or a clogged carburetor
  • Carburetor issues — gummed up jets, rough idle, bogging under load, or fuel overflow
  • No drive or won't move — clutch wear, broken or slipping drive chain, or torque converter problems
  • Torque converter problems — worn belt, stuck weights, or a seized driver/driven pulley
  • Brake issues — worn brake pads, stretched cable, or a seized caliper
  • Engine overheating — clogged air filter, lean fuel mixture, or low oil
  • Electrical faults — kill switch failures, ignition coil issues, or wiring problems
  • Fuel leaks — cracked fuel lines, bad petcock, or a leaking carburetor float bowl
  • Throttle and governor issues — sticky throttle, stuck governor, or loss of top speed
  • Frame and hardware wear — loose bolts, worn bearings, and general wear from hard use
If it's a Coleman and it's broken, we can fix it.

  • Mini bikes — CT200U, CT200U-EX, CT200U-AB, and more

Parts & Accessories

We stock common Coleman parts including carburetors, drive belts, chains, spark plugs, air filters, and more. Need a specialty part? We'll order it. Customer-requested parts are paid upfront — everything else, we handle.

Pricing & Diagnostics

We start with a diagnostic fee equal to half an hour of labor. If you move forward with the repair, that fee is applied to your total — you're not paying for the diagnosis twice. You'll get a written estimate before we start any work, and we won't go over it without your approval.
Need it back fast? The $100 rush fee moves your Coleman straight to the front of the line.
