You may also run into some issues using a cent. clutch with 18" tires and a 6:1 ratio.

I'm surprised that clock doesn't move household trinkets when no one is home. It's got creepy powers!

My school bought a 6 new Chicago Electric cheapies from HF after my teacher used mine once while trying to teach a kid to weld. The kid was wearing his $125 auto darkening so he wouldn't flash the kid (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!) and realized how bad the flip downs suck so he borrowed mine and liked it...

For a first time welder, MIG is the way to go. IMO, it's the best way to get comfortable with molten metal, deadly amperages, and blindingly bright light when you're all new to it. I would love to learn how to TIG weld. MIG is very useful though, andI believe some type of Rolls Royce is MIG...

When you burn oil...it smokes. Hence why some people refer to 2 strokes as 2 smokes. Oil burns with a more visible smoke than gas does. Even with a 40:1 mix ratio or something.

That should be fine. 6:1 combined with a 40 series would do just fine.

Your local Craigslist is probably the best bet. Do you plan on racing competitively or just karting for fun? If it's for fun, an outdated (could be outdated in 5-10 years) but still excellent condition and usable frame can be had for $150 or so.

That should be fine, although you may have to move your driven sprocket somewhat since that clutch does not allow the PTO to slide all the way thought it. The GTC's are clones of the Comets, which are rated at 8HP. There's no way cloning it allows it to take more power. One member here has...

Heck, wipe off the dipstick with your finger if need be.

So tonight, I went to the Verizon store to upgrade my phone. Well, I liked the Droid 3, but it was $50 cheaper online so I decided to save some money and buy it online. The guy in store didn't mention it, but I spotted it and it's online as well, the Droid 3 is BOGO, if you have 2 lines...

This is a crazy story! Was anyone able to even place a price tag on something of that age, condition, and rarity?

Mine was always stored in dark since I had to lock it in a locker at school so it wouldn't "walk off" on me. I never had any flash issues, but I don't even know if it's battery back assisted or not. I got it from HF and let it sit out for a day to charge up then never did anything special...

You're probably going to want a quad front tire to get that size...

It's an H30 Russ?? http://www.tecumsehpower.com/CustomerService/OperatorManuals/pdf/181-789-14.pdf

In regards to the spindles, I just feel like the welds holding those big bolts to the kingpin tubes are a bit too small. Who knows, they may hold, I'd just hate to see them hold til you get just far enough away from a welder when they go.

There's a switch on them for slow/fast response. I have the absolute cheapest one from HF and had no issues. Welding throws plenty of light to charge it. :wai: I used my shop teacher's $125 and the only difference was a paint job and his had a slightly larger window. Maybe 1/2" taller.

Did you pull those from a parts manual? What's the serial # on your motor? Maybe someone here can find it some how.

Looking back at it, I'm kind of worried about the welds holding on the stub axles.

Well, I never used my $35 mask from HF with stick, but I did use it with a MIG churning out 250 AMPs, so it was pretty bright. I believe mine goes from shade 9-13, so you can check what shade your flip-down is and compare that. I really like it since you don't need to take a hand off to flip...

Could you relocate your caliper so that the rotor is just a few inches from a tire? This way any bumps would most likely be gone over by the tire and save your rotor.
