I plan to have a kart on the healing bench today, so that it will give a photo op to show you how my engine are mounted, and where we weld them. Flyinhillbilly - how would i anneal and engine block? if i'm not mistaken, i need an oven for that, right? about the studs and welding the cover -...

will do

yea i know that type of a system, saw it in action on a different track. the lead marshal gets a radio remote control, with which he can control the rev limiter on each kart from anywhere, works using an induction tach and by rapidly grounding and un-grounding the the ignition, basically...

tbh, it doesn't look bad at all. i had engines that ware siting in a yard for a few years, picked up a whole lot more rust and went back into service just fine after a light honing. but like was said before, check the cylinder walls for pitting and scratches, if you can catch your fingernail on...

yea, that's exactly the point, the throttle disengages before the brake engages. i had a few people complain about the kart not going, the look on their faces when i slowly move their foot from the brake and the engine beginning rev is priceless

its ok =] i don't have a picture on hand, but the system is very simple. the throttle cable goes from the throttle to the gas paddle, hooks with a U shaped support onto a spring that's attached to the paddle, and from there goes to the brake paddle through a sleeve the is anchored to the...

thanks everybody! i have a feeling that i'll really like it here

There should be a black separator between the carb and the head, if you tighten the nuts that hold the carb too tight, it can crack and draw air, you need to take of the carb and inspect that part, the crack will be very thin, so you need to look closely. also, double check all the 3 gaskets for...

i would too if i had the choice, but in the end its the owner who keeps bringing these engines. i love the hondas, a few of them lasted for more then 4 years before being scraped, and even then, it was because the cylinder was bored to the max. i'm stuck with the chinesse, now i need to figure...
