T-man's kart's

[T-man]

red, ya I remember you showing me the video. it was direct tward thunder he subscribed yesterday. red you should do some more vids.
did eather one of you guys try the screen saver.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

unfortunately it only works with PC i have mac it says "cannot be run in OS mode"

oh also remember when you mounted the camera on the front of your cart i think im going to try that out it would be a sweet vid. might have my first cart 2morrow.

 

[T-man]

oh, well I didn't know that. I thought it would work for that also.
Mounting the camera on front is a cool view. But remember I used a sport camera ( designed to handle vibration ). I tested it out by putting it on forwards but that was boring so I turned it around.
Oh ya speaking of that kart, that little 2.5 is turning out to be a pain. I pull and pull and it doesn't want to start. Also when the kids drive it and they release the throdle to fast it dies. I checked everything, I cant adjust the carb ( preset at factory ) and the spark plug gets black fast.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

nah because the file types are in .zip or somehthing but i never downloaded a backround before so i dont know what works. there might be some conversion software somewhere... lol

T-Man, I know this sounds strange but ever since I've moved to laptops from desktops about 6 years ago when I started college I haven't been using screensavers.

I had one screensaver which was basically the Matrix code flowing down the screen but thats the only one I've used this decade. The one you're giving out is a cool gift for Batman fans.

Blaz, the way computers screens are made now-a-days the use for a screen save is useless there realy is no use for them. screen savers were made way back in the day because the photons comming from the emiter would burn the imige into the screen filament at the front of the tube moniter, so your still imige of what was sitting on your computer would still be able to be seen even if the computer was off. LOTS of moniters were distroyed because people would leave the moniter on when it wasn't being used.
Today, with the advancements in technology, material, and softwhare things are differant. With safty turn offs/hybornation and also things operating in the realms of micro volts Screensavers are more of a novilty now.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

i never knew that.

 

[T-man]

I'm quite familiar with this. I'm an 80's kid, heh.

I remember we had a TV that had the slight image of the 2nd Zelda game's score board (The Adventure of Link, the sidescroller of awesomeness) engraved into the screen from us leaving the game on pause for WAY too many hours.

When I was younger we used screensavers all the time on picture tube screens, if you notice all dvd players made in the past half decade have built in programs for this purpose.

Screensavers are a lost art on more than just laptops, my fiancée's desktop monitor goes into sleep mode when idle rather than a screensaver due to no lag time in reviving itself.

yep , My grandpa use to have a lot of burnt out sets. He use to own a radio shack years ago.

Looking good, so you will be working in there after winter i hear

 

[T-man]

possably befor,I hope, I just put up some plastic on the roof. we are supose to get some rain and a little snow tonight and tomorrow. Then some sun for the next few days.
I'm hoping that I will be able to get some paint on it before the weather really starts to get bad, but paint doesn't do so good in cold air. so I dont know what I'm going to do.

Just sort of sifting through random threads here.... Regarding the problem you're having with the HF 2.5 horse engine, try cleaning out the carburetor bowl. My 2.5 does the same thing from time to time. I remove the bowl and the air filter, blow through the intake, wipe out the inside of the bowl, reassemble, and it works perfectly again.

 

[T-man]

oh, well I have don that. I'm thinking that the problem is that watier is getting into the carb some how. I have also noticed that when I remove the plug it is realy black with a lot of build up, It seems that it might be burning to rich.
I plan on taking the whole rearend apart and making it a reverse trike and putting on a 6.5 with a low ratio. it wont be able to fold after that but thats ok.

This is the next video to the build of the shop.
