    How are you celebrating Americas 250th birthday?

    Thanks for posting that. His death was (IMO) the turning point in the future of this nation. He was a politician, sure, but he was a war veteran and a patriot who worked for the betterment of the country.

    Got an old project returned to me

    That Wheel Horse "Kart" in the back ground is my 12 year old son's modified Predator 420 powered yard dog and mud mower.

    Got an old project returned to me

    I created this thing about 25 years ago. I used for a few years, clearing trees and brush from my property. I sold it around 2010 to a friend to use in a small junkyard. They left it outside, used it to haul engines, transmissions, tools, body parts... When the last battery died, they used the...

    Look up the word SABOT. I load .224 cal bullets into a plastic sabot and into 30-30 cases. The small bullet travels very fast, sometimes shredding itself in the target. Also, since the bullet in conained in a plastic cup, it never touches the rifling, thus cannot be traced to the rifle that...

    Wazz dis?

    With it disconnected, you should have idle circuit only. No revvum, no cuttum. With a bolt in it's place, should run fine, with backfire if turned off at anything above idle.

    Electric Pit Bike........Need Help.

    12 volt motorcycle batteries come in many different sizes. You might find 3 of them that will fit into that space.

    Engine Advice Needed

    Last time I checked, those two engines were close to the same price. The performance is nowhere close.

    Engine Advice Needed

    Get the 212 and leave the throttle stop screw in the slow setting as it comes out of the box. You cvan adjust the screw for more throttle and totally remove it when they are ready. If an adult wants to ride it, the little 79 cc might not get moving in the grass.

    Budget DIY introduction

    Please explain to me, how a trurbo, which is a restriction in the exhaust system, is going to stop exhaust from flowing back into a cylinder with the exhaust valve open and the piston either not moving or moving down? I assume you are hoping that intake side pressure will push exhaust into the...

    Budget DIY introduction

    Without sealing the combustion chamber and slowing down the crank by applying a load, boost will not build up. Bouncing the exhaust valve at the end of the ehxaust stroke will suck some exhaust into the cylinder because that is the beginning of the intake stroke. It will not blow fire into the...

    Maybe I don't understand, yet, but call me a skeptic. I'm sorry you are not proceding with your idea.

    Better intake springs 3hp B&S flathead?

    Are there any auto parts stores nearby that might have car valve springs in stock? Maybe you could take your springs in and find something that will work for you.

    Better intake springs 3hp B&S flathead?

    @Thepartsguy Help, please chime in! A 10 cibic inch flathead at 15 PSI boost will make FAR too much power to be contained by an automotive alternator or most single V belts. Certainly not a party trick. Definitely dangerous to be screamilg like that around a crowd of people.

    Better intake springs 3hp B&S flathead?

    Please continue your reseacrch on boosted engines without load. A turbocharged engine makes ZERO boost with zero load. I am not new at this.

    Better intake springs 3hp B&S flathead?

    You will never reach 15 PSI without a big load on the crankshaft. NEVER. It will throw a rod before it reaches any measurable pressure in neutral. Cool project, though. Build a custom chassis dyno for it so you can hold it back and build some boost.
