battery has a good charge.
Solonoid box just clicks but will not start engine.
Pull start will not start engine either.
My dad checked the spark plug wire and there is no currant coming from the spark plug wire. This is a brand new just assembled 50cc gocart and I don’t know what else to do, Im getting no response from customer service from the company I ordered it from. Any suggestions? My son comes home in a couple of days from his dads and this was to be his birthday present but I have no idea what to do!
HELP!
The specs are:

Engine 50cc Air Cooled, 4-Stroke, Single Cylinder Chain Driven!!
Max Power 3.5 HP (EST)
Ignition 12v / 9A CDI
Start Pull Start
Transmission Dry-auto acentric

*my dad said there is "no fire to the coil"..or maybe he said there is no fire FROM the coil…something like that.

The exact gocart and the website I ordered from is :

How do you make a shifter cart?

 

What will I need to make a shifter cart?
Can you make a list of every single thing that I will need to make one?
It doesn’t have to be an amazing cart. Just ok…
Thanks

Air Engine?

 

I want to make a engine powered by a 250lb car air compresssor. i want to make a gocart or somthing.
im 13 and want a ride. i read you can use a car battery to power the compressor. i have two from trying to fix my old lawn mower.
my neighbor is a engine guy. he used to own the junkyard up the road. he’ll fix broken mowers and sell them in his yard. he showed us a shriner cart he has with a mower engine. he elling it and said i wouldn’t want it because it always needs repair… should i get it anyway… its really fun.
i mean with no fuel at all. the air turns a turbine, witch turns the wheels!!!
the compressor is powered by a battery.——
—-it will work like a windmill. when you blow it spins. seal outside to prevent escaping air, attach a axle to the hub, put in some gearsand wheels and whola!!! wont have much torque, but might work.

I HOPE THE CEO OF GM GETS TO READ THIS… I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD GET BAILED OUT. OTHER WISE AS WE KNOW IT LIFE WILL SUCK PART STORES WILL CLOSE AND PARTS WILL BE MORE EXPENSIVE AND HARD TO FIND AND THEN ALL THE JOBS PEOPLE IN THE AUTO INDUSTRY HAVE TO FEED THERE FAMILIES. HOWEVER EVEN IF THEY GET BAILED OUT IT WONT MAKE A DIFFERENCE UNLESS THEY GET THERE ACT TOGETHER… I HAVE BEEN IN THERE NEW CARS. THEY SUCK, THEY ARE CHEAP, AND THE RELIABILITY AND QUALITY SUCKS. HONESTLY GO BUY AND ACCORD, A ACURA TL, THEN GO AND GET A CAMERY, AND A CORROLLA… LOOK AT THEM STUDY THEM, TAKE THEM APART REALIZE WHATS SO DIFFERENCE AND START MAKIG YOUR CARS LIKE THERES… MAKE YOUR PARTS LAST LONGER… I OWN A 2002 TL. 200,000 MILES I HAVE YET TO REPLACE A WATER PUMP, AN ALTERNATOR… I HAVE PUT SUCH LITTLE MONEY INTO THIS CAR AND IT RUNS LIKE A CHAMP… THEN I HAVE A 99 ALERO WITH 140,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAD TO REPLACE WATER PUMP, ALERNATOR, COOLANT TUBES, TIE RODS, BALL JOINTS, JUST STUPID PARTS BEFORE 120,000. MAKE THE CARS WIRTH SOMETHING BUYING I LOOK AT THEM AS THROW AWAY VEHICLES. AND ON TOP OF ALL THIS… GET RID OF HUMMER… THATS A BIG WAIST OF MONEY RIGHT THERE… MAKE THEM EXTINCT. AS FOR THE REST OF EVERYTHING I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE THERE BRANDS GMC, AND CHEVY BECOME ONE… THEY GMC VERSION IS THE SAME THING JUST A LITTLE NICER… GET RID OF IT… MERGE IT DO SOMETHING…. AS FOR PONTIAC THATS ANOTHER STORY… ALONG WITH BUICK, SATURN. AND AS FAR AS SAAB GOES I WONT EVEN GET INTO THAT ONE! AND AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED MAYBE IF THEY WOULD KEEP UP ON NEWS AND HAVE REALIZED HOW MANY PEOPLE WANT OLDSMOBILE BACK…. THAT WOULD GET YA ALOT OF BANK RIGHT THERE… START IT BACK, COME OUT WITH ALL NEW ALERO, AURORA THE WHOLE LINE… NEVER SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN RID OF IT IN THE FIRST PLACE… AND REALLY INSTEAD OF HAVING IMPALAS AND MALIBUS LOOK IDENTICAL TO EACH OTHER MAKE IT DIFFERENT NEVER BE AFFRAID TO GO DIFFERENT. I HATE THE NEW IMPALAS AND MALIBUS…. THERE DASH BOARDS ALONE ARE PLASTIC AND CHEAP… THE DONT EVEN PUT ICONS DOWN BY THE GEAR SHIFTER TO KNOW WHAT ITS IN YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT DASH BOARD IT SHOULD BE ON BOTH…. STOP STOP STOP STOP MAKING CARS LIKE ALERO AND GRAND AM GT…. WITH LITTLE DIFFERENCE ITS A WAIST OF MONEY. YOU DONT NEED LOOK ALIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DOES TOYOTAS CAMRY LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THERE LEXUS???? NOPE NOT ANYMORE CAUSE THEY GOT SMART!!!! YOU DO THOSE THINGS THEN YOU SHOULD GET BAILED OUT AND GET TO THEM… BUT BAILING THEM OUT AND HAVING THEM DO NOTHING TO IMPROVE WILL JUST PUT AMERICA IN MORE DEBT CAUSE IT WILL ONLY SAVE EM A FEW YEARS THEN THEY WILL WANT MORE MONEY…. AS FAR AS JEEP GET RID OF THEM!!!!!! NO ONE IN THIS ECONOMY NEEDS A JEEP ANYMORE…. LET ALONE HAVE A SOCCER MOM DRIVING AROUND A CHEVY SURBURBAN CAUSE THEY HAVE A TWO MONTH OLD CHILD TO CART AROUND… REALLY HONESTLY GET A CLUE… WE DONT NEED EM… START SOMETHING SMARTER AND MORE FUEL EFFICIENT!!!!

Volkswagen vs. another small car?

 

I wanted to buy a small car. Initially, I wanted the MINI because of its unique look and feel, yet I haven’t test driven one yet. But considering the gocart handling and the doubt of its safety, I was looking into alternatives. I was told by a coworker NOT to get a Volkswagen coz of her problems with brakes or something. Is this true of all Volkswagens? Coz I’m considering getting a Rabbit, cute in its appearance…yet still uncertain of its quality and safety…Are there still Honda hatchbacks or derivatives of such? I would get one as a last resort, being that my last car that lasted for 12 years (just sold) was also a Honda. I’m looking for a new driving experience that’s enjoyable and safe….Please help me.? :) THANKS
I just looked at Volvo’s C30 site. It looks great, though mileage wise is a bit least to be desired (19 on city). But is it true that Volvo is considered one of the safest cars?…More replies needed :) thanks for your replies :)

if i were to sell these what do you think they would be worth on ebay. If you can just help me out for one of them that would be great. Also would you check to make sure i named everything right. Would the rust be a big problem. I was gonna take the electric steel brush and take what i can off.

any advice would be very helpful.

here is the whole set if you want to see more pictures.

thanks!!
also if i have it shipped via ups, can i have them pack it for me and provide me with a box. do they charge extra for packing it. If not how do you reccomend me packing something that big?

thanks again

Go Cart Advice, Being Sold On Ebay!?

Can i make my homemade gocart street legal? (i live in louisianna?)?

Anybody have some (USEFUL) information?

600cc Engine size, price and location. fabricating it for a fl-250 honda Odyssey?

 

Its a 1980 something honda odyssey fl-250. I am having issues with the stock 250 motor’s stator assembly. I am also tired of putting money into this engine. I had the idea that if I do a little fab work, and a lot of scratching my head I might be able to find a crotch rocket that someone wrecked, that I could pick up for cheap, and take the engine/tranny from it to fab to the odyssey. I realize this will be a lot of work, but not impossible. My plans are to get a 600/1000cc engine and tranny from a cbr or similar. Mount it on the rear of the cart. Remove stock gear case/centrifugal clutch. Then fab the mounts, and use the same chain drive to a sprocket on the rear axle (live axle). The shifter will hopefully mount up to my left side (while driving) and place a mechanically actuated clutch pedal in the foot well. This would use the same stock shifter, new clutch assembly, and still be able to give it some gas while shifting. {gas on handle bar on right side, brake same on left} The issue thus far has been finding an engine that someone crashed, but that is still in good shape with the tranny, for a somewhat cheap price. Once I have that, then the fun of getting it all to go together starts. I for see a lot of welding, moving the seat, and lots of $$ going into this, might be cheaper to build one from scratch… but where is the fun in that.

Any help on finding an site to look at engines (other than auction) and any input on how fucking dumb i must be is welcome. Also if you have anything that might help, be it a engine/tranny, or even some way to hook it up in mind let me know.

btw i live in the akron ohio area… so if you know of a salvage/junk yard with sport bike engines/trannies thanks so much.

go kart help?

 

I’m considering racing go karts. I’m 15 and wondering what a good beginner kart costs. Where to buy them (online) and what cart. I don’t want a shifter kart yet.
The place i want to become a member at is Motorsports Club Of Cincinnati. I asked the owner what a good begginer cart is. Here is his answer.

As far as karts, we (MCC) are a dealer for CRG. This means that we can
sell any new CRG karts, from beginner up to six speed shifters. If you
are looking for something used to begin, then I cannot sell that to you,
but I am certainly happy to discuss and help you into the right direction.

A new beginner kart from MCC will run about ,000. If you are looking
for something used, and would like to talk about it, just let me know.

6,000 IS THAT NORMAL???

help on less popular sports.?

 

my parents require me to do a sport once a year. and before i’ve been forced to play football even tho i hate foot ball like i hate prepubesent voices on xbox live…..

ne ways so im looking for a less team sport type thing that will keep me pasionant and intrested.

the only things i can think of are like competitive gun shooting, fencing (like those skinny swords), dirt biking, racing a shifter cart (those little go carts that go like 60 that are round and crap.), drifter, drag racer.

u no adrenalin junkie type shit.
also im only 15 so take that into account, example ur not allowed to sky dive till ur like 18 so i probaly couldnt competitive sky dive.

thanks in advanced for ur help
i’ll give 10 pts to person who gives me the most sports that arn’t like foot ball base ball basket ball. no normal sports.
