Practice my skillz on a slow night.

Nobody gets hurt when I drop bottles in the kitchen.

But humanity is hurt when people feel the need to use bandwidth on bottle tossing.

Hopefully Everything is good to go.

Still only one side of the caliper is cooperating.
But I am confident that I will be able to turn the kart into something less painful (like a bush instead of a car), if I need to, now that the steering is OK.

If everything seems to run ok, I will put a new plug in and try to get a plug reading.

So I need to remember to kill it at WOT up hill from my house.

Hey Bob....why don't you invent a new cocktail: the FreeRunner?

One quart of vodka, a pint of nitromethane, and a half gallon of Bull S. served in a bucket of bolts?

Remember to point karts at trees after making changes to the throttle linkage and pedals.

I must have set the linkage and tightened the engine to the mount when it was up on stands. When I started the engine on stands, the wheels were barely moving. When I lowered the back onto the ground, the weight of the (along with the suspension and my linkage) pulled the throttle halfway open.

You just invented it, no inventing needed on my part.

How about the GAB? A jigger of everything in the bar in a dribble glass?

Or the Poboy: last night's half empty beers in a paper cup.

The Chancer: Fruit cocktail in a champagne glass and rum with a twist?

The Gladiator: 8 oz. of isopropal alcohol with 3 cinnamon sticks.

It was funny as heck watching my buggy try to knock down that tree while digging holes in my yard.

After 1 FreeRunner, the Dribble glass is not needed. People manage to dribble on their own. They also begin communicating in a language I can only describe as "SLUR-SIVE"

Where should I point the camera?

Front or Back?

Makes me wish I got into the adult film industry.

[bob58o]

I broke my yard

 

[bob58o]

My tree

 

[bob58o]

Most likely a new High RPM

 

[bob58o]

And then my chain.

 

[bob58o]

Guessing 6500 RPM and 45 mph.

Some people use brakes to help turn.

I use turns to help brake.

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

1. Now it is just the chain (I think I still have enough links for a whole new one probably need a new master link from HomeDepot or Lowes)

2. The Brakes (leaning towards replacing with the same system, but new OR buying that $100 ATV and try to salvage those brakes. Or Maybe a mechanical caliper will be easiest?)
I can try to mess around with this brake system, but I'm so sick of it. I will probably keep it and rebuild for a back up or for a future project.

3. And Fine Tuning the Carb Jetting.

The first two are needed for the last one.

THEN WE CAN LOCK THIS THREAD. THROW AWAY THE KEY. BURY IT, BUILD A HOUSE ON IT. AND THEN BURN IT TO THE GROUND.

You will know I am finished because I will post a video of me doing donuts while holding an American Flag and listening to the Hulk Hogan theme song with a Bald Eagle on my shoulder.

 

[mckutzy]

Yaaaa.... Brakes..... Flashbacks....
The bane of my exsistiance......
We at least while I'm here it has been...
I hope my pain and suffering of recent past, will lead you onto the good path...


And stop...

 

[bob58o]

I'm so excited. Can't wait to get the gauges hooked back up.
The mid range is great.
I'll bet if you give me a mile, I'll give you 7000 RPM and darn near 50 mph
With 16" tires, 7.5:1, and a 30 series

I broke my yard

Looks like it was pretty broken to start with

 

[bob58o]

After visiting 4 stores, I called Ace and said I need a number 41 roller chain connecting link. Not a number 35. Not a number 40. Not an offset link. Not a roller link. A number 41 connecting link! It looks like a bicycle chain.

She asked me what am I using it for ?????? WTF???

I almost hung up the phone right then.

I didn't. And I overpaid ($2.20 each) for all 4 that they had.

 

[ezcome-ezgo]

Advice: Don't call your local hardware store. Just go down there and look. Odds are the people answering the phone don't know what they have anyway.
My first job was in a "Mom and Pop" hardware store, best working experience ever. Learning how things work, what tools can do, browsing the ordering catalog at lunch. But i didn't want to answer the phone, because the callers were usually either unable to describe what they needed, or wanted something ridiculous.

I have a hydraulic brake setup I made myself. Clutch master cylinder and reservoir from Honda Accord 12.99 disc caliper and pads 10.00 at swap meet.

Took three feet of hard line with the clutch master and just need to make a line from it to the caliper and make a bracket for master to pedal.

Should work really well on wife's buggy. Cheaper options out there just sayin.

I really want front brakes too.

http://www.bmikarts.com/Hydraulic-Brake-Caliper-Master-Cylinder-Kit-Front-Rear_p_2855.html

How do I put brake rotors on my front wheels.
Do I attach the caliper to The Spindle?
