Here is a picture of the needle jet holder, (the big brass part that holds the main jet)

And Stu is practicing to become a carburetor technitian.

lol

actually I just want to know everthing I can about my products top to bottom. I feel to many of my collegues don't bother to learn the products that they sell and what the customer wants. I like most of you want SPEED, did I say SPEED? Because I love TORQUE did I say TORQUE?

so this is what I do I combined my hobby with my living and WOW it is working.

Tweeking the carb is chep power tha can be done on the kitchen table at night while the family sleeps, no expensive tools and if you mess up, buy new jets, it is that simple... in fact if you really screw up, you can buy a new carb pretty cheap so why not?

STU

Just use a good poker face when the wife asks what the gasoline smell is in the kitchen at breakfast. Don't do the deer in the headlights look like those commercials... hah.

Uh oh, that reminds me.

I forgot to tell my wifes grandma to not let the kids in the garage today since my engine is on the floor with tools everywhere! The cams pretty durable when used as a hammer isn't it?

just got through milling my head again, up to .048" total now, nearly into the valve seat. Hope she doesn't blow up! Put a new piston and rings in, that new piston looks a little more flimsy also, not the same manufacturer. hmmmm guess I'll find out soon enough.

wow, after looking at the piston I wonder how this thing even pulls itself, it's tiny

Oh man... kids. I've been chasing mine around all day and they are starting to drive me crazy. Really looking forward to mom coming home in a few so I can say YOUR TURN!

With all these mods going on I'm seriously considering getting a mill.
Either that or I'm seriously going to have to get to know the nearest machine shop... I have no idea where they are.


I'll attach a picture of the number one trouble maker now. Going on 3 years old next month and he LOVES the buggys:

Great pic!

what do you need a mill for?

every wonder what the other 152 registered users are doing? I guess they are thinking, what an idiot, milling your head again? it is just a go-kart.

kell

Yeah, Mitch comes up with a lot of good pics... he's a wild and crazy little guy. Gotta love him, except when he's spreading milk all around the living room like I just found him doing about 6 minutes ago.


The mill... I could use it for all SORTS of stuff... including shaving heads. But I would have a lot of uses for it with my radio control plane addiction too.

Steve,

I am working on a guy who will do the head cheap and we can do a swap...... no worries.... I will let you know, He is sending me one to try it out....


Stu

How much is he shaving off??
