    people usually hate clones because they have the money to buy a name, whereas tecumseh is cheap quality, if you ask me. If clones are better than an original product, what does that say? I've had clones, original hondas, tecumsehs and used them all quite extensively. 3 Tecumsehs slung rods...

    Site Speed - Slow or Fast?

    extremely extremely slow. Unfathomably. I only click the most worthwhile posts because I don't want to be bothered by having to wait for them to load.

    McPherson strut and ball joints? Geo Metro standard transmission is fantastic on gas mileage, but I was driving the 3 cyl up a hill once with trash in the back and it wouldn't go over 40 :) If money is not an issue, you shouldn't have any problems on the build with CV joints. PM me your email...

    Any tips to get wheels off an axle?

    too much frustration, I just scrap it and move on. i'd pay the price of replacing the equipment just to avoid the frustration

    You asked about rear independent suspension. Here's a rear hub I quickly modeled up in sketchup. It uses 2x 1" flange bearings to keep the wheel from pivoting on the pivoting bearings. The extra mounting hole is for a toe control arm for adjusting toe since this design is for heim joints which...

    I got the rack from desertkarts.com 2 years ago. used it on a 2 seater buggy that I built from the plans I got from theo, although I only used the plans for the front end. here she is. i stripped her down of parts and hauled her to the scrap yard. good fun was had on it but it was too heavy...

    just make the upper wishbone mounts out futher some and shorten the upper wishbones. camber change during travel will be only 1-2 degrees at full travel. Look at any 4 wheeler and you'll see the same thing anyway. the 10-15 degree angle of the upper and lower wishbone mounts helps with roll...

    Iindependant rear suspension? that'd be IRS, not ISR. Had me looking everywhere... It depends what you want in your suspension Bill. Like theo says, single a arms work fine for off road fun karts but if you wanna build something high performance use doubles.

    bumpsteer is what i'm talking about. it's very simple to get rid of. In this picture you see on the left, the upper and lower ball joints with a line going through. On the right you see the heim(ball) joints that attach to the frame. on the left there's already the imaginary line, on the...
