Bike only running on choke

Got a mini, last guy said the idle needed adjusted to get it going because it’s a newer carb. I can only get it to run on choke, but when it does run, the throttle is open to the point it will start rolling on you and will fall if you don’t hold the brake. Is this normal for these, and if not, what do I tinker with

Got it to run on its own, but the idle is the same, and it died off on its own around 15 seconds later

Which way is choke on these carbs?

Silly question, I know, but I’ve never worked with these carbs before, so, is it choking it when I have the lever at me like in the first pic, or is it choked in the 2nd pic where it is pushed back and lifts some sort of pin up that is between the carb and air flow?

Help getting bike to idle

Just got an absolute steal on this bike, only thing it needs is the idle adjusted due to a new carb. Is there any way to easily dial it in?

ALSO, fuel line has small air bubbles in it that you can see going to the carb, does this affect anything?

Pull chord was also shot, had too much slack and broke when messing with it off the bike, so got a new one coming. Maybe that will help fix it as well cause it will be easier to start.

Why are this series playlist rewards repeats?

Why are cars in series 2 that are harder to unlock basically repeats from series 1? Along with the lotus exige cup for the 160 points overall.

Would it be for people who maybe didn’t get to complete or finish series 1?

Most players will now have 2 of a “hard to find car” that will no longer be hard to find. Why not throw cars in there that are wheel spin exclusive at least?

Maybe this is a poor complaint post, but why repeat cars we just had? Makes it not as fun to complete the playlist if it’s something you already have

Son, what can I do

Some of y’all may have seen me post in the sub the past couple days with questions about my kart that has been very “homemade” built with odd things in places they should not be.

Back right rear needs replacing, as you can see, and the last dude made it merely impossible to take the wheel off due to the poor welding for who knows what reason.

Any suggestions?

Gas leak but only after engine has ran

Every time after I shut the motor off, there is a small dripping or gas that stinks my garage up. It’s coming from somewhere pictured, before it gets to the carb. White circle is where it drips onto

Can someone source me an exhaust?

Looking for a 225cc motor exhaust and muffler for relatively cheap. Current setup is rusty and kind of clapped, so looking to get something more appealing to look at.

Preferably under $50, all the ones I’ve found are $50-$80, which could be the price for them normally, I’m just on a budget right now

Is clutch supposed to be like this when running?

Edit: gave it gas to drive it and it only revved up. Looked at it and have the teeth are shredded. Ordering a new one to get this thing going

I have basic small engine knowledge, but it’s been a bit since I’ve had a bike or kart, so, is the clutch case supposed to be spinning like this and be this loud at idle?

If not, what do I need to do to fix it?

225cc swapped kart

Help with fixing up new to me cheap kart

I just bought this 225cc swapped kart for $175. It runs and sounds healthy, it just needs a couple things that I am not sure how to fix right away and need some help with.

Issue 1-front right wheel facing inward a bit while left is straight.

How would I go about fixing this issue to make both wheels straight? I’m assuming it’s a steering rack adjustment, so I included pic #2 for reference.

Issue 2-Clutch and chain

Description said it needed a chain, but it came with one, so I am yet to mess around with it to see if it fits, but if not, could someone source me a 225cc chain for relatively cheap?

Clutch issue-I can freely move the clutch cover side to side without hesitation. The nut setup and such in picture 3 are loose, and they don’t seem to tighten, so what do I do here?

Question about part-In picture 4, you can see a roller, which I’m guessing is for a chain tensioner, and a spring, which I do not know where it goes, so help is needed.

I am a noob when it comes to karts of any sort. I have worked on a couple minis in the past, so I have a slight idea, but this is a whole new world to me that I need some help learning about so I can be on the road soon.

Anything helps, thanks.

2011 bmw 740i coolant leak I believe

Filled it up last summer after it went below low on the stick. Checked today and it was below again. Refilled it and am running it now. Both times it has had dried coolant on the inside of the cap and around the rivets to twist the cap on as pictured.

What’s causing this to leak out up top?

Is it worth it to spend extra to get a power cage instead of a traditional squat rack?

I’ve been pondering about whether or not it’s worth it to splurge extra to buy a cage instead of just having a basic squat rack. Cages are more expensive and bigger. Amazon has a cheap squat rack for $89 compared to their full power cages that are upwards of $500+

What are your preferences and why?

Does anyone know a cheap flooring option?

I could not find the community rules, so please take down if it breaks them, but I am trying to see if there are any other safe floor options besides horse stall mats for the sake of pricing. It would cost me $400 alone to fully put down horse stall mats in my kinda tiny garage, which seems absurd. Any help appreciated

Just curious, been pretty consistent with my diet so far and haven’t had any greasy fast food or real sugary sweets that aren’t good for you. Would it really cause a lot of set back if I were to down a pint of Ben and Jerry’s? I’ve seen people talk about how just one bad meal can reset weeks of progress but don’t know if that is actually true

Started benzoyl peroxide a week or two ago and believe I may be purging because it’s starting to get worse. My question, for those whom it has worked for, how long did your purge last for? And should there be a length in time where I should stop if it keeps getting worse after so long?

Alternative for a smith machine deadlift? Should I just do back extensions? Workout at a PF cause I have one that’s a 30 sec walk from home. Got 225 for 6 once and it’s just gone down in reps since. Never feels good on a smith

I’ve always gone to the gym around 8ish at night give or take 30 minutes. Theres been a few times I can recall where I went at a different time and it was like I had a negative strength multiplier. Two days ago, chest and biceps, I’m pumped to workout cause I do one on two off. I get there, incline bench feels horrendous. No big deal, so I switch to incline machine press and do my set. Of course three dudes hoggin the pec deck, so I start biceps. The best I could do was barely match the weight and reps from before. So, pec deck opens up, I’ve still got hope, tell my why I could only get 4 reps when literally last workout I got 7 and before that I was hitting 6 for a month straight. Left the gym without finishing a couple workouts out of disappointment.

I ask this because I’m confused but I may have an unconfirmed answer. I ate a nice meal a couple hours before, and I was hydrated, so that was not my issue. I believe cause I eat a big dinner and go after that’s digested is the reason why I perform so much better after dark, but I’m not sure. I also got alright sleep, maybe slightly less than usual but no biggie. I was also slightly sick, but I went into it feeling great and like I do every other time.

This is just one story of this happening, I’ve had it happen on a couple other occasions, but what do y’all think.
