Popped in my random Youtube feed. Very interesting information on car itself but also the current state and future of Briggs' engines. Long watch but surely many of us are or will being have extra time on hands, so thought I'd share. Don't really care for Jay Leno though, he has to be...

Couple of weeks ago I traveled to Lubbock, TX to visit a family member in the hospital. It was my first time up there, so we took a day to do some sightseeing. One of attractions is the American Windmill Museum. It was very interesting to say the least. There was hundreds of different kinds...

I always take pics of the projects I'm working on, cause it's hard to remember so many things :sifone: So I might as well share them, and hopefully they will help somebody down the road. This is a buggy I was asked to and did repair for an in-law relative. He bought and "didn't know where or...

Anybody know of a kit that has a 3/4" Driver and 3/4" Driven? All the 30 series 3/4" bore driver kits I've come across come with 5/8" bore driven. My kart has a 3/4" jackshaft that I would like to continue to use. I've seen the 3/4" driven units sold by themselves, but looking for a cheap...

Got old balls that don’t work anymore? Maybe they are (c)rusty or you haven’t used em in while and are stuck? Or your wife got upset at how much time you spend on your karts and bikes and put them in her purse. Well I found a good deal on common 1-3/8”OD x 5/8”ID go kart/minibike ball...

Got the Tail Gator generator from Harbor Freight last week. With coupon, came out to like $96. Used it this past weekend for the back of the property with no power for a small TV, string of lights and radio for a party. It worked fine. Got about 6 hours run time to one gallon of gas out of...

Ever wonder what happened the minibike on Dumb & Dumber? It's selling for serious coin right now. $35K as of now. https://m.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-DUMB-AND-DUMBER-MINI-BIKE-Moped-Scooter-Jim-Carrey-Jeff-Daniels/282840775774?_mwBanner

I want to document and share my latest project with y’all. Got this little classic about a month ago. Bought as “non-running, needs carb cleaned” The seller said he recently got it from an old man who said it had been sitting in the barn for many years after his grandson stopped using it...

Picked this bike up a couple of months ago. It is a Bird or Phoenix Engineering Thunderbird, can't tell on the tag, but basically it's the same company. Also still can't figure out the date code, probably early to mid 80's. I decided to do a light refurb to it. The bike was a runner when I...

Picked this up a few days ago. This is my mini bike #3 :wai:. The lady who sold it to me didn’t give any details and well I didn’t ask after getting it for half the asking price. I did some research and found out it is a Murray Track 2 Mini Bike. Made in the USA :thumbsup: , frame feels...

Picked up this bike a few weeks ago. Seller said he didn’t use it much and it was bought used as a gift to him. The owner before him had obviously done some tinkering with it. Started first kick and overall cosmetic shape was really good and only had less than 500 miles on it…so I bought it...

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/252899520761 Whoever lives in Michigan, this is an absolutely great deal!

I've been on the lookout for a mini bike for some time now. They are not nearly as available as go karts in this area. The ones that are for sale are usually at least $200, even seen some one recently for $700! I wanted more of project, project=cheap. Last week I got burned by two sellers...

I had been searching locally for a mini bike, mainly a Baja Warrior, and I came across this for $50. The pictures were not very clear and of just parts and pieces. The ad said “parts only, are worth money on ebay”. I do buy and sell items on ebay, so I figured it should be worth it...

So, last week I got this engine in a pile of parts that came with 2 kart frames I got for $50. http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=34938&page=2 I decided this will be my first engine rebuild. I only got into go karts 4 months ago, so my knowledge is limited, I will need some advice...

I enjoyed rebuilding my 1st ever go kart so much, I went out and brought another one last night. I guess like most of you guys on here, I got bite by the kart bug. My 1st kart I just finished rebuilding is/was for my 9 year old daughter. She loves it as much as I do. It is kind of aggressive...

Got this kart about 10 days ago. This is my first Go Kart so any and all advice and suggestions will be appreciated. This is what I know (or think) about my Kart: Carter Bros, 3/4" Live Axle, 5hp Briggs engine, has torque converter and band brake. I want to restore/reuse as many parts as I...

Hello, about 10 days ago I purchased a Go Kart for $50. I never had a Go Kart when I was a kid and always wanted one. I have a daughter who is about to turn 9 years old in November, so I thought I could rebuild this Cart for her (and me) birthday. I know nothing about Go Karts, but I have...
