Well, there's not really a fitting category for this, but if anyone here is a wakeboarder you could easily convert a kart into a wakeboard winch (just found out about them today). That way you could use your 5+ HP kart as a puller to let you ride flooded ditches, disgusting little ponds, farm...

(Please save your Tecumseh bashing for another thread) That's a Horizontal 4HP if you aren't familiar with Tecumseh model numbers. It happens to be the same engine I am dinking around with in my mini bike build thread.

I had some time so I decided to test the compression on my little project and I was really pleased by the results! My $10 HF compression gauge read 105 psi on a engine that was probably 40* fahrenheit (that's 4.44* C to our friends outside the USA). I'd say that's pretty impressive for a 23 (or...

Anyone know where I might run my new toy (or just the engine) on a dyno and the approximate cost? Has anyone here ever actually run their motor on a dyno, or does everyone just guess at power levels? Would like to baseline it before I go and do anything. Just for kicks...

I stumbled upon a mini bike on craigslist today; $60 needs throttle hooked up. I was thinking weekend project, I'll fix it this weekend and ride it next weekend. Well when I got out to look at the bike he tells me it doesn't idle but it will run wide open. On top of that when you roll the bike...

Anyone know how these work? I've tried searching the internets and no luck. I'm talking about the 3-5 spd manual (foot shifted) gearboxes that don't even have clutch levers. (Honda ATVs have had this for 15+ years, just found a few Lifans out there with the same.) I'm just kinda thinking about...

Eric here from Minneapolis, MN suburbs. I got my first kart when I was 12; it was a total wreck with a hacked up old recliner as a seat! I spent a couple weeks with my dad fixing it up to make it ridable, and had a blast with it for about 2 summers until I sold it. Well here I am, 29 years...
