any risks of blowing the engine?

I’m going to buy Mario Cart, can you see this game enough to play well on a 32" TV with 4 people at 1 time or should u just play 2 at a time?
I’m asking to see if it would be worth buying 3 extra remotes & steering wheels.

ive watched speed alot and its so cool to see people win but im 13 girl and i want to start go cart racing so dont tell meh to get seasons pass to the go cart track cause im going to try that and get into clubs then later buy a go cart cause yah but from that stage should i have to get used to the track for some years? also im in calgary so are there any clubs where you can rent them and learn to drive?

Would it?

Thanks guys and gals :]

I want to do this test to see if it’s accurate or not but it cost 34.95 and I wanna buy it cheaper. On the website, when I go to Add to Cart it says enter coupon code. I was wondering where I could get a coupon to buy it cheaper.

Something is wrong in my motor and i have taken off the body, seats, roof, etc. to get to the motor but i cannot figure out how to take it off the axle. We have taken out all the screws but it wont move. Can you please help?

Do anyone know where a family could go in Milwaukee Wisconsin to ride go-carts? Like a track that already has them and you just go and pay and you can ride for a few laps or whatever? Thanks in advance.

I’ve had this electric golf cart for 4 years now. This spring I went to the campground to pull it out of my shed. The batteries were low charged as expected. Even when its low charged, it always would move every spring. This time we had to push it. I plugged it in for a few days and when I went back it had fully charged up. I thought great!! I went to move it but it still didn’t move. The motor seems to be fine and sounds like its working but the cart wheels aren’t moving. All it does is shake like it wants to move. Any suggestions on where to look for the problem would be great. Since I live in a rural area, I have to fix it myself. Thanks !!
The parking brake was not on for the winter. It was in neutral with wood blocks put behind the wheels.

a few weeks ago this frequent shopper that comes in my work maybe 3 to 4 times a week shops at my work , at first I thought he was just being nice and friendly,then a few weeks later I was out on my schedule time frame for charts. He was coming up to me form the parking lot and I was inside the cart area where we gather the carts and bring them back in to the main cart area wear people get the carts form. While I was inside the mini cart area this person comes into the mini cart area and starts talking to me and I forgot what he said before he gave me the hug and then he started saying that he loves me more than once and the he finally let me go and then on july 14th around five thrifty I was going on my break and so I got a soda and then I went and stood in line and then this person comes up behind me and just grabs my upper arm and one of my co workers kind of saw what happen but I am not hundred percent positive that she saw what happen so a few minutes later my other co worker told my supervisor what happen so she paged another checker to relive her so we could talk about that happened but she told me to wait until we got up stairs into my boss office so it would be more private and confidential and so as soon as I go up stairs she unlocked the door and me and her started talk and we where waiting for another one of my co workers to get up stairs so as soon as the other co worker go up stairs I told my supervisor and the other co worker what had happen and so I told her that this guy has been bothering me and he keeps touching me and she asked me if he had touched my breast and I told her no and she told me that she was going to call the store manager and so she told me just to wait until she go off the phone and also she asked to see the receipt for the soda so she could right down the time which I did a few minutes after she go off of the phone she told me that my boss told me to white a statement with as much details as I can and also he is not allowed to shop at the store which I don’t know how long that will before but when I got home my night time supervisor called me to check to see if I got home which I did so a few minutes after I calm down a bit form what had happened to me I called my work back and talked to my night time supervisor and so she wants me to call my work tomorrow and to speak with my assistant store manager, I feel so violated form what he did to me and I basically feel threaded by him and intimated by him and also ashamed of what he did and also insulting, I don’t know if I can tell my therapist this but I feel I need to in order to get through this difficult time i just can’t stop crying over this I wish this was a easy fix but I guess not I feel if I don’t tell my therapist then I am hiding a big secret form her, i want to cut my self bad to the point of leaving a huge scar on my body what should i do i don’t see my therapist until next thursday and don’t see my other doctor until september should i show both of them the statement that i typed up for work and what do i do in the mean time i feel so down and bad help me need a lot of answers scared to go to work because problem please need serious answers no mean answers of insulting answers very upset about this i have not been able to sleep at all last night because l like he is going to threaten me again i know i should Go to the police and get a restraining order against this guy so he doesn’t come within 500 Ft. i am i messing anything in my statement for work or what not need a ton of answers why do i feel like cutting due to this problem by the way my age is 21 years old and i do have witnesses to this to and also i want to take him to court and get him arrested how would i go about doing this and i started cutting again and can,t stop please no rude comments please ok so today i saw this son of a ***** Again i try ed to get his license plate number but he drove away to fast help me i don’t know what to do i feel like he is stoking me at work and i cant sleep at night because of this problem

I’m only 17 and I just got my first job at Kmart pushing carts for part time. I was excited to get this job, and I liked it during the training and everything. When I started my first real day, it was okay but I am already starting to hate it. I turn 18 in July, which I will be promoted to something else, most likely cashier. I was hired only two weeks ago and to be honest i’m hating this job already. I can do the job with no problems, greet customers, push carts, help other employees if needed, it’s all simple stuff that’s not hard work but I hate just going in for work. I don’t mind the customers at all, i’m used to them since I worked part time for one of my family members at his business. I really don’t care for most of the employees there, I like a few but most just seem to give others a hard time. Also the bosses/supervisors were nice during training, but lately they are no help to me at all. Any questions I have or any concerns they completely ignore me or any of the other employees.

To be honest I don’t want to go back in which would be monday, i’m seriously considering quitting my job, I only worked two weeks for them and it’s hard for me to go in to work. Another thing is I don’t seem to have the energy or time to do any school work because of my new job which is causing a big trouble. This is my first job and I don’t want to leave on bad terms so I am going to write a letter of resignation and turn it in on Monday and just quit right there and then. I know that giving a 2 week notice is more professional but I have no interest at all in working for them for any longer.

So I would like to have some of your guys opinions on this?

Keep in mind this isn’t really a money kind of thing, it was more of getting a little job experience so I know what to expect for the future. I graduate in late May/Early June and I plan on getting a full time job when I turn 18 in July, not as a cart pusher thats for sure lol.

I need to buy a Golf cart OR Go kart for someone that lives in Virginia. Where is the cheapest place to order or buy one? (Online or at store – either) It needs to be CHEAP! But, it also CAN be used. I don’t really care just cheap, cheap, CHEAP!

Oh and : I also kinda need a 2 person one. It doesn’t really matter…

i have a go cart that is a 2 wheel drive (rear wheels) it is built very sturdy and has suspension. i would like to know if it would be possible to put any kind of small dirt bike engine on it (50-150cc) and if so how hard would it be to hook up and mount.

I am going to universal and thee will be 5 people we need to find out how many people can sit together on all the main rides it does not say on the home page help

i am 19 and am expecting a baby in 5 weeks. my then-fiance recentley walked out a few weeks ago leaving me w/ a whole load of bills at my house, which i am renting. my rent is 0 and then theres utilities w/ a seperate water bill and seperate electric. i have a cell phone to pay for too. i cannot work until 6 to 8 weeks post partum. my fiance had been paying for all of this until he walked out. my mom told me if i can get money to pay the landlord (which is my aunt) she will pay my utilities. my other aunt and friend have decided to split my phone bill. my mom has been wanting me to move back in w/ her, which is right next door. she has a husband (my step dad) who lives there too along w/ our adult cousin and my 2 sisters ten and 13. the house is only 2 bedroom so my parents have a room, my sisters have another room and my cousin sleeps on the couch or floor downstairs. i got my friend to loan me 200 and another friend to loan me 100. i just needed 80 more and was working on getting that from my grandma for doing work around her home. (cleaning, ect)

i gave the 300 to my mom for her to pay her sister a rent payment and tell her i will have the remaining $$ the next week. my mom says theres no point in having me be in debt to people and having to borrow $ for the next 3-4 months. my bills are already low b/c my shower head is broken so i shower and mostly eat on my moms side. (our houses are in a double) i have the food card and medical card so i can get food my bills are just a problem b/c i have 0 income. i am an stna and have a job lined up to start in april making 10 an hour, so paying ppl back will be done in the next 6-8 months.

my mother, however has her own ideas. she took it upon herself to call up my aunt and tell her i’m going to move back in with her b/c i couldn’t come up w/ the money in time. my aunt gave me till feb first but my mom told her thats ok i’m willing to move right now asap. then my mom spent 50 of my rent money on her and my dad to eat at outback and 40 to buy my sisters and cousins pizza and the another 30 to get my sisters haircuts.and of course now has no reason to pay utilities. so i’m going to use the $ i get from my grandmother and whats left of what my mom did not spend to cover the utilities.

i asked my mom about this and she said oh i will pay you back but i know thats not going to happen. she never pays any1 back unless its small things like borrowing a dollar or two until my dad gets home or something. my mom babysits and make a few hundred a week and my dad is a roofer which is seasonal work. my grown cousin doesn’t work either.

so now i am forced to move back next door-which i really don’t want to do. i will sleep down stairs in the corner of the living room in my bed w/ my baby in her crib or bassinett next to me. i have a care cart from walmart for her that will hold her diapers and such but that has to get stuck in the bathroom b/c there isn’t room in the living room. my stuff and my babys stuff like clothes and toys and any extra anything will be in tubs in an upstairs "play room" that is only about 11 by 4 feet.

i just got a bunch of new house things for christmas and they now must go into storage. i know i should be grateful for my mom being so generous when shew doesn’t have too, but honestly if you knew my mom. she is pushy and only wants me to live w/ her b/c she wants me to stay dependant on her and not be independant or have my own things. and also so i can clean the house and cook for her like i did in my teen years. i will have to work 2nd shift when i start my job which means sleeping late into the a/m. like i said my mom babysits a lot of toddlers who don’t go to school yet so w/ my bed in the living room i won’t be able to sleep past 6 am.
to top it all off, i got put on the chore chart w/ my sisters. my mom says i can help out if i am staying there and i said yea but i don’t need to be on a stupid chart for babies. i can already tell the chart is a way for me to be made to do plenty of work and not have any reason to not do what my mom wants me to do. what would you do here?

This has happened to me at least once, and I was extremely fortunate to see a friend at the store who offered to watch the cart & kids for a minute while I went to the bathroom. Actually the baby wasn’t crying, but my bladder was so full I felt like the whole world was screaming. What would I have done if I hadn’t run into that friend?

Sometimes I like to imagine what I would do if I ever won the lottery… Just wondering what I would be getting myself into here with the price for my ‘dream home’ :-)

How much do you think it would cost to build a home in the quiet country area of Missouri with 4 bedrooms, a mini private movie theater, a solarium, a grotto, a four car garage, a one lane bowling alley, a small go-cart track, indoor pool, sauna, office/library, music room, play room for the kids, workshop, art room, a center courtyard, a front courtyard, a workout room, a fruit-tree orchard, greenhouse, and a mini-farm (like a couple of cows, pigs, goats, chickens, and rabbits)?

I’m only going into detail to get a decently accurate guess…

i realy want to make a go cart i have tons of metals and alll that stuff but can you tell me how to bulid it

i have a 6.5 engine and i need a gearbox. i am using it on a go cart i am building. any info would be nice

on this web site that shows how to construct double a arm this is a side note http://www.sadik.net/gokart/ the pic has measurements of the a arms

"when you use dual A-arms, there’s a problem to overcome: when the suspension travels up, the wheels push outwards as the A-arms get closer to horizontal. what you can do to fix this is make the upper A-arm shorter than the lower A-arm. this way, when the suspension travels up, the top A-arm, being shorter, pushes outward at a greater rate, making the top of the tire lean outward. when the tire
leans out, the part of the tire contacting the ground does not move outward." -Eric

can anyone tell me how much smaller the top one should be

about how fast will a 6-7hp engine make a go cart go?

CAN SOME1 TELL ME IF THERE IS ANY GO CART RACE TRACK PLACE THAT U PAY AND U DRIVE THERE GO CARTS.I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE IN NASSUA COUNTY,L.I BUT IT CAN BE ANY1 IN LONG ISLAND PLEASE DONT TELL ME PLACES OF LONG ISLAND.

My 2 1/2yr old son just switched from pull-ups to cloth trainers with a built-in waterproof liner. They should minimize mess for now but shifting & leaks can happen, plus he’ll eventually transition to regular toddler underwear and I’m already wondering how to handle it when….for example:
-he pees on the shopping cart seat?
-he pees on my friend’s new couch or carpeting?
-he pees on the swings/play-set at a public playground?
-his pee trickles down his leg to the floor in the middle of a store?

I know all the tricks for minimizing accidents (go before & after, bring a potty, ask regularly, bring a clothes change, etc.) but accidents still seem almost inevitable. We don’t want to use Pull-Ups while we’re out because my son thinks of them as diapers (& uses them as such) and is very excited to be done with them.

I have this mental image of myself standing in a grocery isle holding my baby in his carrier, a shopping basket set strategically out of the way, & clutching the hand of my oldest to keep him still while pee puddles at his feet and wondering whether to track pee down the isle in search of an employee or just stand there and hope one happens by soon. Any tips?
First, please take the time to actually read my question. Those were HYPOTHETICAL scenarios.

And to clarify I have already trained 3 girls as a nanny. It’s different as a mom because there are errands & dr’s appts that MUST be done. I can’t just stay at the house during training like I did as a nanny. THAT is what I need advice about. I would NEVER force my child to use the potty (as if that’s possible) or scold my child for an accident.

Also, this training has been initiated by my son. I am not trying to train him on a deadline or because "his friends are trained". I did that as a nanny too (per the parents) and learned my lesson. My son started this and has been training for over a month and has now gone 3 days without an accident. He is very excited about his new potty skills & his new underwear.

I just wanted public opinion on how to handle these situations IF they arise.

Thank you to those who actually gave advice for the question I asked.
