I'm building a go-kart with BALLS ! ! !

Meaningful discussion outside of the potato gun realm. Projects, theories, current events.

Would you like to jump in this and take it for a ride ?

Go to my home page link and click on photo's. This had a 5 hp Briggs + Stratton on it, now it has a 225 cc 4 stroke motorcycle engine on it. Check out the mudders on the rear end. Time to terrorize the pastures !!!

4 strokes are heaps better than 2 strokes because the are quiter easier to get repaired you dont have to mix fuels

2 strokes are fickel ! One day they will run the next day they won't. I won't even work on them for people anymore. Got tired of people complaining about them not starting or running rite. What realy bugs me is when some guy says "i know what i'm doing", and then says "all 2 strokes will run on 32:1 gas mix". I allways think to my self "well then why does it need fixed". Sometimes i forget my manners and say it to the customer, they give me a funny look, i allways say "no pun intended".
