Yeah and I need to avoid reinventing the wheel. I have a nasty tendency of going overboard.

Thanks so much. And I’m here for the long haul. I have given up social media and want to dedicate my online time with friends who share a similar passion. Between this forum, Modwigglers (a synth building forum) and Photonlexicon (a laser optics forum) i have the all the social life I’ll ever...

AWESOME! I was afraid that no one would be interested. Let’s build it! Ok, let’s be realistic about the challenge we face. Every step of this build is going to require possibly months of testing and adjusting. For example, the tracks alone won’t be fungible commodities. Chances are that there...

Part 2 (character limits 🤬) I recently dated a Dutch artist who creates amazing kinetic physical works of art with complex circuitry. And their purpose is to explore shadows via methods of altering light (google Ryoji Ikeda to get the idea - but Ryoji wasn’t my bf). My bf and I had the greatest...

Sounds very interesting and look forward to it. PART 1 I’m excited to show you guys. I know I must sound insane when it comes to my obsession with tools and tinkering. But I have to admit that I love every second i spend in my shop. EVERY SECOND! I even love cleaning up and constantly making...

Sure do. I’ll upload a video tour of it tomorrow. There are some interesting features that really need to be explained and seen in motion to be appreciated. i actually built the shop building myself to my own weird specs. I wanted to go overboard in terms of amperage supplied to its sub panel, i...

That’s a great area too. I love to drive up to Wilmington on occasion for the great restaurants and eclectic vibe. It’s a super chill town.

I LOVE Murrells Inlet. In fact I wish I had bought there when I moved to the area. There are some great art studios in the inlet as well. Are you in NC?

I’m in Myrtle Beach, SC ☀️

Oh yeah. You’re right. I still love the original Road Warrior. I can’t imagine how fun it would have been to build the props for that movie. Dream job!

Wow! I haven’t logged into this awesome forum in 13 years (if my math serves me right). I joined in 2012 after my nephew begged his lazy father and tone deaf mother for a go kart to no avail. So, knowing NOTHING ABOUT GO KARTS OR ENGINES, i decided to build him one 😂. And let me preface that I’m...

Yeah i agree Toystory. I think i'm gonna put the stock springs back in and see if that works. I would go the billet route but i'm not confident i could get the flywheel off and i don't even know what the rod looks like.

Thanks . . i will check the other thread

I got the parts from ombwarehouse.com. I think i misspoke when i said i was "unhappy." What i should have said was that i am scared the motor is going to blow up. I didn't remove the governor but i had to fabricate a longer governor arm after installing the non-factory carb. This resulted in...
