Re: FW & Associates '78 Corvette restore drive wheel and wheels

You definitely have the common fun kart junk. That link above is what appears to be correct drive wheel. But wont know until a trial fit.

Re: Tilloston HL-304E

I bought a bunch of these carburetors a few years ago before prices went up. At the time were only $10 a piece with free shipping. Hard to beat just for parts.

Re: Vintage Kart scale models?

I remember seeing some of them in old catalogs. Far a current mfg of ancient models, not so far. I also remember seeing one re-re-re-re-re-re-run episode in recent years, which is all I could stand to watch, of Make Room for Daddy, aka The Danny Thomas Show. This particular episode was around 1961. ...

Re: Calling all Clintons!

A few questions to those who have posted so far. Is that 4-port E-65 only the intakes? As in two added like on a Westbend 5 port? What is a 5-port E-65? What do you do about the exhaust on an outboard engine? Does the E-65 run well converted to a bushing engine? Like replacing the needles with a flo...

Re: (PLEASE HELP) IDENTIFY ...

A great help would be to take some pics of bare frame. Fiberglass body is fairly generic. But there are also a bunch of frames that look nearly identical.

Re: Thank you..... Mr. Mc

That looks like the very first production model chainsaw. The model 3-25, type 1. It was 4.71 cubic inches, rotary valve, produced 3 horsepower and weighed 25 pounds. The cylinder was chrome plated on first year production. It is also gear reduction. The starter was typical recoil type but with stee...

Re: Sprocket distancing and....

There was a company way back when that used to offer those. Not any name brand parts place tho. They came in a pack of 1/32, 1/16, and 1/8. Something like $1.25 a pack plus postage. Dual engine pack was $2.

Hey Ted, I hate going to any grocery store even when death is not knocking at every door. You think if the rest of us bitch and raise hell, we might get some sympathy steaks too?
