    picking a mig

    Thanks for all the opinions. After some more research and a bunch of reading, I’ve decided to go with the miller 211. Not only will it handling the small projects but it will give me all the room I will need to grow and weld thicker metal. Not only that but if I decide welding it’s for me, it...

    picking a mig

    Now that I have an idea on a band saw, would like to get opinions on the welders I'm looking at. I would like something that would be good at tackling projects around the garage. Weld the torque boxes and subframe connecters on the Mach. Building gates and the biggest project would be a...

    Pushing Throttle Rear Throttle

    If it gets away from him just by blipping the throttle, a kill switch will do him little good at that point IMO. Now he could wire up a tethered switch like what is found on snow mobiles or jet skies and attach it to his wrist when he's working from the back of the ody but I have a feeling he...

    mini sprint go kart???

    No it's ok. Without the engine, it would be more then I'm willing to spend getting it up and running. We don't have many sled or other suitable engines around here that are cheap to come by. Thanks for the offer, that was very kind of you.

    mini sprint go kart???

    I guess the seller removed the listing because I can't pull it up on CL now. Wish I would have gone out and looked at it sooner.

    mini sprint go kart???

    I guess it has been sold because I can't find the link again. I think your right Anderkart, the backend looks like the pictures you posted but I also questioned the front of the kart. Oh well...I'll keep looking for another project. Still need to finish and sell the Murry 2 seater. :)

    mini sprint go kart???

    http://lubbock.craigslist.org/mcy/2250175102.html Can anyone provide some more information about this kart? Is it home built or factory? Is this the style that is run on oval dirt tracks at one time and he just changed up the tires? Is it a good buy at the asking price? Looks like it's running...

    Testing Connections and starter with a Test Light?

    A test light (I personally don't like them but it better then using your tongue) basically can work two different ways. The first, and most common, is to test for a 12 volt positive at the source. This will be set up by grounding the alligator clip and testing something like the 12 volt positive...

    Man I bet that's one quick little kart, it doesn't look very heavy at all.

    Throttle connection on B&S 163212

    Toystory brings up a pretty good point. Matter of fact, the connection for the kill switch is on the back of the engine right above the spring for the throttle. Make sure everything is clear of that area

    have you done anything that might have caused the engine to all of a sudden stop having a strong spark?

    Could i build a go kart for under $400

    PVC and/or wood is a big NO if you are going to have any type of engine on it. First thing I would recommend is for you to spend a few weeks or more reading all the build threads you will find on this site and then decide if you can tackle the challenge.

    Could i build a go kart for under $400

    What type of skills/tools do you have? This will play a big factor in what areas the $400 is spent in.

    Throttle connection on B&S 163212

    How do you know you don't have a problem with the plug itself? It would be better if you buy a spark tester from a small engine/lawn mower shop.

    using riding mower wheels

    shipping would be about the same as if I bought the wheels from harbor freight (we have a local store). Plus I' m not finding anything as cheap as you did in that size.
