    Go-Kart Steering Very "Heavy" (Hard to Turn)

    Outstanding idea, FA, a very easy and good idea to get the gist of things. I would, however, use a piece of water pipe or similar to be able to wrap fists around it for a more approximate feel.

    3.5 hp TREK trike

    John Kaye got away with saying a lot of things like that. He always wore sunglasses, even at night, because he was legally blind.

    Go-Kart Steering Very "Heavy" (Hard to Turn)

    Everyone has their own ideas about that, as I do myself. I'm willing to trade off having to horse it hard to get around a corner for the benefit of freely straightening back up off the apex (or whatever racers call that) in its place. The typical tight steering of a gokart where only a slight...

    As with your wifey, I'm thinking WTF myself. Del Monte by the case? If that's a good deal, please point me to it. The Publix near my place is where I get everything for myself and for the church, usually focusing on BOGO's. Otherwise, the Publix brand of most things (about 98% of them as good as...

    Broken Valve Stem

    Absolutely correct! They'll just snap a tool over the stem and pull it out, no need to go inside the rim for that. Then they'll push the tire aside, stab a new stem in from the inside, and same tool will pull it into the seated position. They'll seat the beads and blow it up. Dun, done, and duun.

    Need other axle to axle measurements

    Been waiting for an explanation, no dice, so I'll just ask............. where'd the 3D Venom come from, how big is it, and how much to buy one?

    Go-Kart Steering Very "Heavy" (Hard to Turn)

    Your multiple ratios with the transverse levers between the pitman arm and the spindles, the pitman itself, and the spindle arms makes for a complicated bunch of geometric combinations you could play with for a long time trying to come up with something, but it sounds like you've already done...

    Need other axle to axle measurements

    If you make the frame and joinery of the stretch section strong enough, you can make it into a limo if you want to. Stretching it already changes it from a resto job to a resto-mod job. If not going original, make it to fit you and everybody else that might use it. If Daddy and the tee-ball kids...

    I'll attach again the GKS web page with the basic chain sizes chart. The biggest factor you should be concerned with is the pitch, the major factor in different chains. You'll see that #35 chains and sprockets are 3/8", while #40, #41, #420 chains and sprockets are all 1/2". No #35 (3/8") chain...

    I'll try to find that site again that I printed it out from, and post a link for it. Otherwise, I'll just take a pic of it, upload, then attach here. It's a page with 3 sketches, they thought I was the one in the middle.

    N. Cali was the only out of Florida place I ever lived, a year in Sacto, on Folsom Blvd., 5 miles from Folsom prison. In Rancho Cordova area, after when the Golden State Killer had been just the Vidalia Ransacker, and had graduated to being the East Area Rapist. The E.A.R. task force arrested me...

    The ARC flywheel is very well engineered, balanced, and tested. Just always scared me with the specs about less fanblade drag to increase rpm. I live in Florida. We never stop thinking about engine cooling. Or about saving a few bucks to save for our A/C electric bills.

    Decent price from OMB for your PVL flywheel, but check out my performance guy if you really want to get it right. He includes the hi-perf coil and a timing advance key for even less money, $107 including shipping................ PVL Flywheel & Perf. Coil Combo, fits Honda 196cc Clones & Predator...

    If the chain is tensioned up properly to where there's not enough slack (1): when it's turned off to allow it to skip teeth, then clearly (2): something is moving/bending/warping when running to allow that. If it returns to proper tension when turned off again, then that's your clue that it's...

    Compression release cam sticking?

    Worked around some of that at Electro-Motive repair shop out New Kings Rd. on the Northside. Really interesting stuff when you understand electric trackmotors and base generators. Never saw any narrow gauge though.

    Do it right, forget bluetooth. I put in a Blaupunkt full inputs media center with a pair of 4" dual cone marine speakers. Really rocks. Don't know about your ARC flywheel, but mine (on a Predator 212cc hemi) came at 28-degrees with a big rare earth magnet, and I gave it a new coil with the...
