Lawn-Boy Model 'E' Twins (mockup)

[jr dragster T]

Lol yeah I know it's all a joke. I forget who started the joke. I think it might have been Oscar with the sealed lead acid post. Seriosly I stay away from drug's and alcohol and have no interest in them. And it's who you'd least expect it to be. About crazycart.......No comment.

Any updates?! Waiting on your pilot's licence? Can't find an un-interupted strip of pavement long enough?

I assume you mean my 'creation'?
I just today fixed some symmetry problems I encountered with mounts.
It seems my mounts were not as identical as first thought. I did not realize how critical dimensions are in regard to mounting twins.
Chain had correct amount of tension on left side but when I mounted chain on right side found it to be too tight and could not adjust it out.
Fixed that problem and finally got engine parts to complete second engine rebuild (rings, piston, rod bearing liners).
All I really need to do now is connect throttle linkage which should make kart completely operational sometime this week.
After all bugs are worked out, kart will be completely disassembled-painted (canary yellow or pink?)-then reassembled.
Official first test run won't take place for at least another few weeks.
I will attempt to post pics of progress tomorrow.

You like pink Russ?

 

[Russ2251]

For this kart? You bet!!!

 

[crazycart]

I cant see you running a meth lab, maybe a maple syrup lab . IMO, crazycart is most likely to have a meth lab.

LOL?!! How did i miss this?

i mean SHHHHH

So far...so good.

Almost there...

That thing's gona scream with those short header's. How did you make them? Nice work Russ.

 

[Russ2251]

How did you make them?

They are bathroom sink drain pipes.

Sweet!

It looks small. Is that the frame from Northern tool?

 

[BradenM]

Why not Green for the frame Russ? Kinda like a Lawnboy tribute?

 

[Russ2251]

It looks small. Is that the frame from Northern tool?

Small is a relative term. At 5' 10" I am comfortable driving it.
Not from Northern Tool but is the same Azusa frame. Got it here:http://gokartsusa.com/azusa3557gokart.aspx

Why not Green for the frame

Thought about grabber green but pink or yellow it will probably be.

Friggin awesome, That thing is going to FLY! Why not a double expansion chamber exhaust?

 

[Russ2251]

Why not a double expansion chamber exhaust?

Just too expensive, unless anyone cares to donate to the cause.

Pipe's arent cheap.

 

[Jerryburger]

DANG, that's some really nice work! Even with those open exhaust pipes, you'd still hear me screamin' if I was driving that! I can't wait to see it go!
Do you mind me asking- Is it actually better to run a (mixture corrected) 2-stroke with open pipes or with a possibly restrictive muffler? I'm asking because some of the expansion chambers I've seen look like a pinched off Doobie (restrictive to flow) yet obviously still work. It makes me wonder if I could've pulled more beans out of my snowmobile engine if I ran a pipe instead of the Harley muffler....
4-stroke exhaust, I pretty much kinda sorta understand as far as tuning goes, but 2-stroke exhaust tech is kind of a black art to me.

Lookin sweet. I take it the gyro cable failed?

 

[Russ2251]

I take it the gyro cable failed?

Would have worked but throw was to short. Would not fully open throttle(s).
Thanx for the tip.
