One thing about the old snowmobile engines, you buy sparkplugs by the case.

Not sure if I get your drift but, one thing I pick up on is the upshift then downshift on accelleration. If you punch it and it upshifts some, then downshifts some, that could be the TS (Torque Sensing) feature kicking in. TS is reactionary. Throttle, then rpm, causes upshifting. TS senses the...

The large black plastic box at the top of this photo is, I believe, the electrical junction box. It could be that the missing wiring and connector were stuffed in there. Pull the cover off and take a look see.

Sounds like OP solved some problems but still has some others? Debris in the system is certainly a problem Is that fixed? Is the concern that the filter isn't filling completely or air in the fuel lines? That happens, rule is that air wants to rise in fuel, but it won't go down in order to go...

A "farm use" is kind of a generic term along with general purpose or utility. Most likely AC and US 120v, 240v, 480v. Single phase or three phase. Those motors aren't typically used as variable speed and want all or nothing. VFD's can be used if necessary. But they take power as well, some thing...

The photo does indeed look to be a auto choke The second green goes to a temp sensor I guess? That sensor green says that they aren't using green for chassis ground, at least not strictly. Look at any other greens on the chassis to confirm or deny. A good time to use a multimeter to check. Is...

I would take all that squared off frame work you got back there and make a nice and big filtered air box for that carb. Might even consider incorporating a support bracket for the carb end. Its likely to get a bit of whipping action in that location.

I've seen quite a few suspension parts listed on kart sites. You might find something there. When dealing with shocks and springs, remember that shocks are motion dampening and springs are load bearing. High pressure shocks do some load bearing but are quickly overwhelmed with G-loads. Its the...

I'm pretty sure that those VW's are light cars, but would your kart even be in the same ballpark weight wise? The vehicle weight has to be in the range of the suspension ratings or it will be ineffective.

Don't forget to check over your fuel tank vent. My rig had some sort of roll over anti-spill device on the vent line Make sure that is clear, especially for mud dauber plugups When your problem comes up, open the gas cap to check

That's a good video I can add a additional tip from my experience. Before handling the lines, give them a close inspection for cracks, pinching and kinking. I had a situation where I was getting fuel starvation. Went through these steps but then realized that the vacuum hose was kinked Right...

You bring up a important point about the single ramp helix. That ramp direction dictates the spin direction of the pulley. But I think? that I've seen various 20 series driven's with single direction ramps and dual direction ramps. If so, I guess a dual ramp 20 would be similar to the 40...

You can buy welding backing paddles, spatulas, etc to hold behind the weld in order to fill it in. Made of copper, brass, bronze? I have used a piece of copper plumbing coupler that I smashed flat to hold behind the hole.

Couple things I picked up on Rockwell. JLO and Rockwell morphed together at some point. They were on several brands. Not Polaris, they went with Fuji early on 2 cyl 2 stroke , premix only era, anywhere from 20:1 to 40:1. Go with 20:1 if you don't know. Air cooled, axial fan. You need the fan...

In mfg, consistent fitment is a big deal. That's a big benefit of powder coating, the thickness can be anticipated and included in the design dimensions. But movement is a whole other ballgame, paint does not make a good bearing surface. Movement contact is handled by special metals like...

Ya got a couple things going on here. Your example is tricky because it covers a range of voltage and no explanation of when the 18w comes up, at 9v or 30v or anywhere in the range? LED bulbs themselves take damn near no power, but they are raw components and typically require support circuitry...

Another thought would be to incorporate a CVT driven pulley jackshaft that extends over to the existing drive sprocket alignment.

Yeap, this is likely your problem. Simple cart wheels are designed to fit on threadless axles where you insert a cotter pin with a loose fit and allow the wheel to float around a bit. The threaded axle relies on a stack of parts that the nut tightens down on. From washers to bearing inner races...

I built up a fine looking pile of scrap metal through the years of dumpster diving. Fair warning: You do have to be on your toes and stay aware of the markets. When scrap prices are down, many places have to pay to haul away worthless scrap and are fine with folks reducing the pay by weight...

One thing about the GY6 is that they come with a pretty decent electrical capacity, which tends to increase on the larger and newer engines. The newer 150's have evolved up to 180-240 watts. That's pretty good for charging plus extra bells and whistles. I don't really know where the various yard...
