Another Junk Build

[Poboy kartman]

Do you want to save $8 while wasting $12...(or more?)

Just get some Lincoln or Miller...and be done with it...

Not to mention what you might booger up with it...don't PAFR....

 

[pRoFiT]

Well the next buy maybe. I needed now. And hf is close. I just ran out of my first roll so another splatter. Wire. Plus the past you have me said hf okay but splatter. I can deal now with splatter.

 

[chancer]

Junk Builder for sure! No offense just rollin with this thread.
I gotta like a guy that will "deal with it" to save 2 bucks!

 

[Poboy kartman]

PAFR for SURE!

Do you think we say this stuff for NO reason?

How much further could it be to a HD, Lowe's, Tractor Supply, or Northern Tool?

EDIT: The FR way to save money: buy the wrong crap twice!

 

[mckutzy]

The PAFR is strong with this one.....

Get on board with this thread Doug!
Have you been reading it? He is a low budget junk builder.
Like you this is a showing of what can be done but also what not to do.
He has openly admitted it, so I guess that makes it OK.
Besides I want to see how bad this wire really is.

I don't have to....I KNOW!

Hope he stocked up on some more 10" wheels while he was there.....

okay i didn't want to start a new thread yet. or add to my build log.

picked up a leaf blower engine today. i think ~25cc or similar. no exhaust pipe and i dont have the fuel mix to test with. but i cleaned it a little and sprayed carb cleaner into the intake and it fired up. so i think it will run once i have the gas mix. i took pics but my phone is dead. i hate my phone.

Question is, can i do anything with it that is fun and ride-able?

i have a couple things: 2 wheel razor, a cool 3 wheel razor with bike tire in front, maybe some roller blades , couple skate boards? barbie jeep? Bike?

will this push a 200lbs guy like me around? or sustain motion if i push first?

Waste of time?

second 2016 build off project

You can put it on a bicycle and have a friction drive setup. I did it with a weedwacker myself. You have to pedal to get going, but after that you can use the throttle.

hmm. possibility.

saw someone made a gas powered blender! Maybe non riding engine could be a possibility too. wanted something to ride though. i could build onto my bike. i don't ride it anymore anyways.

thinking micro bike with HF wheels. Make my daughter ride it.

 

[pRoFiT]

Here is the POS leaf blower i found.

i think label says ECHO.

maybe i just put it on my back and walk around with this super loud engine running. I mean it's music isn't it!

possible to use it to force air into my predator engine? supercharger/turbo effect?

 

[OzFab]

Possible, yes; effective, no so much...

 

[chancer]

Please do not even go there I am having "FR15" flashbacks.

 

[pRoFiT]

Come on Chancer why not. Since FR is gone someone needs to pull up the slack and say\do stupid things.

okay found the part number and model PB-46HT echo. has a 44cc engine! much bigger then i thought. So i can now PAFR and put it on my trike! has small bike tire in front that i can just connect motor shaft directly on the tire like they do on the bicycle mods. should be enough to keep me rollin?

this is something to do while i wait for extra funds to be available for my kart to finish.

ha found cool image. this is what i have minus electric motor. going to put gas in same location as this? sound good?

 

[pRoFiT]

well i ripped that blower apart and got out the essentials. Started a quick mounting system for my trike. Mounted engine. need to go back and open up the bracket mount location a little so i can get the engine closer. Then i will add some tightening mech to hold it against the wheel.

All i need to really come up with is the throttle control. i have the cable that was on it. so maybe i can steal a brake handle from another bike or something and make it work. i also ductaped the gas tank to the bike, need to create a mount that i can screw in place. should fit perfect no need for a new tank design.

well i cant get back to it for a week. im traveling to Austin right now. hanging out in phoenix airport for next flight.

mmm... long island will get me through this trip.

 

[chancer]

Hey he is in the Mile High posters club now!
Looks like first class to me.

 

[OzFab]

So, why is there a build taking place in the intro section?

All relevant posts moved to new thread...

 

[pRoFiT]

lol i was at airport restaurant.

man did i have a sucky day.
Flight was booked full. they got me on last minute. but my luggage didn't make the trip. It's still at home airport

i gots no clothes! i guess thats normal in texas but i like to wear clothes. Then stupid google maps navigation sends me to 3 places that are not malls! and i end up at ROSS dress for less. picked up pantalones and chonies. should get me through a couple days while my baggage catches up with my trip.

crappy thing is the airline website says my baggage was put on my flight? now i cant get a hold of anyone at airport!!!!!#%#@%@$%$#%

could be worse. guy in line lost his guitar. said it's my 50th bday and you idiots loose my guitar!!! i could see he was about to kill someone! i tried not to give eye contact. he said it had several famous guitarist signatures on it! that really sucks. i guess my day could be worse.

Fabroman, yah i was going to create new thread. thought i would post and see what people thought first. So what about the begining of this thread did it stay with newcomers area? ill go check
