would a lawnmower engine be best for a 2 person go kart?

Sam

my friends were asking on yahoo and trying to make a 4 person go kart but thinking a bout 2 2 person go kart so any ideas?

Answer
It's very hard to use a vertical shaft engine (like lawn mower) on a go kart. It has been done before but alot more torque and money than it's worth

A horizontal shaft engine is what you want (used on pressure washers, log splitters, etc)

You can buy good new china made clones of honda engines for cheap now.
6.5 HP, 196cc http://www.harborfreight.com/engines-generators/gas-engines/65-hp-horizontal-shaft-overhead-valve-gas-engine-66015.html

11 HP, 337cc http://www.harborfreight.com/engines-generators/gas-engines/11-hp-ohv-horizontal-shaft-gas-engine-66524.html

13 HP, 389cc http://www.harborfreight.com/engines-generators/gas-engines/13-hp-ohv-horizontal-shaft-gas-engine-66525.html

As a summer project me and my kids built 2 karts. Used harbor freight 6.5 HP $100 engines on both. It pulls me at 285 lbs just fine.

The top speed, the torque, etc of a go kart has more to do with gearing (sprocket sizes) than engine HP.

We built one from ground up, welded frame together and everything. Its geared at 5:1 and will top out at around 35 MPH, pull it has trouble starting off on a hill or pulling up steep hills even with my 120 lbs son on it.

The other one we did was a modded dingo frame, same engine, but used a jackshaft to gear it to 11.4:1. Top speed on it, is only around 19/20 mph but it has enough torque to spin the rear tires on pavement and leave black rubber marks. Pulls up hills like mad

Here's our karts http://rides.webshots.com/album/578816340NKgeYM

How do I figure the size for Pressure Washer gun Steel ball check valve?

pressure washer harbor freight image

danbo

Hi, I have a cheap Anlu pressure washer (Harbor Freight special from a couple years back) which had the inlet fitting on
the gun break after about 2 hours of use. Well, I was able to get a
replacement fitting, but somehow when I took the gun apart, the steel
ball for the gun valve fell on the garage floor and bounced into
obvlion. I looked for about 2 horus and couldn't find it. Anyway, I
can't get any help from Anlu, and all I want to do is find a stainless
ball the right size to fit. I'm in Portland, OR and don't know of a
local steel ball retailer, so I was going to order some on the web,
but I don't know what size it is. I suupose I could guess, or how can
I figure out from the valve seat how big the ball should be. I figure
it's got to be a pretty common size (probably metric, somewhere
equivalent to about 1/4", I would think).

Answer
A really good hardware store will have these, It is probably 1/4- 5/16" Take the valve to the store and try both sizes

Pressure washer for Car?

bibi

my husband is thinking to buy a pressure washer , main reason is to wash his car, but also to use it around the house, drive way etc...but we have no idea which one to buy, which PSI is strong enought to clean the car without damaging the car. He baby his car very much!
Does anyone know what is the PSI at the car wash?? is there any pressure washer that has adjustible pressure?
Thank you!
does anyone know what is the PSI at the Coin car wash.

Answer
on pressure washers the PSI is not as important as the GPM (gallons per minute) so look for pressure washers that have a higher GPM rating. also you adjust the PSI by changing nozzles. make sure there are a variety of nozzles avaliable or the nozzle itself is adjustable. this ensures a wide variety of uses. you would want low pressure to say clean exterior of house vs clean car or driveway. a typical car wash uses 500 to 700 psi. you can find them at sears, lowes, home depot, harbour freight and many auto parts store.

WHERE I CAN PURCHASE HONDA PRESSURE WASHER MACHINES IN SAUDI ARABIA MARKET?

pressure washer harbor freight image

peter paul

Answer
At the Saudi Arabia pressure washer store.

Might have to go mail order from near-by neighboring countries. See is there's a Harbor Freight store or a Sears or any large or small hardware store that stocks these things in country or near country.

Mail order might be the only way to fly in this case.

Good Luck!!

What is a normal price to get a 250 square foot deck powerwashed?

paulie

I want to get my deck powerwashed but I didnt know how much I should pay the professionals. or Is it easier to just buy a powerwasher and do it myself? its not that big of a deck though. please help.

Answer
You can do this your self and save your money. A pressure washer at harbor freight will cost less than $100 and will do a great job. If you do it yourself just don't position the wand too close to the wood as will make it fuzzy when dry.Hope this helps
