    Predator Engines

    Can a mod do some clean up around here? That'd be wonderful!

    In a pickle, could really use some intelligence on my side about now.

    You could use a pair of shims to increase the OD of the PTO. Some photos could help as well. This is what I did on my kart since I got a 1" ID TC and had a .75" OD PTO. In my case here, gray is the clutch, Blue is the 2 shims, red is the key into the PTO, yellow/green is the clutch's...

    Manco Project/Revival

    That's almost definitely a dead axle kart. I wouldn't necessarily suggest a torque converter (TC) for a stub axle kart.

    What's your budget?

    Hi, new to the site

    In my opinion, a used Lincoln, Miller, etc. is better than some China brand new welder. Parts are abundant and easy to get, but usually only "disposables" (tips, liners, etc.) are needed as they're built much better.

    auto darkening welding helmet

    You can easily tack without a helmet. Sure, it's not advisable, but just to put down a tiny tack weld, it's do-able. I'm guilty.

    snapped off the end of the crank, what can I do?

    If they did use red Loctite, I have some advice. I had a run in with it this winter with snapped off bolts in a snowboard. My solution was to hand file a slot, with needle files, into the head of the broken bolt then get a soldering iron. Heat up the iron, and then place it on the bolt for...

    Hi, new to the site

    As for your welder, look for one on Craigslist. For example, I browsed my local CL: http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/tls/3098265999.html http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/tls/3119167936.html http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/tls/3062773172.html Anyways, you can probably get a MIG set up with...

    what brand of kart is this?

    Blaz should be able to ID it easily if he stumbles upon this. Bump. ;)

    Racing Kart

    I have Anderkart's image with specs saved somewhere... Now, can I find it? If I do before he sees this, I'll be sure to add it here. IIRC, it's an older Birel frame. EDIT: It's a Biesse frame, and I found the photo in his uploads on his profile page.

    what brand of kart is this?

    IIRC, the right front spindle area generally has some markings. Other members are better at just glancing at a kart and giving a model.

    My Hiatus

    You have a sister, eh? :drool5: Hahaha! Hopefully they/we (maybe me) keep up a build log online. I absolutely can't wait. 80 some HP CBR600 with first gear removed. It does 0-60 in roughly 3.2 seconds. THIS is what I want to do with life haha.

    80cc good for shifter kart?

    80 should do depending upon your (or the rider's) weight. 125 would be plenty of power and fly. Check out some karts on YouTube by searching things like "80cc go kart" interchanging 125cc or whatever and see how they perform.

    My Hiatus

    That was one of my requirements haha! And even then, I had to learn about their program to know whether or not I would like it. I was kind of wondering who was still around here from months ago...

    My Hiatus

    I'm glad to be back. I've missed this stuff. The kart hasn't been out in ages. I'm glad it's all over with and finalized.

    My Hiatus

    Well, after countless hours in the car, who knows how many miles, multiple nights in hotels (Never stay in a MicroTel, they're not worth the savings... AT ALL!), and many hours touring schools, I've settled with the University of Pittsburgh. I didn't so much pick Pitt as I managed to rule out...

    Chardon High School Tragedy

    Well, as I'm sure most of you from the US and Canada have heard, there was that tragic shooting in a rural Ohio high school. I got very scared upon seeing this story about an hour after it had first been reported to police. This summer, I became friends with 4 people from Chardon, Ohio, 3 of...
