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...

This is where i think i want to go... Need to move the "dash" forward a ways.. i tacked that in a long while ago trying to figure out positioning.

Mod... please correct the title...fat thumbs and smart phones dont mix. As.it happens, i scrapped the 4-link suspension... it was creating a lotnof headaches with steering geometry. I originally stayed away from a arms cuz i couldn't find a solution for ball joints... but i worked that out I...

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...

Ok tnx... my car uses 255/60-15 and my truck uses 265/75-18... been a REALLY long time since i had tires that started with a 1. Lol

Sid.. its been like this from day one brand new I always had assumed it had somthing to do with being a California-compliant engine.. my snow blower is the same way. My old 5hp tecumpseh powered blower could run circles around my kohler 6.5hp :( ---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ----------...

Top speed isnt my primary concern right now.. at least not until i can test the stability of my suspension :) I started with a old school hot rod hairpin setup...discovered it wont articulate.... so i went with a friangulated 4 link setup... but that created some real heafaches with...

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?

tnx for the info :)

yeah doing some reading here on the forums.... i'm sure I need to start around 12:1 i'm 360 lbs alone... the kart will problaby be close to 300 itself... the more i say it out loud... it sounds like I should forget about the 212 and look at the 420... ultimately I want to put the 670 twin...

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??

Haven't looked at it at all yet Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

It only has a few hours on it.. and i run it dry at the end of the season... Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Definitely going to need taller tires... these dont look right anyway. Im loving the way its coming together tho!! Final track width is right around 48" wide. I hope thats enough to keep it stable. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

well something is definitely wrong with it. it was hunting/surging under load pretty bad last night, it seemed better if I went to a faster gear and REALLY loaded the engine down,. Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk

Right. I added 12" to the width before i even started. I can add track width easy enough if it proves unstable. I do plan adding a basic roll cage. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I was wondering about a sway bar... i "shouldn't" need one with the geometry of the triangulated 4 link.. i can always adjust the geometry to increase the roll resistance too Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

Im not sure about those springs tho... i may need to.lean them in more to reduce the effective spring rate. I can put most of my.body weight on top of them and they hardly.move. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
