    Supercharger on gokarts question

    for someone who knows more about engines then I do. for a basic gokart engine lets say 212 pred or what ever. could you run a supercharger off the main crank? I can't see why one couldn't. but maybe there's something I'm missing. Also I've wondered as well, has there been any successful fuel...

    Your Bum is important too!

    wooden workbench

    I'm not sure if this will be sound enough.. my current workbench is at the end of its life. cutting things on top of it, is annoying, at best. its mostly for general use, some wood working, the picture doesn't show all the joinery and mounting hardware. Just wondering if it will be stable, or...

I don't think any of the screws...
