Working on my mom's 4 stroke mini tiller with a walbro wyl-161 carb. It didnt want to run at all.. discovered fuel lines rotted right off.. replaced them and the intake filter.. pulled carb apart flushed with lots of cleaner..re assembled... primer bulb has a small hole in it... it will draw...

Im building a kart designed to accommodate my 'fluffy' stature... (im 6ft / 360 lbs) ive got the base frame close to finished with 1/8" wall 1" sq tubing... can i build the stiffening structure out of somthing lighter with a thinner wall to save weight? Like a 1/16 wall? Without sacrificing...

not really kart related... but I have a briggs on a craftsman roto tiller.. that never seems to have the power it should when it encounters a heavy load.... is it possible to tweak the govenor/carb to squeeze a bit more power out of it?

i'm trying to figure out where I want to start out with my gearing.. looking at starting with a predator 212 for now (Cheap) will likely upgrade to a 420 eventually.. planning on 16x8 rear tires. watched some videos on youtube of a couple guys getting 45mph out of a mod'd 212 in a lightweight...

i've read the gx200 flywheel can be made to fit the 212 with some machine work.. can anyone specify exactly what that machine work is? (interested in giving a predator 212 charging capabiltiy)

I'm looking at using some 145/70-6 tires from the local farm and home for my front tires.. tire calc says they are about 5.7" wide.. will it be ok to fit them onto a 4.5" wide wheel??

the engine in my newish cub cadet snow thrower seems really under powered.. it wants to bog down when I get into heavy snow.. my old craftsman snow thrower that was 20 years old with a 5hp tecumpseh was pretty much unstoppable.. not sure if it had been modified for not. .I do recall my dad had...

generally speaking, why don't karts have front brakes? even the 'fast' indoor racing karts at the local place don't have them.. is it just a cost/complexity thing? or is it more involved with the fact that karts tend to be very a$$ heavy and front brakes wouldn't be a helluva lot of use? i...

How about a go kart with radius arms? :) Just finished up one of the arms. Gotta build the other, figure out a pan hard bar, then figure out where the shocks are going to go.... lots of work ahead yet. I used hardware store threaded eyelets for this stage of the mock up at $1.49 ea they are...

I'm not a huge fan of having to straddle the uprights that support the steering column.... so I'm working on a 'hoop' design.. are there pros/cons to this? the 'hoop' in these pics is just tacked together from scrap pieces.. I was trying to visualize dimensions and such. i attached a .jpg of...

working on my first kart... working off basic plans found on the internet.. but adding a few of my own twists to the design. I've already stretched the frame by 12" in both directions to accommodate my 'fluffy' nature :) I'm working on the details to put some basic front suspension on it. (I...
