    Rolling on 40s

    Disclaimer: please don’t attempt this Hey guys, its been a long time since I’ve worked on my kart. I’ve been paying more attention to my pickup, my semi, my sled and my bike the past year or so. However, it was looking lonely so I decided to do a little something fun and very sketchy with my...

    Kill switch wiring

    So I bought some cheap toggle switches for my kart that have a little LED bulb in the switch that lights up when you flip the switch on. They look really slick and work great with my wiring from my battery to my headlights and tail light. However, I am currently working on wiring up my kill...

    My finished kart

    So I started this kart about a year and a half ago. I entered it in the 2017 build off, but didn’t get it finished. I built the whole kart from scratch. My original plan was to put a Honda dirt bike engine on it, but after I rebuilt the motor, I was made an offer I couldn’t refuse on the...

    Solenoid pulse controller

    So my snowmobile is a polaris 600 with an aftermarket turbo. Because the engine is a two stroke, you have to have a separate oiling system for the turbo since there is no engine oil in the crankcase. The turbo is a Garrett GT2860RS I believe. It is a ball bearing turbo so it does not need highly...

    Smoke

    Just wondering if anybody else has any wildfires in their area at the moment? The last couple days, my area has had a ridiculous amount of smoke from a couple fires near us, one of which is just a few miles from my house and around 10,000 acres I think. Last time I read, we had upgraded from...

    Steal of a Deal

    So a guy who I go to school with rides dirt bikes, and tends to trash them. He had a 1997 Honda CR80 (two stroke) that the bearings went out and caught the ring on a port, or something. Anyway, the engine needs a top to bottom rebuild. No front brake lever, 2 plastics missing, and not in the...

    Just thought I'd share

    So my retired neighbor lived down in AZ for the last 4 months to get away from Montana winter. :D I think he was in the Phoenix area, Sun city IIRC. When he was down there, he sold his old Polaris rzr 4 seater and bought this 2015 2 seater 1000cc. It has under 1000 miles and the guy he bought it...

    2017 - Shifter Kart - DNF

    Ok guys, here we go. The plan is to build a one seater kart from scratch. This kart will see gravel road, dirt, and a little pavement. I will fabricate pretty much the whole thing. I don't have an engine for it yet, but it will be a dirt bike or four wheeler engine anywhere from 80 to 250cc...

    Metal lathe

    After comprehensively reading through fabromans AusEx thread from 2013, I decided that I really need to have a metal lathe at some point. I did some researching and it looks like decent lathes are pretty dang expensive. I looked at some of the 7x12" mini lathes, but it sounds like they can't...

    Bushings?

    Ok, so I got these front rims and tires for free off of an old John Deere lawn tractor. The tires are 16x6.50-8, but they are pretty much shot. I took them off the spindles and found that they had regular bushings in them, which I expected. I planned on removing them and putting bearings in if...

It's a 2004 dodge half ton, 4x4 SLT. its in pretty good condition, and the topper is nice. I'm glad that it is a 4 door so I have some more room in the cab. Should be...

    Fish Bonker

    https://spokane.craigslist.org/spo/5843076079.html I was thinking about buying one of these. Has anybody ever bonked a couple hundred pound black bear with this? I would love some input from someone who has used one of these before. Made in Canada w/Tag New/Unused, no cracks or marks...

    Superjet engine idea

    So I'm just getting into the go kart world, but for the last few years my hobby has been stand up jet skis. We live on a river and have two Yamaha Superjets, a 650 and a 701. (I don't know if any of you have ever ridden one, but they are a ton of fun because the 2 stroke makes them super light...

    Could use some advice

    Ok so this is my first kart build that I have ever done. I am aware that I should probably start on a project that would be easier but I think that I could do this. Obviously drawing it up is quite easier than building it, but I drew up what I thought would be good. My plan is to build a shifter...

    Welding sprocket hub into rim

    Ok, so I am working on a plan to make a shifter kart with a Honda CR80 engine. I got some nice 16x6.50-8 Tires and rims(for the rear wheels), but the hubs are really wierd. They are 3 hole with a 3 1/2" bolt circle, but the bore is not keyed and is smaller than my planned 1" shaft (live axle)...
