Actually found out it's a 405-30. Itty bitty baby kart but that's what sawzalls are made for. For free I won't complain. One's thing's for sure... That cage is goin bye bye.

Amish Mafia: Four Wheel Death Force

I gapped it to .010 and still nothing. Half thinking the magnet was demagnetized somehow and isn't producing any flux. Granted the new local HF is literally 500ft from me so kinda half tempted to get a Predator but I wanna actually build a 5hp Kart like the good ol days. B&S Model #136200

So just pulled a 90s B&S 5hp off a old Snapper rotatiller I was gonna use for a kart build. It was running, I took it off now it isn't. The coil seemed in poor condition so I got a new one and plug. What really gets me if the old coil is put on another engine it'll fire but the brand new coil...

I was thinking 1:2 or 1:1.5 scale. The math is easy just a matter of getting everything to fit. If guy can do it with a '39 Chevy I think I could do it with a Willys MB. Lot less intricate curves, lot less planning, and a lot more cut, grind, weld, paint. But the best part is it'll be true 4x4...

Okay that one I can account for. I tried using some as a conduit tether and about 2' in it crumbled. The same goes with generic auto parts store wire. (I actually think that's worse)

I'm old fasioned. If I didn't want to do what I do i would go ec- freindly or whatever. But to me gas and steam are superior. I dont mind the maitenence, I don't have to worry about fuel costs, and it's more natural to my instincts. I just thought it was different. This doesn't have to be an...

If I was gonna be wasteful and want something almost useless for practical use I'd put a mini steam engine on a kart. That way It'd shut the hippies up and have 100% power efficiency. Other than the weight and fuel source for the boiler...

The all of 3 indoor tracks here use battery or tethered electric (over glorified bumper car). The outdoor tracks use either pedal (like a recumbent quadracycle 2" off the ground with baby wheels) or YF 203s. (I maintained on of the track's karts). Someone came in and offered to switch them to...

I went on the Internet and found this... Never seen one of these before.

A: He said he wanted a cheap welder to learn on, not a budget breaker pro setup. B: MOST vocational schools/HS shop classes use a 90-120a MIG Welder, (which can adapt to Argon) Usually Lincoln Electric or Miller. They never start straight off at 220 due to control. (Burning right through...

Luckily it spins clockwise. I ran it for about 2min on 93 and it REALLY didn't like it. The guy I got it from said it do with the atomization in the carb that screws with things. But I had a couple Lincoln Electric Gen/Welders that came from Maine Casade when they closed down and this is the...

So I traded this for a Force 85 and was wondering if it's worth keeping or chop it up and use for spare parts. It came with the original Briggs which was about the same condition as ol' smokey on C&C's Rat. Better pics when camera stops being dinky

Holy crap. You could be one of them sick people that just hoards and hoards and hoards Honda parts and sells like 2 things a year. Us Mopar people have that issue. No one can figure out why. Is it me or did Honda steal the tail light mount bracket design from Suzuki with the GS-L series? Either...

I'd imagine it's more than that. Considering at that time you needed at least 8hp to run a 2500w gen. I have a '85 Onan 3500w that's an opposed 2cyl that's rated at 16hp. Either way I just like it for the atheistic properties. Maybe build a Mini MB and use this for the power plant using a CSC...

Alright so not as cool has a Honda NR500 engine but still a steal and a half. Managed to get it down to $300 because of travel. It's far from new despite what the ad says but a 550cc 4cyl? Now the big question is what upcoming project is this gonna go in? F4 mini chopper? Supreme Spiderbox...

Now does it actually have a charge coil or is it just a 12v starter like some of the other knockoffs? I've had a couple that had a starter but no stator of any sort. Never thought why that was even a concept.

I let a buddy's brother take my Goldwing for a spin like a few weeks after I got it since he's one the Americade people. After about 8hrs I get worried and I go to check things out. As soon as I get out to the truck my bike as well as the guy who borrowed it pull in... It had a fresh overcoat...

Gen III has a Octagonal valve cover, Gen I + II Don't. Gen II has a more streamline air filter box. It used to be that punched steel covers were Non-Hemi and cast covers were Hemi. Not sure what it is anymore.
