I'm stumped so far - my house is wired with Cat5 leads in several rooms. On one end is a wallplate with two sockets that are the same size as telephone connections. The leads run to the basement where the cables are just rolled up - meaning they don't run to a junction block or anything...

Help! I can't find a source for fine thread 3/4" axle nuts (for 1" axle). I bought some parts from MFG Supply Company, inlcuding a couple of nylock axle nuts but they're coarse thread. They list them as 3/4 by 10 on the website. I checked and they don't seem to offer them in fine thread. I...

I just bought a new Powerhorse 208cc motor. It was damaged in shipping, originally sold through northern tool, returned, and ultimately sold through a discounter on ebay. The air cleaner housing was cracked and I got a pretty fair discount so I'm pleased with the purchase. I see no mixture...

I'm re-using wheels and tires from another project and I've run into an obstacle (only because I'm not very familiar - I bet the answer will be pretty simple for some of you). I'm runing 8" steel wheels that I believe are from a toro mower, but I'm not sure. They're 5-lug design, probably 6...

My dad built this buggy about 10 years ago, but he has no use for it now. There are a few reasons I can't use it in it's current configuration - too heavy, not clutched right, and the steering isn't effective. More importantly, I can't ride it in the street at the house so I want to...

Sold the Suzuki 50 (kids outgrew it) and we're looking for a kart, either complete or a project. I've had very little luck on craigslist in my area (overpriced junk, or posters who don't return email or phone messages!). I'm thinking about just building from scratch, but the cost will...

Glad to have found the site and this forum. I participate in a few relating to other interests so I know how valuable the site and forum will be in our go kart projects. I'm a hack mechanic / fabricator at best. We always had a minibike, go karts, or motorcycles growing up and my best...
