After taking a hiatus, I'm back -- might even have a project coming up soon ;) :auto:

Well, it's time pals. Time to delve into my first actual vehicle. Trading a gaming PC i built last year, I'll be trading for a 1989 Jeep Wrangler. Does it run? Yes. Does it drive? No. I'll need to install a new u-joint on the rear axle and install a new clutch master cylinder. Not to mention, it...

Wow, it's been a while and let me explain. I wen't MIA for a while, just fell off the deep end, i think it's been close to 8 months....wow life changes quickly. After beginning my job at the car wash I quickly decided that wasn't for me and began a new position at Papa Murphys Pizza and have...

Today I ran into a personal brick wall. A battle with my own mind. I've never been so unsure of something in my own life. I began to think about what I'm doing with my life, and realized nothing, nothing that's doing anything for anyone. I began to think about the future and realized I don't...

Was thinking of running a go kart off of a HHO(Hydrogen derived from water)... Hear it out, instead of having to deal with gas and additives and running out of gas, simply make an HHO cell which can be done with no modifications to the engine, and a $20-30 DIY HHO generator... Just a thought...

Well, again craigslist offered something I couldn't pass up. I saw an add with no picture for a Quarter Midget for $700. I asked for some pics, and talked her down to $225. Previously sponsored it has some good things going for it. Came with extra restrictor plates and other misc parts. This...

Well, today marks the official release of Windows 10...just wondering what peoples thoughts are on it? I know I'm loving it! Fast and Fluid.

On the family lawn tractor there are some terribly rounded/striped nuts. Wondering what the easiest way to remove these are. One is a carb bowl nut that's basically no wall on it. Just completely round. Any ideas are welcome. Desperate to get that carb nut bolt off to clean that carb. Hasn't...

Well, I got the race kart to run well, for a while. Now I'm at a point where I don't know where to start. I have the engine idling great with choke off, but when I go to accelerate it spits sputters and dies. Going to do the obvious thing and clean the carb, an oil change and a new spark plug...

Was thinking of purchasing a 3D printer. I was looking on CL and found a few. No luck on responses...so I started to look new. Was looking at the XYZ Da Vinci 1.0 or the pursa 8" i3v Kit...think it would be cool. Would be interesting to try to build an entire RC boat using the 3D printer...for...

I need to patch a fairly large hole in the side of my go karts bodywork(See pic, on the numbers) , as well as some cracks and other breaks. I don't know what to use to patch the plastic or how to do it either...(if only it was metal) I need it to be black... It was suggested to use fiberglass...

Wondering if anyone would happen to know where to pickup kart bodies. I know there isn't a lot of racers, as far as i have seen anyhow, but doesn't hurt to ask. I need a new body for my racing kart, body on it know is cracked and battered to death. Another question I am having is, why am i...

I am in need of some guidance. I decided to jump into the racing scene of go karts. I got a really good deal on a kart but admitting I am having my share of problems. I can start the engine (Briggs WF) on choke and rev it, and thats fine. However it wont idle or rev off choke. I don't know if I...

Just a new question about my new kart. It's got a Briggs and Stratton World Formula racing engine, but I was wondering what fuel to use? Would it be okay to use normal gas, or should I add some sea foam or fuel stabilizer or octane booster in my fuel...just a quick question..thanks for the help...

It all started like any other wanted add on craigslist. Just to see whats out there. I had an add posted for a while for wanted go karts. Most responses I got were junk. But then my luck changed. I got a response from this guy who had two racing go karts, one of which contains a Briggs and...
