Ahhhh....she knows more than she lets on....(it's not the easiest thing to drill a small bolt if you haven't done it before.)

Haha yeah i know more then most girls would know. I know what i'm doing just need advice every now and then Today took apart a whole Briggs and Stratton Carburetor but engine still won't run it's missing a spring for the throttle plate to move and needs a new choke lever. Trying to get that motor going for a Tiller i bought my grandpa.

Girls shouldn't talk like that!!!!

 

[Duckie92]

Lol. I don't think i've seen a girl on these go kart forums yet other then me.

 

[Poboy kartman]

No...Mindymogul comes around here and Chatzy occasionally....but she's almost as crazy as me....and a certified gearhead.

 

[Duckie92]

Oh nice to know there's a few other girls here as well

I don't know about a FEW.... but there's at least two more than will give me the time of day in real life!!!!! I've given up on girls....but I can't even get OLD WOMEN. nowadays! !!! (Getting old sucks!!!)

I used to be a stud....now I'm just a dud....iffin I had some money....I might could get a honey....but before we had a ball...she'd just take it all!!! I'm going to be the first guy to go over Viagra Fails in a barrel!

Lol poor u but anyways back on topic.. I could just get the 4 bolt hub off and put the tires on the axle like that?

 

[Hellion]

Could i take off the 4 bolt tire mount and put on the tire just like that? Or would i need to put something behind the tire?

Not sure what you're asking, but if the rear axle is keyed for a similarly keyed live axle wheel you could use that instead of the 4-bolt hub but you'd need a spacer to prevent the wheel from sliding inboard... I think.

 

[Poboy kartman]

Unfortunately....(I could be wrong) ...but this is the way I see it.....(from what I think I see) your axle bearing is outside of your carrier...it looks like it's seen better days, and if parts of your axle are rusted up enough that you can't disassemble it....probably a good indication that you SHOULD!

SO...I Really think you should do as previously advised and completely disassemble and inspect the whole axle assembly.

 

[Duckie92]

Well i got a few things dissassembled today.. Having a hard time getting the bearing off though.

WD-40 SPECIALIST Penetrating Oil is your friend!

 

[Duckie92]

Alright. Thanks Is that better then regular WD-40?

 

[Poboy kartman]

Yes...WD-40 is NOT a penetrating oil....it's Water Displaying oil...and not very good for breaking loose rusted parts.

 

[Hellion]

Don't use WD-40; it sucks but has gained an undeserved 'household name' reputation as a do-it-all snake oil concoction. Get PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench, both aerosol. The Liquid Wrench I use, when used with the little red straw attachment, foams when you use it so it stays in place. Maybe they all do...

P.S., They don't work immediately all the time. They take time and repeated applications sometimes but they usually save you from destroying the nut, bolt, etc.

 

[Duckie92]

Okay thanks

I used to say the same thing until I tried WD-40 Specialist Penetrating Oil....it's better than PB or Liquid Wrench. It's a totally different product that only shares the WD-40 brand. WD-40 also now makes a dry lube in the Specialist line....I haven't tryed it yet...but I'm thinking it be good for chains.

 

[Hellion]

Well, dang. I only use what's tried and true, not some newfangled fancy pants product.

But if'n the Poboy sez it's better, can't say fightin's of any use... but let's try anyway. I brought a frying pan, what did you bring?

of course. Well...I suggest you try the WD-40 SPO...I've used all 3...and I like it best.

Oh...and Duckie....Mindy was the other girl....Chatzy is a chat room some of us go to occasionally.

 

[Duckie92]

Oh okay. I gotta hunt these other girls down haha. I will definatly use that WD-40 you suggested. So what i thought was a bent axel wasnt. Was just an illusion lol. Everything else looks fine but still going to try and get the bearsing off and sprocket.
