anyone successfully done that here? It looks like fun!

just thought I'd post this for all the vintage/really cool old stuff guys on here, Looks like it would be fun to drive around! http://albany.craiglist.org/rvs/1267625276.html

that's an awesome idea, where was this info when I needed it???lol

yeah I never got around to wet sanding or buffing it and I only used 80 grit to sand down most ofthe truck before painting it. It would definitely look better if I had, but I saw pics of a paint job with this paint that was wet sanded and buffed and after 2 years it was still shinin'.

this is in theory, a brilliant setup, and you can realisticly change the engagement rpm by changing the spring tension, or the weight of the clutches to conform to the engagement properties that you need, but the dis-engagement is the problem. if you can figure that out, you've got it made. even...

just kicked on to the thread, the paint gun you got is old yes, but dependingon what kind of paint you're spraying, it can work just fine, the tip on there will work great for the old school paints like laquer or like someone else here said about the rustoleum paints in the quart cans, if you...

honestly I think all of your options are in here, If you already have a keyed shaft, you can either try the 4 bladed hacksaw method, or dremel a keyway and then square it off with a file and some spare time (good file=less time) bad file=pissy ol' lady lol

where'd you get that carb, I think my stock carb crapped out on my yesterday, it died, and I can only get it to pop now, seems to have plenty of spark, so I figure it's gotta be the diaphragm or the carb, and if I can get a mik for cheap, it'd be better anyhow. thanks

I'm going to try and design one tomorrow with the belt drive because I can't seem to find a freewheeling #35 chain sprocket, so my original Idea is scrapped

you're right, after seeing your reply I looked up odyssey parts, and i found exactly what I was looking for, I was trying to figure out how the heck to mount the stupid thing, there was a pillow block style bearing tied into a drum brake, which I assume was the parking brake from what I have...

those wheels look awesome, throw another post up when you get to ride it and let us know how the acceleration and top speed is.

I'm not sure what it came off of, the kart originally had a different axle on it, but was removed from it when we got it, he gave us this axle/drive unit with it, Ill post a pic of the whole thing tomorrow, i didn't get a chance to do it today. Thanks for the info mike

thanks for the reply, I don't really need too much top speed, and in order to come back from the tracks, I have to climb a 100ft hill that's better than a 45 degree slope.

I was just thinkin of the same type of thing, kind of, bear with me here; for a cart, with enough room; cent clutch on motor driving a jackshaft with a stepped pulley (3 grooves increasing in size) three belts; slack at rest with a similar but reversed pulley on the axle and a manual shifter for...

just out of curiosity did you get the new wheels and tires yet? I wanted to get bigger ones for mine too and I wanted to see how yours work.

hey guys, I saw the post about the dune cycle, and saw the one on ebay and it just got me itchin'. So I'm gonna build my own. I have some 1-3/8 and 1-1/4 tubing lying around and I can't think of a better use for it! my question is can I use a 6.5 hp with a cent. clutch 10t with a 72 tooth on the...

hey fellas, I joined here a while ago and have been soaking up stuff ever since, I got a mini-bike frame, motor and front wheel for free, got the motor running that day, ordered a back wheel and was driving it around as soon as it came (reaching under the seat to operate throttle) now I have a...

got this home-made kart frame with front suspension, atv tires and the rear axle looks kinda like an atv axle/snowmobile geared hybrid thing, can I use a comet 40 driver on this? it's like 9:1 ratio in the gearbox.
