Got the old Am Ex out today and made a good run. It had more but it was pretty fast.

Recently finished this Manco Thunderbird resto. Here it is.

Wanted:Manco Mini Bike Gas Tank? I’m looking for a gas tank for my Bird Engineering mini bike. They are the same plastic ones used on the Manco Thunderbird. Anybody have one they are interested in selling? Here’s a pic of the kind I’m after on my other Bird mini bike. Not sure what a price...

I recently bought a couple 70’s model Thunderbirds. I’d like to find some vintage appearing tires for them. They have 2.50-10’s on right now. Anybody know of any new tires that have a vintage look? Not looking for dirt bike tire tread. Thanks.

Picked up all this for $200 this morning plus a 3 hour round trip. Two old Thunderbirds. Anybody have an idea about what year these are?

My brother was able to buy this Craftsman drill press for only $100. It is brand new. I bought it for $150. Pretty nice deal I think. I bought a harbor freight drill press a few months ago and immediately returned it because it was a hunk of garbage. Pretty happy with this new tool.

Got some new tires for the old Streaker. Found some 13x6.5x6’s. 1.5” wider than the previous slicks. Looks mean. Thanks TSC.

My best friend recently gave me an old John Deere pressure washer with a 7hp Robin Subaru EX21 motor. He said he bought this thing in 2005, used it for two hours then left it sitting in his barn for the past 14 years. He gave it to me because “it doesn’t work”. The throttle and governor arm were...

I’ve been using this HF metal splattering device for a few years now. Thought today I would upgrade. I bought a new Hobart 140. Still need a tank for it.

Anybody know of a place to get a tall motor mount plate for a Predator? Maybe like 2-3” tall?

Here’s a before and after pick of my old Carter build. I paid $100 for it. I have a total of $237 invested in it. Came with a 1978 Briggs with a blown connecting rod. I rebuilt it with parts I already had. The end.

I’m in the process of restoring an old kart. I’ve been sanding and have uncovered an original sticker on the floor pan. Sorry it’s a crappy pic but what kind of kart is this? I’ve seen the sticker before but I can not remember the brand. In the pic you can see the sticker although it’s somewhat...

I was out riding today. I changed my jet from the stock 95 to a 110. Replaced the fuel pump and lines. I had been doing some 180's and was spinning the tires. One of the TC springs flung out and started slicing my seat up as well as my paint. Here's what was left of the spring. Turned into a...

Check out the JB Weld go kart commercial. It's pretty cool. I do this to my neighborhood.

I just bought a nice American Express. It has 5" tires on the back and 4" on the front. I want to put slicks all around, 5" on the front and 6" on the rear. Not sure what sizes to get otherwise. Recently saw where GPS did an Am Ex 2.0 build and I like the tires they used. Any suggestions? I...

I bought this American Express today. It came with a brand new Hemi Predator still in the box. It has a 5hp Briggs on it with a stuck valve per the previous owner. I'll get into it and diagnose it myself. I plan on extending the front end a few inches to give me some leg room. Over all it's in...

My sons Murray HardDrive has a 36 tooth axle sprocket, 10 tooth sprocket on the torque converter and 18" rear tires. It's a small rear sprocket for his kart, it's hard on the belt. What would be a good size axle sprocket for it? I'm not good at the gear ratio calculations. Here's the kart.

Bought an old go kart with this 5hp Briggs flattie on it. Had no compression. Upon opening it up I saw it had thrown the rod. Everything else looks good. The base of the cylinder has a small gouge in it. Is this block any good? Does the piston go down that far during the stroke?

Just found this carb on line for $68 bucks. It's 26mm. Wondering if anybody has any experience with these carbs?? I only read about stock carbs, Mikuni and Tillotsons on here. Here's another pic.
