A friend of mine has kids who are into go karts, and they've been racing on private tracks, so I got my kart out of storage and started messing with it. So! I've been reading threads here all morning, and thinking about my setup, which led me to looking at carbs, and the info for one carb said...

This, and I keep some heavy pieces of angle around to clamp to for 90° welds.

I started with the tribal red HF helmet which worked fine for the many years I used it. It even sat out in the rain once or twice and still worked, but I replaced it when it started to not work and the headband broke. Now I've got the back and green Titanium one which is much better, and has a...

You can run higher compression and get that power back. Propane is something like 110 octane.

Why is it a 6x6 if only one axle is driven? If it's going to be an offload cart you want to get rid of that extra axle for better traction.

As far as a gearbox, I'd look at some belt drive lawn tractors.

It's the carbon vanes that make it self lubricating, but I've replaced many "lube free" airmotors because the vanes wear out and either break or jam. But,these are motors that run 24-7.

This popped up in my Facebook just now, and I'm wondering how well it would work? #Aliexpress US $76.37 5%OFF | Electric Starter Flywheel Switch Charging Coil Motor Kit For HONDA GX160 GX200 Chinese 168F 5.5HP 4-Stroke Gas Engine Generator https://a.aliexpress.com/_d6qT0kW It's on AliExpress...

Yeah, huge, I know. I picked up a free cart yesterday but there are no wheels on it. The axle is 1"OD, and while I can find rear wheels with that ID I can't find affordable front wheels on bushings or bearings that size. I've checked Amazon, eBay, HF, Northern Tool, and I'm thinking I may have...

Does anyone have a vtwin predator? I think I can get one for about $500, but I need some measurements before I pull the trigger on it. I want to put it in my garden tractor.

I've got a hemi predator with jetted carb, and it seems the float needle isn't sealing. I haven't seen needle seats, but I have seen needles somewhere online. Now considering I have this problem, should I work on it and try to rejet the carb and see if I can make my cam work a little better, or...

It's time to replace the vertical shaft briggs in my push mower. I am planning on a Predator 5.5. I don't see on the website what the mounting style is for the blade, nor the mount pattern for the engine itself. I know its a long shot but does anyone know?

A friend of mine is having a go kart party. I'm looking for a bit more of an edge, I have a hemi Predator with light billet flywheel, billet rod, and governor delete. What I want to do next, is a cam and 14cc head, and I'm sure the cam will come with somewhere around 22b springs. This is...
