What size are you wheels? That makes a difference...

Now that I think about it it's probably the needle... And it's a carb off a X1 minibike. Thanks guys. B.

I cleaned my carb with carb cleaner the other day and went to put it back on the bike. Once I attached the fuel lines, fuel started leaking out of the carb. I checked to make sure everything was properly screwed in, and it was. Is this a problem with the diaphragm? Thanks, B

Turns out there are no tears in the rubber parts. The carb is all back together and ready to go. Ill be able to try it out soon and get back to you if it worked. Thanks for all your help, B

The formula is simple. Find the circumference(Pi•Diameter) of your wheel in feet then multiply it by the RPM. This gets you the distance in a minute (in feet). Multiply that distance by 60 to get your distance (in feet) in an hour. To get miles per hour, divide that number by 5,280. That was all...

How inexpensive would a moto-engine be?

Bike shops sometimes carry a bike speedo/tach. You put a magnet on one wheel (or other part connected to the axle) and a sensor picks up how many times the magnet passes by. This may be applicable to karts, but may not be precise enough for speeds higher than 30. Most can also calculate speed if...

There's a big community in Britan on "kit cars", Which are cars you build out of a kit of parts. Some of them are...

I drive my kart around my neighborhood. The only complaint I've had is a man threaten to call the cops. That was once in 40 times though. And there is some noise restraints in my area, but I do live in the city. I wouldn't worry about driving a few miles...

I always wear a helmet. To keep to smarts I still have...

Wheres the best place to get one? And how do I tell if it'll Fitz?

Well. I just removed the parts from the carb cleaner back. One O ring is about double the size it should be and one plastic diaphragm I didn't see it torn. Hm... Not my best idea. :worried2:

So nix the soaking and take it out in a few hours?

Ill come back a week later and they should be squeaky clean. Thanks for all your help, B.

Ive put the carb in a vat of the "Carb-medic". How long should I let it mellow? I'm going on vacation tomorrow, so would it be OK to leave it while on vacation? Thanks for your input, B.
