    Ferrari 312pb scaled kart

    I saw the results of the auction. Do you have more videos of it running and driving? The first question most people ask is, I know it's precious and brand spanking new but potential buyers will want to see more of it running with both driver POV and "drive by" footage, and that does mean more...

    Pathwinder throttle rod

    Doodled screen shot from the video: I would flip the factory throttle rod over so the "flag" (in yellow) is on the other side. Attach the eyelet to the vertical nut and bolt on the flag, run the threaded throttle cable sheath (light blue and black) as depicted with nuts on either side of the...

    Bocart gx 420

    Nice photo, sir, from that angle. You have an eye for composition. I like how it is running, functional but not cosmetically perfect. At least not yet…😉 What is the steering setup like on the Bocart? How fast does it go?

    Pathwinder throttle rod

    NECRO-POST! 🪦 thread is from 2020 but never answered. Must've been due to covid or something.... Interesting question about a fairly obscure fun kart. For all people and not just the OP, this video explains the throttle setup. See @36:27 timestamp: However, don't do like he did. The factory...

    That is a very interesting question. The new coupler (and the old) have the rectangular socket on one end "clocked" 90° from the other. Like ↕️ on one end and ↔️ on the other. Both ends on the old coupler seemed intact in that way but it's possible it could have spun. It's working fine (knock on...

    Predator 420 Wiring Diagram

    I actually had to review your Kilowatt thread to learn the 420cc engine you have was already on the kart. Is your engine wiring butchered or cut up by the previous owner or are you trying to rebuild the wiring from scratch? Paging @Edwin Spangler...

    Quick Bits

    I finally tinkered with the garage door opener today after doing it manually for a while. I queried the A.I. 🤖 assistant on the Genie website about the issue. It replied back that it's likely to be the motor coupler, basically a $5 part. The coupler is a tubular steel sleeve about 3/4" long with...

    Anyone build a lift table?

    Should change your username to The ONLY Master Hack. I think you should lead the way, be the trailblazer. Every movement needs one.

    Time for another off topic rant

    That’s just what they hope you’ll say. Better be on your best behavior, sir :innocent: but what you just told me might constitute a thought crime…. Saw a story about an innocent guy, no actual warrant for his arrest, but every time he drove by one of those cameras, it pinged him on every...

    Manco 485-16 local find in very good condition

    Go for the 670cc V-twin, accept no substitutes! :banana: Edited to add: the factory exhaust comes as a 2-into-1 with muffler but it sounds so much better if you make it 2-into-2 with a pipe for each cylinder. Noisy too unless you muffle each pipe. They should have some decent pit bike or...

    Mad as hell that the Flock Cameras exist. The below site lets you know where they are. https://deflock.org/

    Manco 485-16 local find in very good condition

    Okay brah, I hope it fits behind the seat because the 420cc is a chonker, but the "lowly" 6.5 HP can do the job. I'm frankly amazed the punch these engines (212cc) have, over the common Briggs 132000 series 5 HP kart engine. Here's an electric start 212cc Maxpeedingrods (what a name!) just as...

    Trying to use dirt bike wheels on a live axle

    Outstanding! :cheers2: How fast does it go? How long is the wheelbase (axle to axle)? More pics please.

    Manco 485-16 local find in very good condition

    Your kart is a live axle kart, so keep in mind that a live axle only wants to go straight ahead. Turning is trouble for obvious (or not so obvious) reasons. Definitely an interesting dynamic. You basically have to power the kart through a turn at speed and if not, your front tires will just...

    Manco 485-16 local find in very good condition

    Okay. The engine cannot be easily modified to electric start. You’re going to have to find a new one that has electric start. Harbor Freight doesn’t offer an electric start on anything smaller than their 420cc engine (which is overkill). You’re going to have to do some shopping. I’d check Amazon...

    Can you rent a tire mounting tool?

    Murphy’s Law won’t like to hear that. In any case, you need more vehicles! :lolgoku:

    Manco 485-16 local find in very good condition

    Turning radius: it’s a bigger or I should say wider kart than a single seat Dingo. Make sure your tires are inflated properly and ensure the front wheels are tracking true and adjust the tie rods as necessary. If you want to turn really sharp, get either a one wheel drive kart (dead axle) or a...

    Can you rent a tire mounting tool?

    Remounting a tire of that size is easy at least to me, and I use the ‘fire method‘ to seat the rim and do the initial inflate. Unmounting is the nightmare, I agree, especially if it‘s stuck on the rim with the help of rust. I might just buy the HF tire machine or similar from a vendor. I’ve got...

    This isn't your first rodeo. Congrats. With all those issues, most would be stumped, sulking in a corner or wondering what to do next. Also...

    If I’m drunk and unfit to drive, why won’t the car drive me home then? How come we ain’t got them self driving cars yet? I want my flying Jetsons car!
