    Should it rotate?

    Picked up a Manco Magnum need a little help

    Picked this kart up the other day but need a little help clearing up some minor (I hope) issues. First the cart has no torque. I know the 6.5 Tecumseh is on the small side for a full suspension kart but really? It won't even spinn the tires a little in dirt. It will get up to speed but it...

    If I do this, will it just make it worse?

    The B&S (136212) on my daughters go kart has the diaphragm on the side of the carb that acts like the fuel pump (for lack of a better explanation). Anyway, it's starting to cut out when you first push the gas and also if you let it idle for more then a few minutes. I pulled the diaphragm out the...

    picking a mig

    Now that I have an idea on a band saw, would like to get opinions on the welders I'm looking at. I would like something that would be good at tackling projects around the garage. Weld the torque boxes and subframe connecters on the Mach. Building gates and the biggest project would be a...

    Idle issue on clone with governor

    I'm having issues getting my clone to idle down low enough to disengage the clutch. I've searched and it seems the problem is caused by the governor. I also confirmed this myself by moving the governor arm back and forth but I'm not sure how to fix it. I can get the engine to idle down just...

    Transferring chain guard to 6.5 clone.

    Ok I must confess, I’m horrible when it comes to figuring out bolt sizes. It’s just something I’ve never needed to learn or maybe it’s because I don’t work with then enough. Anyway, I’m trying to transfer the chain guard from my old Tecumseh engine to my 6.5hp clone and I can’t seem to figure...

    sprocket on most clutches

    Why are sprocket on most clutches doubled? The ones I have and seen in pictures seem to have the sprocket that you attach the chain to and then also one that is right next to the clutch housing…WHY? Might not even be two separate sprockets, it might just be the way the sprocket is made but I...

    Maybe a way to make cheap swing arms/control arms?

    So I was lying in bed the other night trying to come up with ways to add rear suspension to a two seater Murray kart. Not having a bender and not wanting to spend money buying one I had to get a little creative so I started thinking about how the rear suspension is set up on my Mustang. It’s...

    I'm building a red talon with a 5hp B&S engine for my 8 year old daughter. I'm thinking it might need a jack shaft to slow it down until she gets a little older. How hard would it be to add one and could somone point me in the right direction in picking one out that would work on her kart...
