    tecumseh 8HP torque converter problem

    Thanks for the tips and advice I'll see what I can do about a tune up and improving my gearing. Most of TC is new except the driven and I got a new carb 2 months ago when I got the frame and engine, but like you said it could just be getting old and need to be tuned(or replaced).

    tecumseh 8HP torque converter problem

    Mechanical brakes

    I'm building my first go kart(actually more like rebuilding) and I've come to the point of installing brakes and brake lines, I've got the cable and the brake but I don't know the most effective way to link the line to the brake, ideas?
