@karl ,@Flyinhillbilly , I'm putting together the Raptor with the parts you guys sent, but I've run into an issue. I'm installing the head studs, but I need to know what the thread pattern is on the threads. On the corner of the exhaust port, the stud gets stuck about 11 threads down. Visually...

So I almost have everything in place to assemble the Raptor, except an intake piece. I have a 28mm PWK flatslide carburetor, which is what Flyinhillbilly used to run on this same engine. He was also kind enough to include the intake manifold. Now I have a problem, I don't have the hose thingy to...

Yes, that's right. I've been working on World War 2 aircraft! Big step up from go karts! I've started spending every weekend volunteering at the Vintage Flying Museum in Fort Worth, since I'm planning to become and aircraft A&P mechanic (Airframe and Powerplant). This is very valuable experience...

All right guys, I finally got the HL19D carburetor mounted in the Hothead and got it to start up!! One problem though- It dumps fuel out the intake. :/ So I need to open this thing up and stop the huge leaks, so that brings me to the reason I'm making this thread. Anyone know which rebuild kit...

So after seeing a bunch of cool hybrid and twin turbo type cars at the Petersen Automotive Museum here in L.A I've latched onto the idea of turning the Green Monster into a hybrid go kart, so this'll be my thread to crowdsource and get input on my ideas and designs. @Functional Artist I know...

Well I'm back after a break from the forum (school and whatnot, yada yada) and I'm on vacation in sunny Los Angeles California! Well I found out we're staying 20 minutes away from the Rose Bowl, so I convinced my grandpa to take me down there! For those who don't know, Art Ingels, the creator...

So I've got pretty much all the parts I need to start building the Raptor that Flyinhillbilly sent me, but I've got one critical question before I start: How do I replace the rod bearings? I've got fresh ones, but I don't know how to get the old ones out without prying on them and I'm not about...

This is a simple question: How do I mount the number plate onto these tabs? I have no idea how to mount to these!

So I'm trying to ID the "Green Monster", so I figured the best way to do that is to start a thread dedicated to it. In short: Anyone know what race kart this is?? I'm 80% sure it's an Emmick, since it says Emmick on the seat and I see some similarities with other Emmicks, but I'm not certain...

So basically I'm just curious how many people in the DYGK community are also gamers. This thread can also be used for miscellaneous gaming talk. This past year I had a pretty nice PC gifted to me from a friend, and he introduced me to "proper" gaming. Up until then I'd basically just done dinky...

All right I did it again! This time my friends gave me their Predator 212 race kart FOR FREE as a late Christmas gift!! :banana: If you think you recognize it, you're right! I raced my friends with this kart awhile back! I completely DUSTED them with the Hothead when they brought this kart over...

So I finally got all the pieces (I think) to put my Tillotson HL-19D carburetor on the Hothead, but I can't figure out the throttle linkage. I've seen this same style throttle kit elsewhere than EC Carburetors, but I can't figure it out. There were no instructions included. So this one is...

NOT MINE. Lookie what I found! Build Break Repeat is selling off their Jeep-based minibike! https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/bik/d/plano-coleman-racing-mini-bike/7187895590.html They don't say it, but I could tell it was them when I saw it and the garage. :roflol: Here's the description, asking...

Went on the website out of curiosity, and lookie what I was greeted with! "GREAT NEWS! The purchase of 3D Motorsport Engineering is complete. As a former avid customer, I wanted this unique clutch to remain available for all to enjoy. It will take a few months before product availability, but...

Great news! I contacted EC Carburetors, and they’re making more Briggs to Mikuni billet manifolds!! :bannana: They said they’re redesigning it without the angle per request, hopefully that won’t cause fitment issues. But this means there’ll be a commercially available Briggs mikuni kit!!! And it...

So I haven't collected any info yet, but I managed to do something AWESOME!!! I made contact with the man who was CEO of Bird Engineering!! I'm not going to share his information or anything, and I'll only release information with his written consent, but I have successfully established...

I'm in the market for a genuine Mikuni 22mm carburetor, I'm planning to make my own intake runner, but I want one of the real ones. Note that I'd be willing to buy a Chinese one in the meantime, but I'd pay a pretty low price. Other things I'm interested in: Briggs stock length ARC billet con...

Yup, I finally got my first welder! For $200, I got a Century FC-90, as a late birthday present! My dad also got me this big Husky bin to keep everything in. Of course, I have a full complement of safety gear, and we even cleaned the automotive fluid stains off the garage floor before I ran a...

So out of a total surprise today, my church friends came over today with their race kart(it's actually the bishop and his son LOL). They technically broke the local shelter in place order, but oh well. They mostly brought it over so I could help them fix a major gas leak. What had happened was...

So I keep finding more and more Bird Engineering Starbirds on the internet, so instead of updating a post in my Build Off thread, I'll use this thread instead. Don't worry if it's rather empty now, it's a work in progress. Here's a list of all known Starbirds(it's become a microhobby to me to...
