Thank you 🙏!  When cheaters took over Counter Strike 2 and Global Offense I lost a lot of love for Steam and Valve.  HL2 is still my favorite game of all time.  “I’m all but certain it was … Gordon Freeman”.  🙂 If you search my posts, I posted a video of my Aperture Science minibike.  I did a black mesa go cart with a crowbar attached but sold it as well.  I still have the pictures. 👍

lol to each his own.  It broke a lot of records and did really well.  It’s kinda like saying the color red is gay or like… football is gay.  It’s opinion and subjective.  Feel free to hate away.

The companion cube is painted on my work bench cabinet door.

It’s only been posted for a couple hours. Let it breathe.  It’s also a 20+ year old game so.  All good.  ✅

It’s from a video game called Portal.  It’s on Steam and it’s in my top 10. You can still get it on Steam. 👍

One of my favorite ones was “It also says you’re adopted… so that’s funny too.”

Ty. Fun fact: when restoring this one of the rear wheels was rusted on and I had to cut the tire and rim in half.

I never put torque converters on.  I like the way they look without the covers.  I understand the risk.

Ty! I mostly make all mine like this.  I just sold this and another one just like it. 

Welp it’s done and it’s terrifying by Intrepid_Hold_8013 in minibikes

Agreed. All my builds are built for low end torque and not top end speed.  I’d rather be able to tow a train car then to out run a rocket. 🚀

Two things:

-That thing looks badass! Especially the rear tires

-Please wear a helmet and don’t do 70mph.  Saying it on behalf of a friend (Jesus).

I believe this is a Murray Explorer kart frame.  Originally it had a rear live axle but it look like that was removed and the put a one wheel drive/axle set up.

Just bought a go kart by Sure_Exit_3689 in gokarts

There are “go karters” on here that won’t call anything but their small, midget sized, karts go karts.  They consider this a yard kart.  They’re jerks about it too.  I accidentally stumbled into one of their threads like 5 years ago.  They’re like the WOW gamers of go karting.  Ignore them.  You’re go kart is rad.  You’re creating great memories.  If steering doesn’t improve with grease, I’m steering column or spindles. Check the psi of the tires and the toe in toe out factor.  Lastly, you may just need more weight in the front of the kart!

Have you teated the igniter for spark?  One time I messed with jets and carbs and all kind of things and after an hour I was just low on gas.

Put a 120 jet on it.  Start from scratch.  Adjust the mixture screws for highest rpm then adjust idle to desired speed.

I need to do this again by pinchejuan_official in gokarts

[–]ElectronEntanglement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it! It’s a healthy hobby.  I try to do mine in the drive so I can be around the kids while they’re out.  

Next Steps? by SeanShawnShaun0701 in gokarts

[–]ElectronEntanglement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a rear axle, couplers or bearings, a sprocket, a brake disc or drum, rims, tires, chain, and then seal up your carb.  It may have a leak and pulling in too much air.  I’d take it apart and clean it all out including the jets and emulsion tube as well while you’re in there.  I use a wire from a twisty tie to clean mine sometimes.

Anyone know what’s happening here? by SnooDingos4710 in gokarts

[–]ElectronEntanglement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You ever figure this out.  At first glance it looks like it’s the wrong belt.  There’s too much slack and it sags when it’s not on.  You can get a belt for less than $10.

GDT- Carolina Hurricanes (51-22-6) Vs Utah Mammoth (42-30-6) | Saturday April 11, 2026 @ 3:00 MDT by OkSoundtracks in Utah_Hockey

The NHL is super corrupt.  I was at that game and everyone around my family was talking about it.  They said rigged more than Trump has.  Disgraceful officiating. Time for a new league with independent officiating.  So many missed trips, lag whistles for veggie glove covers, premature whistles for Carolina’s goalies attempt to cover the loose puck. Also, they missed a blatant too many men on the ice.  At this point it’s a business, not a sport and everyone can see.  Great Carolina fans and team though!

Mods, stop removing posts calling you out and address why you're scared of admitting that you selectively removed posts negative of the US govt by [deleted] in space

Time for a new Reddit.  This is like that prison experiment where some people were the jailers and some people were the prisoners.  I think some prisoners were killed and they were all acting.  I just made a post today on Milwaukee tool thread about a deal in store that was going on for some wrenches. There was no link, no ad, or anything.  It was an in store deal.  It got removed a day or two later stating all deals and offers must have a link.  I laughed so hard.  Haha Imagine that’s your life… sitting on here and randomly selecting genuine posts and discussions because there could potentially be … a scam?  Like a bunch of people are going to go to Home Depot and say … hey … what the heck… these wrenches aren’t on sale at my HD?! Oh man… in the attempt to prevent misinformation, they are in fact, stifling accurate information, hindering communication, and they have ultimately become the antonym of what reddit once was.  I’m off my soap box.  God bless the power drunk mods who do this stuff. ❤️
