Its a start...

[pmat]

So i got my frame done today, need to work on a few of the welds, but its a start =]
more pics on progress to come

[brendonv]

make all those squares and rectangles triangles, makes it a hell of a lot stronger. Especially the middle section, it looks pretty weak.

[pmat]

its a little late for that, plus, im broke now :ack2: its very strong as it is :bannana:
today i got my front spindles, steering, and wheels on, welding is fun :rolleyes3:

[pmat]

new pics :D

[JerryAssburger]

Very cool! Looks nice and wide/comfy! Should corner great!

[pmat]

new!

[pmat]

newer

[Raywelder]

I see why you need such a long axle now! Dang, Why so wide!?

[pmat]

thats what i thought after i saw it put together :/

[pmat]

updates.. did petals, made motor mount, ordered axle, bearings, and sprocket holder, and gettin break tommorow

[Raywelder]

You could make use of all that space and line up like 5 or 6 motors! now that would be cool.

looks good so far!

my 8hp takes up about 1 1/2 ft of the 4 ft. its not that big :p

The honda 8hp,or briggs.
The honda is massive compared to the briggs

[Raywelder]

Lol nvm. Wasn't paying attention I see it now.

[pmat]

the only problem with it is the gas tank is right behing me,, the cap 2 in from my neck.. i gotta figure out how to move the tank and set up a pump

[Raywelder]

Whats wrong with it being behind you?

[pmat]

just a lil too close for comfort
ive had bad experiences with gas

[pmat]

still waiting for clutch and axle...

[pmat]

I dont like the gas tank behind my head. but... i have an old oil injection tank + pump from my boat, since they were known to fail we use premix now, could i possibly use this tank + pump for gas? or would the seals melt from gas?

[pmat]

STILL waiting for the clutch and axle i paid for it and it came in 3 weeks ago but my lazy *** stepdad wont pick it up!!! im ready to kill him!

[pmat]

Ok now im thinking of chopping it in half and having frames for 2 karts, the way it is now, it will hardly support 2 people, it is too wide and heavy, and it will not drive inbetween the trees in my woods. and i could use the other half for my crazy idea of a zero turn go kart using the wheelhorse 616z ztr i have that is junk

[88s10Durango]

Why not cut it in half and use the spare half for a part of a roll cage ??

[pmat]

not enough metal for a cage. rollbar, maybe.

[pmat]

i dont think this will ever get done. lazy *** step dad :ack2:

Until then.... here is a bird on my air compressor.

Doubtful. An injection pump handles some pretty small quantities of fluid to pump to venturi in the mouth of a 2 stroke carb. Therefore, small orifice, low volume, with higher pressures generated. Open the orifice wider and your pressures go away as friction loss alone steals tons of your available pressure, not to mention the already low volume pushed by the pump.

Your best bet is something simple. Just use the head pressure of an elevated tank in the rear. If positioning spooks you out, move it, but let gravity do the work. One thing you can always say is that gravity is a part that'll never break on you.

oh thats almost to strong having a frame thats to stiff is bad because it will roughen up you ride
