Looking at clutch setups for my minibike for 150ft drag racing. From the videos I've seen, it appears that the torque converters have a slight delay in engaging. My engine is a professionally built briggs flathead that can turn 9000+ rpm on an old school DB30 that I'll be running 11" tires on...

No pictures or hard evidence, but I believe what these guys say just like I do about the guys on here. http://karting.4cycle.com/showthread.php?82924-Flywheel-explode

I found this really interesting. I didn't realize the valve springs didn't compress evenly, and the harmonics at high rpm are crazy. Neat stuff. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a-fs8CFnZ_g ---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------...

I live in the Boston mountians of northwest Arkansas and come from a long line of hillbillies. We can walk through the woods and tell you what you can and can't eat, which mushrooms are edible, which ones aren't, and which ones will make you see dragons. One of my favorite things is something...

This really impressed me and I thought you guys might enjoy it. https://www.theturboforums.com/threads/381992-DIY-Cast-Intake-Plenum

Any idea what this is? My buddy described it on the phone and it sounded like an old bulldog to me (had one, want another) so I jumped on it, but now I'm not sure what it is. Anyone got any ideas? I got it for $75 so I'm good either way.

I'm having a terrible internal confict. Here's the skinny. My eldest daughter is 22 years old as of November 14. She has a 7 month old son with her high school sweetheart, who she also married. Never even had any other boyfriend. They were to go to Christmas at my Mom and Dad's as she hasn't...

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqg0Y9t3CAY Am I the only one who thinks this is a pretty bold maneuver?

What do you guys think man's most useful invention has been? I'm not talking about discoveries, but rather something that was created from raw materials to serve a purpose. I'm going with the spring.

I let my brother ride my go kart. It went from together to apart.

It kind of makes it look like a unicorn, but it's on there.

One lands on your pond, and the next thing you know it's covered. I got my minibike just over a year ago, and the 79cc flathead was the only small engine I owned with the exception of my chain saw. One is another flathead I bought off ebay, and my neighbor showed up with another GX120. That...

So I'm doing what I usually do when I can't afford something that I want, I'm building one out of spare parts and scrap steel. Will it work? Your guess is as good as mine, but we'll all find out together. https://youtu.be/LyKBSNbdIlo

But hey, I finally got a go kart. I figure I'll swap engines between this and my minibike and develop this one as much as I can for some semi local minibike drags I've found.

So I yanked the head off of the GX120 I just picked up, and it has teeny tiny valves. Who would you suggest I send it to for big valves and why?

My neighbor across the road gave me a genuine GX120 this afternoon. He says he has two more just like it coming to me for free, and possibly an 18hp twin of some variety. He works for a mega corporation that's scrapping a few lawnmowers right now and he's getting me the enigines for free.

I'm sure some of you here know I'm into more than just karts and minibikes, so I thought I'd start a rambling mess of a thread that should at least somewhat chronicle my progress. I have way too much going on. This is a 67 fastback mustang I built and drive for my employer (his son drives it...

So we just got back from a buddy's house, and we seem to have picked up a stray along the way.

Hey guys, I have an old cool bore 5hp briggs block that I'm taking to the swap meet in about a week. Any idea on what I should ask for it? It's scrap to me and anything from it is better than nothing.
