oh yea for sure i know welding galvanized gives off fumes, think it will hold up though?

i went scrapping and i got about 40 ft of galvanized fence post its about 1 1/2 inch diameter, was wondering if it would be strong enough to use as a go kart frame

thanks was worried it would wear right out, whats the best way to increase my compression ratio? deck the head and thinner head gasket?

i have a 5hp flathead but the block has bushings machined for the crank which im skeptical about. how would i put bearings in if thats even possible for this block. just building a mild engine nothing too crazy.

thank you all very much. ill get the test results up tomorrow. is harbor freight rod any good? seems to be the only place i can find 7014 in 1/16th diameter.

i would do it now but its time to go nighty night for me. will 6013 be ok for a go kart though? its not like a serious dune buggy more of a yard kart. hopefully i can get some more welds done tomorrow and ill put up some pics. what makes u guys think its just on the surface? just curious

using 6013 rods, i dont think they make 7018 1/16 inch rods but i could be wrong, i know ive never seen them though. ill probably pick some more rods up tomorrow, someone bought my kart for 250 so i can get steel too.

im out of electrodes again:mad2: i can only use 1/16 or 5/64, the hf 70 amp welder just can't do 3/32. ill be getting the wheels for the kart saturday though, theyre from a suzuki lt250r.

just practice on some flat bar 1/8 inch thick

ok going to try that. still trying to sell my go kart to get enough money to buy metal though.

just need someones opinion on my welds. about to build a kart from scratch and just wanna make sure my welds wont fail. im using a harbor freight 70 amp stick welder.

this is my first post here:wai:. this is the go kart in question. it looks homemade to me but i really have no idea so if someone could help that would be awesome.
