Expensive ? True, but Its also priceless. Its really easy to drop waay more $$ on other grown up hobbies. I look forward to this hopped up dingo build. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

I got it at the local Tractor Supply Co, but other big box stores may have similar items... here is a snapshot of the item from the TSC online store: Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

Heres a link to a video with sound if you want to hear it. Skip to the end where I am staying close to the camera (phone). When I am holding the phone and going more than 20 mph, you hear the wind ;) https://youtu.be/YlGP0D15dGM Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

I started with a header pipe, but sectioned it and added a pipe fitting that allows me to screw on a 13HP 'sausage' muffler. The muffler sounds better than stock, but not as loud as the pipe alone. BTW, I also did the other stage 1 mods, a better flowing air cleaner and jet (not shown in...

I just went through my first belt replacement in the past week or so and have been followin your TC tuning adventures for the bike. See photo for drawings from a Comet belt sleeve showing the angles on the different types of belts for reference. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

I have a 300 lb kart with a 250 lb rider and 20" tall rear tires, powered by a stage 1 Predator 212. It had 6" driver and 6" driven clutches when the clone belt went out The clone belt lasted 10-15 hrs with this heavy load and mostly offroad (muddy) track driving. The info on the Comet belt...

That x brace on the roll bar and high back headrest looks really nice. Looking good ! Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

I have a similar set of digital gauges for my car project... Are yours by Intellitronics by chance ? Nice to see you using a signal generator, power supply and have a 'scope on the bench ! ...so no speedunio EMS for you ? I am amazed that you have it running boost on a carb with with no EMS or...

Looks like you have a great yard trencher there. Shouldnt be long before you are spewing rooster tails of fine particulate yard matter any time you twitch on the gas pedal. Having the mix of the large displacement v twin with lots of low end torque and the turbo boosted HP should be a blast to...

Happy New Year all. <Edit> Here is my test and tune video compilation (~10 minutes of yard track footage in November and December) https://youtu.be/YlGP0D15dGM My final update from 2019 is that we took the yard kart to an offsite location to drive on a .45 mile loop around a recently...

Not sure about your grinder, but I found my small arbor Ryobi will run both 3-1/2" and 4-1/2" wheels. I get reasonable serivce from a 10 pack of the Dewalt 4-1/2" cutoff wheels at TSC. For most weld grinding and paint removal I really like a good flap disk. These are awesome for metal...

Happy New Year ! Bending the rear frame member... it will be used for the rear wheel guard , suspension mounts, seat mount and roll bar mount. Its made from thick wall 3/4 pipe. Shows the two 90 degree bends on the end and two new bends in the opposite direction. One side was too far, so I...

Coat of paint on the tubing bender. I will try making a bending die out of the front rim the blew out on my yard kart. The larger radius may work better for working with tubing. I went by the recycler today and will be buying up more of those 4' sections of tubing for kart related projects...

First test run with new 7"driven and Comet belt... taking it easy around the sloppy yard track and I nailed it JUST ONCE around a turn and broke the master link. JTSD - I feel your pain. BTW... I have not had ANY issues at all with the chain, but made one adjustment for stretch a couple of...

FA, good point ! Actually, the side bars are about shoulder height and width because I like to lean into turns, and want to have some wiggle room so I dont continually bump into the bars when riding. Hard to measure everything without having something tacked into place. I'm getting some of...

All my Christmas gifts are in, and ready for a couple of days use in 2019. My daughter sent me a 7" driven pulley and a yellow spring (thanks, Ash!) and my son and my wife got me an impact driver (thanks Eli and Aida!) I got to pick out my own belt this year, so I picked one from Comet and it...

Today I spent a few minutes trying to balance tubing long enough to get these shots. I will be using a tall seat, and that will set the angle for the roll bar hoop, also need to put more bends in my lower frame bar. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk

I'm supposed to be cleaning out the garage, but I found this stainless steel door from an old gas grill and decided to see if I could skin the front of the Yard Kart with it. This will help keep some of the mud and moss, grass and dirt out of the drivers compartment. Sent from my SM-J700T...

Thanks, guys... Its looking like it will be somewhere between 60 and 70". Thats pretty long for 36" width, but I will be keeping the CG low as possible and make it have a cross kart kind of vibe with an angular cage. I had a few second thoughts about DIY bender, after a couple of trips to the...

Moved the engine from the power washer to the rear clip today, also cleaned up the 1-1/2" tubing from the treadmill to make a roll bar. Measuring for a conventional layout with a longer wheelbase. Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk
