Howdy everyone! Been a while since I've been over here, but I thought a few of you might enjoy my latest project. I started it a little over a year ago, with little direction beyond wanting to utilize an assortment of parts I had collected over the years. I had a set of ATV tires, a pair of...

Hey everyone, It has been a long time since I've been over to the DIYGK forum, but I finally have a project worth sharing with everyone over here. As the title says, I'm still at it. Now down to business; ever since I rolled my reverse trike go kart I built a few years ago I have been tossing...

Hello, As I have been working with go karts, mini-bikes, and anything else that uses these small engines I have been looking for the best engines. Within one year of working with these engines the Robin Subaru brand of engines stood out as the absolute best choice for an engine...

Okay, so as the title says I'm looking for a carburetor and I'm not exactly sure which one to get. To help you out here is what I want/have: Throttle cable needs to come out the side, not the top (need be I can figure out the linkages) Must be sized for a 49cc 2 stroke that I (unfortunately)...

Ok, so before I put my newly acquired engine in a buggy frame I want to get it in good condition first.... rebuild time! Here is the basic plan: -Remove from motorcycle (check!) -Disassemble engine -Clean ALL parts -Strip and re-paint engine cases -Rebuild starter motor -Replace all gaskets...

Ok, so I was starting to trouble shoot my motorcycle today and after spraying carb cleaner in the intake I cranked it over. Eventually I got a banging/popping noise from the rear carb. I looked over at the carburetor and saw all this thick fog/vapor in the venturi, and that a small copper tube...

Finally I'm going to get to build a mini buggy! LOL, I have been planning this for quite a while now, hopefully I should be moving into the building stage soon! Engine will be from an 88' Honda NX 250, hopefully I should be getting the whole bike for $300 in a few days :wai...

Hello, About a year ago I got a Ryobi 12" drill press, but the thing has been inconstantly failing me when i need it. Needles to say i took advantage of the warranty and had it sent back to Ryobi for "repairs" (AKA throw this away and send me a new one...). But considering the reviews, and...

Hello, I have a GTC TC2, which is a clone of the comet TAV2, 30 series. unfortunately i do not own a COMET 30 series (of course they are for sale again :mad2:) so i cannot compare between the two. Anyhow, i have noticed my torque converter gets HOT, i sure wouldn't enjoy holding on to it for a...

Hello, I'm in the proses of taking a lawn mower engine apart. all went smooth until i went to remove the side cover. the cover will slide away from the case, down the shaft maybe 1/2", then stop. the shaft was a bit rusty so i gave it a light sanding first. then it still wouldn't budge, so i...

Hello, I'm going to be making a race style go kart frame. my current plan is to use all the parts off my current kart, but i would like more performance (of course!). anyhow, i was poking around on cl looking for an 80 or so cc, four stroke, brand name dirt bike. i found this...

ok, as some of you may know i have a go kart that i want to turn into a racing style kart. now that would be great for the street, but i have some trails that i think would be more fun than the street, that said, i think it may be too expensive to convert the kart to run off road. soooo.... i...

___________________________________________________ I THOUGHT YOU WERE BUILDING A SIDE WINDER!? i was planning on the sidewinder, i still really want to build it, but its just getting more and more expensive (i was also having a lot of trouble locating an engine...), so that project will...

OK, so for those of you who don't know i have recently discovered a big area of land covered with packed dirt roads, little sand pits, and ATV trails! after finding this place the first thing i thought was, i need to ride here! then i realized that my kart would probably not be the kick in the...

i have a ryobi 12" drill press. i have had it for a few months now, no problems, but i started notching tubes with it using a hole saw, this caused the thing to vibrate like crazy, the clamps would vibrate loose, in fact even the light bulb came out. then today, i was notching a tube when the...
