Did you ever find your fittings? Not sure of where you are in michigan but have you tried exotic? Its a parker supplier on crooks and m59 they are who we use for a lot of odd ball stuff at work

Heat up the pulley and get a wax candle. Get the pulley hot enough to draw the wax down into the threads of the set screw then get an easy out the right size to fit into the rounded out hole and enjoy a frosty cold adult beverage!

Looking for advice on tuning carb on my wheelhorse. I have it running decent but the choke has to be left part way on. When my clutch fully engages I can feel the motor trying at wide open but it pops shutters and shakes. Once up to speed im able to open it all the way up and get more revs. Im pretty sure im getting way too much fuel someone please help!

I live in the thumb. So far I have upgraded the brakes. It has an 8" disc with a go kart caliper.im unsure about doing steering upgrades. The steering wheel is connected to a gear that turns another shaft with a set of links running out to each tire what does everyone else do for steering upgrades. I am running centrifugal clutch to ragb to solid rear axle. Any input on this setup?
