No Bighead, no. I just couldn't see any "fun" in some of the threads content and subject matter. As this is a DIY Go Kart forum...... off topic "fun" I'm sure there are plenty of other sites where these valued opinions should be taken up. As for the Porn..... :lolgoku::lolgoku: knock...

mmmm I have read through most of the posts here...... walked away and came back at least twice...... What I found interesting and a little disturbing was the structure on which this occuring i.e. Folder: DIY Go Kart Forum > Other Stuff > Off topic Fun - Firearms Very little of what I've read...

Hi Nice trailer I'm pretty sure you and your Dad will get that trailer sorted out by the looks of what you have done so far!:thumbsup: I have two suggestions: 1. I'd get some 100x6 mm about 100mm long and put it under the draw bar as a stiffner (on edge) weld a strip of 40x6mm along the top...

Thanks andrew n, and :welcome2: Trial and error over 10 yrs........ if you have a Kirby Tecumseh engine just square up the ports (following the drilled angle of the port) with a square file and dont change the timings anywhere (or you may have to bin it, depending on error), blend the radiuses...

Hi all, Um the sprocket saver might save your sprocket but probably bust your sprocket hub carrier instead (more $).... and the one you might mount underneath aka flat bar etc. I can see that getting bent and tangled up pretty quickly wrecking things (even more$, unless it is heavy enough to be...

OK, Big Villiers????? :)

Careful! I have seen quite alot of pinched rings using that method, well two actually.:worried2: The rope can push the piston ring groove closed. Best to get a proper piston stop which screws in the plug hole and dont over do it on the torque, as you can get a lot of leverage doing damage...

Yeah you are right, :surrender: that one actually had a hair line crack across one in fact. However it ran for 1 season in competition and and about 2 years of messing about afterwards before being stripped down and inspected. When they are running that fine to the limits you do risk chucking a...

on a bit of investigation it could be a "West Bend" engine, see http://www.vintagekart.4t.com/images/scan0002.jpg they look similar? what do you think? close?

Old motor id? Hi Jess, try asking these guy's they might know, they would certainly be interested in your vintage kart and motor! http://www.vintagekart.4t.com/index.html :wai: ;)

Also arc rods take up moisture in the air, pop them in the oven for a while (1/2hr) then they start easier and weld much better! :wai:

:drool5: Cool motor there...(AH817mb)....good to see its inside detail thanks!...Has anyone double carby'd one? I reckon you could reed induct the base on those as well. You can definatly see the common design thread with both the Aussie and American motors:thumbsup::cheers2:

Yeah I had a look at those, seems pretty hot on the $ to me....I still think STD 6" Kart rims fitted with Cessna or Piper PA28 tyres would have to be the cheapest way to go for a fun tyre/rim package....thoughts guys?:cheers2:

Superman warning! Hey guys, gee I recomend you guy's dont mess with these chemicals esp. the Xylene & tolulene:- part of the benzene chain (chemistry) nasty cancer causing stuff. Carby cleaner with methanol works a treat, but even that will send you blind through skin contact:worried2: over...

Hey fallen, I've been looking at this site, ships world wide, seems pretty good value to me. Kart stuff & Deltek type kits and parts, torque converters the works. Check it out mate... http://www.mfgsupply.com/gomini.html

MMMM, Flat out into the hair pin bend on my first Kart track when I was about 9 or 10. Brakes failed and stuck WOT on a wet track worn down to hard stone and no where to go but a big prickly Acacia under a tree (I must have screamed pretty loud the old man came running from about an 1/8 of a...

Thanks mate! I have been having a squizz at their products, still trying to close off on a kart frame and motor deal here. I dont think I will have too many drama's dealing with them; they are into TC's in a big way.. Cheers, John

oui.....I hope they speak Austraaalian mate!;) :cheers2:

Cheers! I'll check'em out

Ok, I am thinking of doing the big International internet purchase thing...I want a new torque converter for 8-15 HP or there abouts. It must be a currently made one with extensive parts available. Wish list: Tough / well engineered (History of easily surviving abuse) Safety features...
