over wifi with like 3 computers hooked up to it lol

I'm 0011001000110010 can't believe I made it that long lol

i got a clone for it, and not yet on the rod, i don't expect to get it up to a high rpm

i've already got a spring to return the pedals to the original spot. and what's a con rod?

Small update today, got the govenor out, new valve springs and an emulsion tube are on the way from AGK. Seat pan is cut, needs to be welded on. I now unfortunately have to make new spindles, and have the tie rod mount facing forwards and up, instead of backwards and down.

I think the pasta would get kinda grody after a few days lol

Hopefully not, I can't wait. I'm going to be buying a boat seat, but i need to weld in a pan to mount it. But as of right now there's about 8 inches of snow on the ground here, so work is slow, especially in my packed garage, and my basement is only 5 foot tall, and i'm 6 1 lol, doesn't work too...

So, sorry about the lateness of this update, I haven't had the money to spend on the kart, gas and bills are first. I wound up getting a $60 off coupon for a 6.5 hp clone from Harbor Freight... So soon to modify, removing govenor, jack shaft to get gearing just right, and possibly a live...

thanks burban, thats what i'm going to end up doing i think, just so that i have a baseline of what it can do

idk, may change that part, i'm looking for something that will go like a bat outta hell on this, and so far the gearing just isn't looking good for that :( i just have to find a good gearing that will move fast and not be at full throttle the whole time

yeah, i've already thought of that, going to track down a nice 4 point harness like a race car has. should hold me in pretty good

Yeah, this kart's going to see mostly on road, some very very light off roading. I'll be putting a small cage on it just in case i roll lol :roflol:

Small update today, the engine's been at the shop for a few days now. I welded in some foot rests and a bolt as a ground for the battery I'm gonna be running. Got a boat seat for it, I saw one on another kart here, and decided it was an awesome idea, will be getting pics up soon, my camera quit...

I'm going to have a local guy take a look at the 10 horse briggs tomorrow and see if he can get it running with no issues. I'm going to be running the 10 on this kart, with a 12 tooth clutch and 45 on the axle. with the tires I want to run, I should be able at max to pull 43 mph (15" tires btw)...

it's a 4 stroke, but the carb on it is so screwed that it just needs replacing. i've already cleaned all the gunk out and its still bad. and what sucks is that its a mikuni carb too
