I purchased 20' of 1" tube .065 thick to practice welding on, bends really easy but I think it's way to thin for a kart frame.

I want to put that 3d manual clutch on my kart, but I don't want to spend the $170 for it to break :-/

I will most likely end up milling the head. I wanted to "squeeze" everything out of the engine before having to modify the actual structure of the engine. As far as the rod goes, Jody at ARC said the standard length is all you can put on the Hemi Predator due to valve clearances (without putting...

I will probably go with spacers. I wanted to run my spindles upside down because the tie rod connection juts downwards and I wanted to aim them inward and run my tie rods behind the steering wheel instead of the front; however, the way they were designed would put my kart 6" off the ground. I'm...

Spindle/rim clearance... could be an issue.

Parts from ARC came in!

Spoke with Hunter at ARC (Jody is out all week), he said the 32lbs springs on the Hemi head would not have enough travel and most likely cause valve binding. He said if I'm not getting enough force, I can always shim the 26lbs. Curious if anyone has any experience with this cam and spring setup.

I couldn't get a hold of anyone at small engine cams. I spoke with Jody over at ARC and he said the 275F needed 26lbs. I didn't know they called for the 32lbs. I'll have to double check that.

Curious, this is probably a stupid question (which do exist by the way), can you balance steel one piece wheels? I would assume so. Everyone keeps recommending balanced racing wheels for the speeds I am trying to achieve, but can't any wheel be balanced? The only thing I can think of as far as...

Sorry the ARC parts picture didn't post. PNGs not allowed, here it is. ** Also ordered valve grinding compound and tire spoons off Amazon because one piece steel tires a a PITA

Picked up a few things and placed the order for the ARC Racing parts. Should be here by the 19th. Going tear into the engine on the 21st after I get some bench mark tests (and figure out how to weld my frame back together :lolgoku:. Picked up the Predator Hemi on Friday. Went to GPS after work...

I have seen this website referenced several times here on DIYGK? Was looking to get some answers about the Black Mamba Jr cam. I thought this was the guy who made them.

Sorry, smallenginecams.com

Has anyone been able to reach these guys? Tried calling them all last week and this weekend. Something about a magic jack customer. Anyhow, are they still delivering parts if order online?

So, I've decided against drifting(some what). I can add PVC to my tires and drift whenever. I think I'm going to go with the fastest predator build. I've only been able to find threads where people have pushed the predator 212cc to 62mph*, I want to go faster. That being said, I am going to do...

well played... well played.

did you just jew star the sprocket?

Mail time and Updates A few small things I received in the mail. NR Racing sent over my 22mm Mikuni adapter and it fits. Hooray. I also received my new front spindles. I had planned on cutting some height off of the spindle mount to put some heavy springs that would give me some front...

Question regarding the Predator 212cc Engine. I am trying to squeeze everything I possibly can out of this engine in that regards, is there anything I am overlooking with these mods? Maybe something I am missing. This is my first engine mod so I have just done my own individual research and feel...

FR cast off?
