It's alive!! Intake all done and the pulse port tapped in the block. I used some nickleI copper brake line pressed in to the hole. I wish I got a little vid of it with the muffler off. It's a whole different animal but holy crap is it loud and doesn't idle very well. I have a little fmf...

1000 pound(or whatever it weighs) RC car = bad idea, especially since you obviously are not an expert in RC systems. Fail safes need to be rock solid. Building/buying a suitablely strong steering servo will be a challenge. Large homebuilt rc have used windshield wiper motors with a servo body as...

Finished up the intake manifold tonight. It came out nice. Still want to dress it up with some material removal and shaping but that's later. Everything is going to get cleaned up and made finished looking. The port match was an interesting exercise. Drilled the pulse port to come out of the...

I've already mounted this lever(circled in red) to the tensioner for the cable to attach to. You can see the cable routing . The back of the tensioner right behind the pulley is drilled and tapped. If I need to do a suicide clutch type lever I can go off of that. It's just a not great solution...

I was doing a little searching on weather a pipe mounted pulse vs a crankcase would be ok for the fuel pump and found some info saying the pumper carb may be a little bit lightswitchy on the throttle. Guess I'll find out cause I'm going for it anyway. I can always put a boring mikuni on it...

Halfway through the intake setup. I want to hear it run. That big tillotson looks so cool. I hope it's not too much.

Terrible setup. Especially with no neutral. If it starts leaning left(or whichever side the foot clutch is)at a stop your screwed. I've considered a suicide clutch with a handle but then it needs foot brakes or right side brake. It may get a front brake on the right handle bar I suppose but not...

Jackpot! Basically got everything mounted(not final of course) and operational more or less. Machining the bores for the jack shaft bearings was super stressful. I've never had to do a pressfit into a bore. I got flanged .750 x 1.375 bearings to put on the inside of the uprights for the jack...

Get a nice firm piece of foam. Cut to shape and fit to the base board. If you can't sew, make the seat shape pattern from vinyl /leather/whatever your choice is with an extra 1/2" around for the seam that gets sewn inside out. Take it to a shoe/luggage repair place to get sewn.

Doesn't look like much new progress but put the actual engine on the mount, machined an old aluminum timing belt idler flat(looks awesome) and pressed out one of the bearings to replace it with the 17mm Id tensioner bearing. Needed to bore it to 40mm from 37mm. Set the final jack shaft position...

I got a whole bunch of machining done and got the basic drive train setup for proof of concept before setling on final height and exact positioning of the bearings for the jackshaft. The two stands at the rear will be bored for 3/4" flanged bearings. I have a 3/4" jack shaft with a 17mm end for...

You two need glasses. This is DIY GO KARTS, NOT DUM OLD FARTS. Wrong forum. GOBLESS

Yeah there is one thats very similar. I think I remember someone saying the snow blower was reed valve though. This is piston port. I'd guess the snow blower was horizontal shaft too which may have been a lot easier to use. I have a toro snowblower with a much smaller 2 stroke too, I don't know...

Hey everyone! Been awhile AGAIN but I've got this thing much closer to putting power down. There is a thread started 4 years ago I can't add to apparently that has some info on it. " Toro Suzuki 2 stroke mini bike / pit bike" I got a Bridgeport mill and a big lathe so I've been practicing my...

Carb kit/fuel pump diaphragm won't do squats if the timing is off. It won't fire with fuel down the throat, it's got spark and the exhaust isn't plugged(I think he checked) so it's got a massive air leak in the crank case or timing is off. It would still sputter with a massive air leak. Sent...

Figured a couple things out but haven't gotten much work done. I'm going to widen the rear to run a 11x6.00-5 slick on the back. I may groove it too. I just can't find a turf or dirt tire like I have for cheap enough. I had my buddy over for some work and he's a real machinist and is going to...

You have a YouTube channel? I have one but it's just little things, drift stuff I've done over the last couple years and a couple other things. Sent from my SM-J737A using Tapatalk

Hooked up 24 volts to this little 12v toy and it actually ripped pretty good. Not good enough though! A little deconstruction quick test for how the engine may have to sit. Not sure if I'm going to go straight up in the frame or match the angle of the front tube with either the front or rear...

Could be timing. It could have sheard the key if it even has one, some are just wedged. Either way try to look at the flywheel magnet passing the magneto and top dead center with a pen or wooden dowel in the spark plug hole. Sent from my SM-J737A using Tapatalk
