So just to pass time the other night, we decided to make an intake manifold and adapt the 6 HP carb off of my retired mower. Mower was a John Deere JX85 that ran pretty good but the rest of the mower was trashed. I replaced it with a brand new electric start Lawn boy :thumbsup: Anyways...

So, to make a long story short. My family lives in Albuquerque NM which is also where the Unser family lives. Back in the 70's or so my mother used to hang out at go kart races and knew some of the racers. Some lived in her neighborhood. FF to recently, She's moved back to her old neighborhood...

So to make a long story short, my 390 started making some racket after a few hours of use. I found a small chewed up piece of metal floating in the crank case. I'm assuming it's a piece of the governor that I accidentally dropped when I removed it. Needless to say, I did find some internal...

I know i'm a fairly new guy but i hope this is kosher.. My wife entered this contest and is one of 10 finalists with a chance to win $25K. All I'm asking is for you guys to vote for her story as much as possible on Facebook for the next week. Just once a day please or your vote gets voided...

Project: Stretched Emmick Yesterday was abnormally warm so my oldest son and I decided that it would be a good day to finally get our kart ready for the GX390. (for those that saw my other thread, this mockup engine is the old 340, I picked up a 390 last week for cheap, the 340 was handy...

I've got a few of these engines on various things at work, all have GX390 on the starter but i happened to notice one of the blocks has GX340 cast into the side. I didn't have time to check the others, and mine here at home is in-accessible. just curious, is this normal? Thanks

My neighbor has a mid 80's Suzuki 125 quad that's in pieces. I've let him know that i may be interested in it for the engine. Question is, anyone know the HP of the engine and info on the gear ratios in the trans? I know it's a 4 cycle. Thinking about replacing the flathead on my cart with...

My kart was a little loud with the standard "header" pipe and I think the neighbors were getting upset... So, my answer was a whole mandrel bent system built from scrap 1 5/8" header tubing from my Camaro project. Started off with a 1/4" flange, welded some 1" tubing to that, then stepped it...

Getting ready to rebuild my Raptor 3, just curious if anyone knew the ring gap specs off hand. I dropped one of the old rings in and the gap was .120.. that's a bit much and may explain why it smoked like crazy. :ack2: Thanks

Hey all, finally joined up after surfing for a while. Been into go karts/minibikes since the early 90's, 4 or 5 serious karts under my belt and a hand full of mini bikes along with a few other random projects. Did some racing about 15 yrs ago, won a few, lost a few and eventually moved onto...

Hey guys, just joined and thought i'd post up my latest of many projects. (background) Raced go karts in the 90's as a teenager, built several over the years as well as a few mini bikes. My 13 yr old son wanted a project so I saved this old mini bike from the scrap pile. Gave the owner $40...
