Gearing is spot on at 6 to 1. Most run 10 X 60, but 9 X 54 is the same thing.

To whomever started the " Department of Education " ( might have been Carter ) Nice job. Children were better educated 150 years ago when one teacher taught in a one room school house filled with kids from 1st to 8th grade.

Certainly no expert ( and not highly educated ), but I wonder if the world of screens and videos doesn't have something to do with the down turn in literacy. Having your device tell you what you want to know. A couple of generations ago the only way to acquire knowledge was to read it out of a...

The crank being pre clearanced has nothing to do with the rod hitting the block in several places. What they mean is that the counter weights on the crank have been ground down enough to clear the block. A 60mm stroke is going to push the rod farther out towards the block than a 58 or 55 mm...

I have built 5 212's, and 2 224's. Recently. Nothing to the extent that you have proposed, but pretty stout none the less. So let me shed some light on what you're doing. The bottom end of the ARC billet rod is a LOT bigger than the stock one. Putting one in a 224 which has a 58mm stroke...

Way back when, ( I think it was on this thread ) I got sort of beat up by mentioning how simple it would be with an old English twin, Amhal carburetors, and a Lucas magnito. After reading over the last 8 posts of today I think that I feel even stronger about my statement. I realize that once...

To run a oil cooler of any kind, wouldn't it be necessary for there to be a pump? Otherwise it would just sit there and not circulate. Just thinking out loud.

Very glad that I am about 110 miles away from that place. You're right, the guys on the full sized motorcycles don't belong there. I haven't seen it yet in person, but the local news reports mobs or gangs of young teens doing the same thing on their electric bicycles. You rarely see a regular...

So Hack, you were able to film Denny on his rocket scooter.

It's proper title is " wanted to buy ".

Never herd of a balance line. Is that something related to the computerized fuel injection? Or are you in uncharted territory? Just curious. Sounds good.

We're all little boys inside.

You're right about the L S engine family. I'm sort of stuck in the past. Unbelievable the amount of horsepower those engines can produce. And even be smog compliant.

Oh oh. Now I see a vac unit and hoses. It's not a porta poty cleaning machine is it?

Is that the whole thing?. In your first picture, post # 116 it almost looks like something is missing up front. I was going to guess it was a motorized trailer mover, but there is no ball on it. So now that I've at least guessed, put and end to this unbearable suspense and tell us what it is.

Post # 7, very important. It looks like a stock style carburetor. I have a 301 that has been modified. Still run the stock carb. Looks like yours. I run a .040" or a .041" main jet. Don't remember which. But for ease of starting, drilling the pilot jet out to .021" made a HUGE difference. Stock...

The popularity of, and the amount of hop up parts available for the predator 212 make it ( in my opinion ) the small block Chevy ( by far the most popular hot rodded engine of all time ) of the go kart world. Is 572 the biggest that G M made? I thought they was a 620 cu. in. crate motor. I...

They are migrating your way. Build a big fence. Maybe a wall.

Not what you had in mind. Is it too rough? It's got all the basic good stuff for a off road kart. Suspension at both ends ( a big plus ) torque converter ( so the drive train is set up correctly ) rack and pinion steering. I have purchased 4 karts with similar features ( never that rough ) but...

OH, and some floor boards ( belly pan ) as well. Still a great foundation to build on.
