I LOVE this dude! That was funny,in any language.....

But, seriously, how did it perform? How was the acceleration? Any idea of top speed?

 

[karte_m0lim]

i tested it steep uphill, did not measure with anything so do not know what speed was, but I thin it was about 40 km/h.
downhill was on shutted down engine cause weak breaks wont stop me.

today I bought two hydraulic brakes .

also ordered electric starter so I can completely move rotating starter from my ribs...

as U can see on pict it is very close ...

On a lighter note..... I like your shoes..... I wear mine everywhere.....

 

[karte_m0lim]

I like your shoes..... I wear mine everywhere.....

Great minds think alike...

 

[karte_m0lim]

I am stuck...
Electric starter I got has different tooths than bendix...
New TC cover with kick starter could not fit between seat and engine...

So I have to move motor up and right...

Going to use bigest hammer I can find and smash whole kart to dust...

 

[firemanjim]

Could you maybe move the seat, a little? You say you can't use the cover and kick starter? Is it because you won't have room. To kick it? If so, have you seen my pull start conversion for a kick start? You could do something just as easy or easier.....

 

[karte_m0lim]

I do not have room to put seat and engine with cover with kick starter..

shaft of kick start lever is touching seat..

I can't move seat to left without cutting chassis .. and then have to move steering wheel and pedals as well..

first idea was to stole your idea

so frustrated with wrong electric starter..

Bummer. Can you not source a new starter from somewhere?

 

[karte_m0lim]

yes, i can buy another one but that cost ...

proud and money

I wouldn't worry about your pride. This is how you learn. By the mistakes that you make. There is nothing wrong with that. So many people in the worl today would not even try what you are doing

I would sell the starter that you got to try and pay for the next one you buy

 

[karte_m0lim]

yeah, that is idea ..
I'm a idiot, because I listened guy said, yeah, vxr and fxr type of engine have same type of starter..
I could easily check on internet before order like I checked when part didn't fit ..

this is right one:

and this what I have:

 

[firemanjim]

Don't let this MINOR set back bother you. You have done one helluva job there bud! I dig it! What have your buddies built? O yeah, NOTHING...... You got this , man! You're gonna figure it out, then next week, post up some lame @$$ video of you doing massive burnouts,sliding side to side, cause your tires are spinning so fast..... Just to rub in in our faces.......
Take a deep breath and go out and do something fun and stress relieving. And when you least expect it, the solution will pop up!

No, you're not the idiot, he is! You assumed he knew what he was talking about because he should know; IIWM, I'd be contacting him & saying "this is the wrong starter, you need to supply the correct one"

 

[firemanjim]

No, you're not the idiot, he is! You assumed he knew what he was talking about because he should know; IIWM, I'd be contacting him & saying "this is the wrong starter, you need to supply the correct one"

but I'd be saying a lot more than that.....

 

[karte_m0lim]

Well... Damage is done... Now trying to solve problem...
Will try with sorocket, got one 13 tooth and second is 30...
With some luck, will work if i kick it with leg..

 

[firemanjim]

DUMB question..... Could you put a sprocket on the end of starter. Make something to put one on the part the starter turned. Then put a chain?

 

[karte_m0lim]

Not shure that understand question...
One sprocket is on engine liver shaft , the smaller one and bigger gonna put on back of kart...
