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

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

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...

Maintenance people. Learn it. Love it. Become it. So about 4 months ago I let my cousin borrow my 606 to use for a something which I long since forgot. I got it back this morning after having to break through 3ft of solid ice to get to it. (Notice his care for his C90). I get it out of the snow...

Has anyone heard of these DuroMax engines? The reviews seem bot-like but it seems like a decent deal. Thing is I've seen Clones that outlasted the Hondas 10 fold then those that disintegrate during shipment. Electric start is nice but then again...

So this may be beating a dead horse after thousands of questions on this subject but say if one added an actual alternator but not connect it to the axle but to the engine output itself. I was thinking about it and other than the added resistance what if someone ran a TC setup via jackshaft...

Carb #1 was off a snowblower that sat for 3 years without even being glanced at and sat behind a shed through all elements. There was no gas in it, it was covered (mostly) and the rest of it was relatively clean. Kinda self explanatory why it didn't run. (Freebie Cumseh OHSK130) Carb #2 however...

Coming home from PT and managed to snag up these 2 beauties last week as well as a K&N kit for a Durango and rigged MTD tractor. The carb on the MTD was...well... look below and the Craftsman had a blown headgasket. But I got more than a 670 (marginally) for FREE. The tractor had a Vanguard 18hp...

So in the years I've dealt with karts and building/modding them I've never seen anyone take something like the auger from the snowblower and use that to their advantage. Hyrdostatic/friction drive transaxles Ive seen plenty of but wouldn't an auger gearbox be a perfect "differential" for the...

So went on the usual Monday scraprun and found this lil' beauty sitting at the base of the pile. Not in too bad of shape and I've wanted one of these since I was little so good score for me. Though big question is how do I wanna build it? I could just go on ebay, get the parts I need and cruise...

Thought this was kinda different...

So I just got the best score I think I've ever gotten in my 28yrs being on this earth. Found this MINT '93 Dakota for ONLY $50. It also came with 4 sets of wheels (AR AR62, Red Stripe wagon wheels, Steel Baja rims, then the factory cast rims) Got launched off a snowbank at 50mph but according...

So this was a brain baby my brother had the other day when we were working on my dumpster mountain board. It seems very rare you find a CC, unless it's a race clutch, that has some sort of grip media. But there is some logic behind it. If a semi-metallic or hybrid compound is used it should grip...

As some of you know I owned a Auto Body shop that did a bit more than just pretty fenders and spit shine chromies. However, I also build/modify go karts as part of the same business, as wells at motorcycles and trailers. Here's a few pointers of how to make your toys a lil' more streamline...

Ah yes. The Coleman. The trusty stove that's been around since the days of Grizzly Adams and the Quadracycle... However this isn't too far off from a Quadracycle though. I stayed with routine and went in to the local Tractor Supply to harass the counter lady and off in the distance I find this...

So I'm not dead... surprisingly. Long story short I went so far up *bleep* creek that I could cork the hole it flowed from. But finally I'm back and so is this lil' beast. It sat for over 5 months with the gas on so that was fun. (Never knew using a Dremel be so so tedious) Had to bend the roll...

Jay Leno you cruel sonuvabeesh... After binge watching JayEl's (Also a big EF U to modern society) steam section kinda came up with a rough design a shrunken down version of the Advance Steam Traction or maybe even a White Steam car... but in go kart size. The mechanical construction isn't hard...

I've bragged about my vast collection of different 2, 3, 4, and many wheeled toys but I'd thought it'd be fun to call out those who share the glory of owning the 2 wheeled ones. Here's a lil' list of my collection: The following I currently own unless otherwise stated. Each have their own lil'...

I'm still kicking myself in the *** for not finding my knockoff go pro for this but I decided to take my 606 through some trails. If I could describe it in 2 words... OVERLORD DOMINATION! My cousin has about 5 miles of State ATV and Snow trails in his back yard and since my Magnum 325 was down...
