    Race Kart Refurb | New Project!

    Yeah, thanks for listing those! Good to know that's what they're called! Eventually I'm probably gonna take this thing all the way apart to refurbish it properly, there's extra stuff from where the nerf bars used to be mounted, gotta cut that off and clean up a little rust that's developed in...

    Race Kart Refurb | New Project!

    All right I finally got it all back together! After going to GoPowerSports to pick up some parts, I reassembled it, cut off the custom muffler, and it fired on the second pull! Somehow the hose clamp I was missing was in the blower housing, so it got a bit mangled, but oh well. After pulling it...

    Race Kart Refurb | New Project!

    I got around to checking today, they're made of hollow steel tubing, which I presume is to function as a crumple zone in a crash.

    Yeah...... I was in contact with chancer for awhile, but he just stopped responding to DMs, I don't know what happened. He said he was gonna ship it to me via UPS, but that apparently never happened. So the last known location is with Chancer in Comfort Texas. Maybe try DMing him again?

    Bang pop pop bang pop how do I stop

    Start rich and work it leaner, better too rich than too lean, as a rich engine will still run, and as the engine gets leaner the power drops much more sharply than if it's too rich.

    Bang pop pop bang pop how do I stop

    If it turns out too lean with the 100 jets the worst that happens is you can drill it out a little bit. It sounds like it's running way too rich right now anyways so I get the feeling it'll be a lot better with the 100s.

    Bang pop pop bang pop how do I stop

    You’re running too rich according to that spark plug. But before you think it’s the fuel system, it’s it’s as likely to be weak spark which will give the same symptoms. Try a standard spark plug, those fancy “racing” ones don’t really do anything, it’s better to invest in a reliable long lasting...

    Yeah to be honest PCs are far more flexible. You can attach a controller to a PC but not really a keyboard to a console. Plus you can build your own PC just how you want instead of buying a pre built console.

    Currently I run Pop! OS 20.04 Long Term Support (LTS). Additionally I use the Cinnamon desktop environment which makes it more Windows-like to use. I currently do all Steam games on Linux, so I installed the Steam Client and then that's how I run my main games: Terraria and Dota 2. But I have a...

    Daaaaang, Dingo! Your "casual" gaming setup is nicer than mine! I'm running an Intel Core i5-3470 @ 3.20GHz, 8 GB of RAM, and a 2 GB AMD Radeon HD 8670 graphics card. But I run Linux so it's easier on system resources. I used to play Minecraft but frankly it got boring. At least Terraria has a...

    Yeah Discord is really nice for partying up. I will say though that League of Legends only has voice chat for members of your party, so it's not a problem in League. In Dota 2 on the other hand........well, one time I was using the team voice chat to help coordinate, and then one guy literally...

    Yeah there are some pretty toxic people in MOBAs, but honestly it's not nearly as bad in the Ranked competitive matches since there's actually something on the line. Usually Unranked matches are where the trolls and toxic people are. But alas, there'll always be THAT guy that is pointlessly...

    So basically I'm just curious how many people in the DYGK community are also gamers. This thread can also be used for miscellaneous gaming talk. This past year I had a pretty nice PC gifted to me from a friend, and he introduced me to "proper" gaming. Up until then I'd basically just done dinky...

    What limits RPM on clone engine?

    From what I know, Honda rev limiter coils have some kind of transistorized system that cuts spark at a certain RPM, don't know much beyond that since I mostly deal with Briggs flatheads.
