Happy 10 pages of error and confusion everybody

I live close to the lake, work on grass/dirt/gravel (driveway) and have a dug well so I'm very environmentally friendly when it comes to fluids it has nothing to do with gas/oil/grease touching my skin I dont care about that.

 

[Mr_mcrib212]

any oil spills on that type of driveway will definitely sink into the ground and eventually go into that lake, how do you keep the oil from getting everywhere?

 

[mckutzy]

Dude.. he just said he DOESNT allow spillage... because he has a well/ a lake/ ect nearby...

 

[Mr_mcrib212]

i know that but i asked HOW does he keep the oil and gas from getting everywhere cause when i drained the oil from the predator it got everywhere and i was wondering how he keeps it contained

 

[jmaack]

Can someone please explain how the ignore function works? not in the usual place as most vb forums. thanks.
I can't find it to use it.

You don't need to worry about oil spillage. It came out of the ground, so why not just put it back where it came from.

 

[Brianator]

Oh my head...! Lol. I cant avoid all spillage but what little I lose ends up on oil pads (like oil change centers have) on top of cardboard. For small engine oil changes I have a piece of angle iron I use as a trough under he drain plug to direct all oil to the pan, a threaded extension with a cap works well too. I hate spilling fuel though and its darn near impossible sometimes but yet again, cardboard usually comes to the rescue. It's just car/truck oil changes on the dirt driveway, all others happen out back by the workshed which is all grass but I do have a patio stone walkway I usually stay on top of or safety's sake.

 

[Brianator]

There just like so. It fits over the bowl, I let WD40 sit in it for a couple mins and not a drop leaked out so she's good to go! No more spilling fuel when emptying the fuel bowl!

 

[Mr_mcrib212]

So, it turns out, I was dumb and put 3-month-old fuel in the thing and that's why it wasn't starting so now it runs like a champ, I will post a video of it running soon-ish

 

[Brianator]

when in doubt dip the tip a screwdriver in the fuel and quickly try to light it!

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

I use my finger. Finding a screwdriver takes to long.

Click on Quick Links at the top right of page, then click on Control Panel. The next page that comes up will have the ignore options on the left side of the page

where could I ride this go-kart, cops here in California aren't that strict, my neighbors have a go-kart and they ride it up and down the street, all the time or I could try a church parking lot, the people there probably won't mind.

I read a thread from 2008 and I don't know if these rules still apply.

 

[mckutzy]

You need to call up your local authorities and ask them for the regs...

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Join the me too generation.
Go ride and if anyone stops you just tell them other people do it so you can too.

 

[Mr_mcrib212]

Anyone who tries to stop me will probably just start laughing because this thing is so ridiculous

or just give me a ticket or impound my go-kart

 

[Solomonster212]

Do you have any pictures of how this thing is coming along? Big talk and small results.

 

[Mr_mcrib212]

sorry I haven't been able to post any pictures or videos lately, for some reason, the video of the engine running won't upload, I'll see if I can post it to youtube and put the link here, I'll try again or make a shorter video.

You cannot upload videos to the forum. You have to use Youtube and post link here
