6th Reflection
This week i have gotten my gas motor running have most of my parts, just need fuses and #2 wire, i think. The gas motor was giving me considerable trouble, i relaced the carborator and the fule line. i checked the generator and it as fine, i assumed the wire was broken untill i disconnected the power from the spark plug and the engien ran better. turns out, the spark plug was bad. i got it running very fast untill the gas pedal came off, got stuck under the go-cart so it was pulling the throttle to maximum. that was a little freakey untill it it a wall and i was able to hit the emergency stop. this week i was doing about 5 out of 10, speed wise.
5th Reflection
Since my last reflection, i have gotten a key for my batteries. so far my best source is here. im concerned that my dad may keep me from finishing the project, he wants me to fix the gas motor first which is impossible because it is cursed. i have been going about 1 out of 10 speed wise.
