Sorry man. Any pics? I can pass them here in case they bring it to Northern CA

[Sebastian Sarmiento]

Thank you for the info guys. I did called them this morning and talked to Mary. She’s super nice, They took a mini vacation and that’s why they couldn’t reply right away.

Thank you all for encouraging me to place the order. Can’t wait to get those Ferrari decals!

Actually they are in Canada,  not China. Unless is just a front.

Hey Tim,

Those Yamaha look nice, just a bit cheaper than the Honda, but that’s not the deal maker,

It seems that the carb features (shut off allows the carb to burn all the gas and doesn’t leave any gas residue in the carb, which is the number one reason for gen. giving trouble to start after a long period of inactivity), fuel gauge (Honda doesn’t have one) and it passes the Honda in every way (lighter, lower decibels, and a few other things that are not important).

I like the Yamaha, I just need to make sure there’s a Yamaha dealer around here that service those units.

Found it for $910 free shipping. and it also comes with the battery charger cable included (the Honda doesn’t). Big war between the two little ones, both are great.

Hi Mike,

I went to Home depot to buy one yesterday, but they only had one out of the box (looked full of dust like it’s been there for ever), they are 39, plus the battery (1) $59, plus the charger $35.

So instead I bought this one as a plan “B”

It can work from the car lighter (in case the generator fails) or from the generator in case the compressor fails. I like the fact you can program the psi desired and it’ll automatically stop once it reaches it. (I’ll see how accurate it is by checking with my longacre digital gauge)

and this compressor:

Thank you for all your help fellows. No air tools for now. I’ll use my existent Makita impact wrench/hammer drill and electric screwdriver.

[Sebastian Sarmiento]

thank you for the suggestions guys. What Paul said is very interesting, I had no idea about CFM.

The tool kit From craftsman says the average tool CFM is 4.4 and most of the 6 gallons compressors will barely do 4.0 CFM at 90 PSI. I guess that means the compressor will work like crazy and I’m not even going to get good results out of it?.

Now what Mike brought up is super cool.  I’m a plumber and I use lots of battery powered tools, have you had the Ryobi for a while??. To my knowledge is probably one of the weakest power tools brands out there, but everybody gets different results out of the same tool.

Thanks again boys, I’m getting great advices/options here.

[Sebastian Sarmiento]

thats exactly the answer I was looking for, and thought about the same generator, Impact and ratchets are the only tools I would run, (sears has a craftsman sells a starter kit with ratchet, impact, another tool and the 25′ hose for 49.99) the rest can be done at home .may be go eu3000?, but if the 2000 can provide just fine for the compressor and I may go with that.

Thank you Kenneth, I really appreciate the info.

[Sebastian Sarmiento]

Thank you Gary,

I followed your advice and got a probe one.

[Sebastian Sarmiento]

Thanks Walt, you are always of great help!.

[Sebastian Sarmiento]

Hi Walt,

Thanks for your help again, would you say the Tony kart MXC are pure magnesium? They are so expensive that I would think they are, but what do you think?

[Sebastian Sarmiento]

Thunderhill is a whole new track now and they keep adding to it! I used to go there and track days with my gixxer 750. Good memories.

[Sebastian Sarmiento]

Hey Freddy!!,
Always great to hear from you man!. Sounds like a lot of fun!. I don’t have any karting races under my belt, just practice days and I don’t want to ruin the race!LOL!.
I may go anyways, even if I don’t race, is it at buttonwillow or at the Bakersfield track?.
Pass me the info of Josh, I’ll contact him, may we can carpool.
Thanks for the invite man!!, you bakersfilians (I don’t think that word exist lol!) are awesome people!.
About your kid, I hope He’s OK, but ouch!, sounds like a  $$$$$ repair!!

[Sebastian Sarmiento]

For whoever needs the Tony kart recommendation for seat positioning.

Altezza pilota means driver height

Freddy,

You are right, the perfect center would be to open up both struts, but the one on the engine side is 1/4″ away from the starter of the engine, so that one can’t really move, the 2″ and 2″ would have to move towards the opposite side and as I mentioned before the seat would be way off center and unbalanced the weight big time and what worry me the most is to open up the left strut 4″.

I’m inclining towards taking it to the shop and see how they would do it. I’m curious

Thanks everyone for your help. I’m glad other people will be taking benefit of this thread as well!.

I’ll take some pics of the before and after.

[Sebastian Sarmiento]

I have an iphone 5 and it does the same thing

[Sebastian Sarmiento]

Hey John,

I live in San Jose, I know it was a while ago about your karts, I hope you got them back.

Living in South Bay, which club would you recommend, I’m trying to find my place.

I’ve heard kinsmen club in Dixon is pretty good.

[Sebastian Sarmiento]

Wow , you guys know so much!! and Thanks Freddy for the advice, I’m happy to hear re-powder coating is not an issue.

Freddy, By the way, beautiful track you guys have there!! and you know what, it’s not that far, I may comeback soon for the weekend and stay in a hotel nearby, may be you can show me the driving lines??.

Everybody here knows something that someone else doesn’t and that’s what make this forum so great!!

Thanks everyone for schooling newbies like me!!

[Sebastian Sarmiento]

I’m new to karting, but I’ve asked the re-powder coating question to several well seasoned karters and most of them agreed that the chassis never handles the same way after a re-coating (second heat cycle).

Although some say that after recoating, if you change your chassis settings, it can get close to what it was.(it all comes to personal experience and preference I guess?)

I’m curious about this myself, as there’s a chassis I would like to re-coat.

[Sebastian Sarmiento]

Thank you guys,

I’ll look into those sk-6

[Sebastian Sarmiento]

I’m on the same boat Ken, I got a double stacked open trailer. I’ve a friend that can weld and doing the math the other day, with about $200 you can make it an enclosed trailer (of course, not 6-8 height, but enclosed enough to lock everything inside.

I’ll do it, I can send you pics of the work how we progress, if you want. It’s the best and cheapest option before jumping into a enclosed 2-3 k trailer.

just my 2 cents.

Good luck with whatever you do.

[Sebastian Sarmiento]

Hey Freddy,

Yes , thanks for the info. I’m buying the Tony 2014.

Steve’s a really nice guy, sent me lots of pics and explained every detail over the phone (you have to be patient with a newbie like me).

He may be ordering some extra parts for me as well.

Interesting! I may go there this weekend to pick up the Tony, Trying to move things around at work. I’m sure you are gonna have a killer time testing karts and it would be great to meet you in person and the most important thing… pass some tips from “fast Freddy” to “slow Sebastian” LOL.

Thanks again for all your help man!!

[Sebastian Sarmiento]

yes, I was reading that and was like , what the hell??. LOL may be I can get Michael Schumacher ID with my pic ; )!!

[Sebastian Sarmiento]

thanks Walt

[Sebastian Sarmiento]

Thanks John!
