I wish. I’m just a fanatic of sorts and am cursed with a photographic memory. 😧

Nah, it’s permanent and there’s nothing wrong with that. Yes, I want to see the dangly bits but it sounds so wrong, damn you Ed. 😆 What are those clampy things on the ends? Sorry for the hijack OP but we needed more information. Motor mounts *can* move, but you just clamp them down harder? How...

It hasn’t sold yet. The seller is a bit daft to be listing it at a buy it now price and so high. Should be an auction in my opinion. Oh well.

Would definitely love to see more photos; this kart has some neat and obscured features. Drum brakes, through-the-floor pedals and such.

No need for rust removing chemicals or a sandblaster, just get an angle grinder and an assortment of flap discs, sanding discs and wire wheels. Make sure the latter are rated for something like 10K rpm but that won’t stop individual wire strands from launching into low earth orbit or into your...

That kart is cool! My first impression was that it was a factory kart or something bought from Sears, like this: Can’t find another one like it, but that’s perhaps due to the fact that search engines suck now. No need to restore or refurbish the whole thing at once, I’d stick a gas engine on...

One photo is enough, but what’s the wall thickness of the PVC? I see it is slit and has a custom hose clamp friction device, or does that control how tight it is? Too tight and you can’t steer?

Sure you can do that. What does the whole rear end look like? That does appear to have a lot of exposed or unsupported rear axle. I’ve seen more than my fair share of bent axles on this site...

Not one of those guys were launched over the handlebars, dude. Not even the kid on the Royal Enfield heheheh...

I’m torn over surveillance, good if it’s private and on your own property or where you work and heinous if used for mass surveillance like those Flock cameras or stoplight cameras. Might be a good idea to get some cameras; they are easier nowadays as they can be wifi connected and solar powered...

Hey nikkisixxjr, post photos of the new (one that works) and the wrong starter assembly you got. This is an unexpected series of events.

You mean steamjunk? 😁 Great concept, Ed, but your invention needs refining. I think one screw is superior if you can keep the mount square to the kart frame.

Now that’s what I call compression! Surely *you’re* making an extreme exaggeration and that’s not possible. Do you weigh 75 lbs? Wonder if the “JMCH” kickstarter would fit his engine? The starter-self-abuse could continue, just in a different manner. 👢💥🤕

I didn’t understand the concept, but the threaded mechanism looks like a great way to adjust chain tension.

Cool! Playing catch up on this thread. Where’s the radiator going to go?

That exhaust is bad arse! And I think the carbon fiber is faux “car-bin fighber”. Looks spiffy though, Master Dawg.

You got that minibike running yet? This could be you this summer....

FYI: It’s a Manco model 400 with an incorrect steering wheel added. Sold under various names over the years and also known as a Sears Silver Arrow. These should be kept as one-wheel-peel (or “dead axle”) because they are fun to drive due to the offset thrust and “squirrely handling”. The very...

🚨NECRO-POST! 🚨 It is a Manco model 400 but could have had any kart name (like Quicksilver III), according to the manufacturer’s whim. https://landmaster-assets.american-landmaster.workers.dev/uploads/manuals/Fun-Kart/400_operatorsmanual.pdf This version included a jackshaft assembly “speed...

I think collecting a dozen of these engines to use as donor engines, as well as for primary use is a good idea at this point. I think the crankshafts are no longer available anywhere. If I were going to focus on a certain type, I’d seek out the Industrial Commercial “I/C” versions which...
