This ad has been floating around on my CL page teasing me for the last few days. http://ventura.craigslist.org/mcy/4293519557.html Any one have any idea how much I should offer? Obviously it has a lot of work to be done to be restored, but is it worth it? Are parts expensive? From the ad...

I used an oxy/acetylene torch for the first time today. We cut 1/4" steel plates with it. We were making tables to sharpen tools on. We were going to weld but ran out of time. WHat are your experiences with the torch? I thought it was a pretty sweet rig. :cheers2:

Calling all Australians on here. We watched a film at school about cane toads ove the past couple days and they seem pretty crazy. I knew they were a problem over there, but just the specs of their introduction and take over amazed me. You guys have any opinions? I heard hitting them with the...

I finished up my first kart around labor day and it was a blast. It works well, but now I am running inot some issues. I also have some things I would like to improve just because :D. Things I am going to do: - Fix chain/tighten it up so It doesn't come off - Kill switch mount - Get the rear...

Is there anyway to adjust the ackerman beside cuting off and re-welding the arms? I do not have access to the tools neccessary to do that right now. Could just bending them work? I know I would have to shorten my tierods. I'm going to get better quality tires and I don't want to wear those out...

My neighbor who I have been working with for baseball field maintenance has a non-running EZ-GO golf cart that he is willing to give me for free. He says it needs a voltage regulator (the one on the cart was totally corroded) which he said was like a 500 dollar part. I looked online and found...

As some of you may know, I recently purchased a Goped gas scooter from a friend for $75. I have run into some reacurring problems with it though. The scooter lasted a few good rides and one long one, about 2.5miles round trip up and down hills. After the long ride the gas tank leaked really...

after hearing from everyone how good bicycle cables are for go karts, I went to sears and bought some. I am having trouble securing the cables to the pedals, the engine throttle arm, and the brake caliper. The only way I can think involves cutting the knobs off the ends of the cables to fit...

So I did a quick search on the forum to look up homeade gaskets after people have mentioned them in some posts. The gasket between my airfilter "housing" and my carb ripped while I was putting it back on :oops:. I have read up on cereal box gaskets and everyone recommends them. Is there a...

So, I have been apart of this forum and posting for about six months now, and I have realized that the members on this site are very knowlegable on this kind of stuff. Some have overall knowledge and some have their specific fields where they are total experts. I was thinking today, "I wonder...

I was just skimming Youtube and came upon this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkpv2wfNSh8 I think its really interesting how it works with literally no other parts connected to the engine except that air hose. Does anyone have any experience with a compressed air engine? This setup seems...

I was perusing my local craigslist and found this. Thought it was interesting and wondering if anyone else has done it/heard of this conversion. http://ventura.craigslist.org/mcy/2908289408.html I'm not interested in buying it, just showing it off i guess :cheers2:

Hi I'm new to the site because I recently got a go kart frame and wanted some advice. I purchased a frame off of craigslist that incluses steering and a seat. It didn't come with a rear axle or anything else. I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice about the drivetrain and maybe...
