You need a 40 series torque converter for that engine
I already have on in my shopping cart. Just holding off until I get the engine out of the box and inspected.
Your front tires look fine as tread is concerned. Even if they are dry cracked,
Yeah, that's kind of what I figure. My take is, if I can get a couple years out of them while I get the rest of the kart in order, and figure out the long term plans, I won't feel too bad in a couple of years spending a little more on a set of square knobbies. I only paid $30 for the set of 4, so I'm pretty happy with the deal, and where they're at.
I think I've got a solution for the hubs figured out that only needs minor milling work. First steps right now are going to be getting the brakes back in working order, finish the steering, and get it back on the ground. Then figure out the engine. Once it's drivable, I'll pick up the hubs I need to get this set of wheels on.
BUT PUT one on the steering wheel or in very close proximity to the driver
Really solid advice. I know there's a switch on the dash I can use, but something closer to natural hand position is more than just a good idea. I'll get something figured out there.
Should have some actual progress updates on it soon.
