I haven't completed them yet... notice I'm still learning? I expect them to hit that high, and you can't deny that I don't have a good chance of it.

There was a reason I didn't place the side covers on.

Put it this way: No one in my family knows about mechanics. I had to start from scratch... Unlike most of yall.

So gimmie a break... Notice how all my projects are "still in progress"? Not done and never coming back? Sheesh...
Thanks


Now have you or not ever had any of these motors on a kart or have you ever drove a kart.if you have ok than i will listen to what you are saying but if not dont give false info alot of people on here and other sights post things they just read and have no idea .
i know i dont know as much as russ or kibble or even jerry.but i do have a mini bike and 5 go karts and have drove all of them but one.and have work on them all and never until this year ever done any thing like this with karts.
oscary you seem like a good kid i like to read the things you say but if you haven't had the experience on a kart watch what you say because a lot of people will jump on what you say because you seem like a real smart kid.
now if im wrong on all of this sorry just tired getting ready for bed here soon

I've noticed *cough*Tyler*cough*. Anywho, no hard feelings. I'm the serious type of guy, inside out. I don't say stuff if I don't have it.

Pictures are a thousand words...

All my "projects". Notice no side covers are on?


The GX110 3.5HP, the engine that originally came with the kart. Notice I've started to modify it (billet rod?)


The kart, cover removed... (Notice how I didn't lie about slicks?)


Notice how the brake isn't hooked up. Waiting for a longer throttle cable to come in.

Notice the engines and kart in the same picture? :)


The Corvette cover:



"CORVETTE"?

My "lab":



Original tires included with the kart:






Convinced? :smartass:

Uh oh haha! Think about it though:

I didn't have anything you saw in the picture (except go kart and frame), including the house, 6 months ago.

Harbor Freight is really a space filler :D

Cool. I have a question, though: where are you getting the cash for this stuff!? Just wondering.

At times trashpicking, working, ect...

Chores are a "have to do", allowance is no such thing in our household. And pretty much everything I have is used or came with the house (lawnmowers, a few other things, ect)

I can't wait to get a genuine job though... Not sure where to start. Computers? Most likely.

It works great! Just a tip though, don't step in it, even if it "seem's" dry.

Take it from the guy who found out the hard way

Gaskets and rings... no, sorry man :(

Even if I did, mom would make a huge fuss over shipping it...

There was a guy on 2/3HP rings (10) on eBay for $20... might wanna check there once in a while.
