    Was anybody able to identify the buggy? I didn’t have luck. Single seat buggy with swing arm and engine cage… Kinda looked like yerfdog, Spider 150, …. But I didn’t find the actual buggy. so many of these things…

    I tried using an app that attempts to identity breeds based on photos. I only had the one photo of Duke, but the app placed more Rattie on him then on my guy.

    Predator 212 with mikuni style carb

    I think last time I tuned a 24mm OKO carb… 212cc, NR-285 cam, 28.5mm intake valve,… 500-600 feet altitutude “ jets are 35 Idle, 108 main, Needle raised one clip position from stock middle position, power jet capped off” Might not have been fully tuned, but seemed to start and ride fairly well...

    Predator 212 with mikuni style carb

    The ones I use don’t have an adjustable jet or the protruding nozzle. Basically just a set screw with a hole in it for a jet. I use a vacuum cap on each of the two barbs that are connected by the clear tubing and calls it done. I don’t remember what size worked. 1/8”? 3/16”?

    Wisdom Panel Doggo DNA. I thought he was a miniature rat terrier. He’s too small to be the standard. PAWS listed him as a Jack Russel. I was trying to find a photo of rats stacked by the 100’s at the White House. I believe Teddy Roosevelt’s terriers had a field day at the White House

    Looks like my bud is not as much Teddy Bear Terrier as I thought.

    Got to be an expensive piece of stock to make billet blocks. But they sure look fast.

    This doesn’t work, but worth a shot? With my vocab limitations, the rod ends aren’t low profile enough and/or the mounting ears on the blower aren’t long enough to prevent the rod ends from contacting the blower.

    As per usual, the solution is Mo’ Throttle Baby! Burned clutch, Mo’ throttle! Understeer, Mo’ throttle! Police chase, Mo’ throttle!

    Jackshaft gear ratio

    10T to 20T 10T to 70T 14 : 1 overall reduction. I assume 18” tires. 4.71 feet per axle revolution. 1800 rpm clutch engagement? With 14 :1 gear reduction and 18” tires… @1800 RPM velocity is about 7 mph. Under 7mph, your clutch will be slipping and burning. With your current gearing (10T to...

    Oh no. I see 390 blocks for $70. Not sure if Japanese or Chinese. I do love the look of those fancy welded blocks.

    110cc Single Tao Motor with 3 speed trans. What axle-sprocket tooth count should I run?

    I guess I don’t believe the tires are 6” diameter. The tire looks as tall as it is wide and it is as wide as the engine. In the words of Morpheus….

    110cc Single Tao Motor with 3 speed trans. What axle-sprocket tooth count should I run?

    Oh ok, I’ll take a look. But as mentioned before, I only got the two. Lol Just to be sure, did you measure the 6” height of the tire? Or does the tire say something like “x6” indicating “RIM” or “WHEEL” size. Even 4” rims with 4.10-3.5 x 4 tires are taller than 10”.

    Looks good to me. I think floating the secondary is most beneficial when using the yellow (reverse wound) spring and the movable sheaves on each clutch move in opposite directions. As long as one clutch is inboard and one outboard, the alignment during/after the shift shouldn’t be as much of an...

    If you look into snow mobiles…. Lots of discussion about floating secondary clutches. I guess it’s been a hop topic . I guess it boils down to wear on the belt vs wear on the shaft. Belt angle may be important to your side cover mount issue tho.? “The floating secondary was a thing that tryed...
