Don't get it twisted yo, I'm not trying to imply they are as good as tool, I'm simply saying that they are similar enough that if you loooove tool you might like a couple of their songs.
Perfect Circle < Puscifer, IMO. But that's splitting hairs......

You putting in a small block chevy three fiddy in there? I shouldn't laugh I had a built 406 in El Camino for awhile......
No I bought my kid a cheapo chinese 4 wheeler about a year ago. It didn't have an actual governor but it had a little screw on the gas lever to limit how much gas you can give it. It's got an automatic trans and I think that because I had the gas so limited it burned out the clutch. So I bought a new clutch from China, it arrives and I find out I need a special tool. Ordered the tool, had a little work area segregated, and mother in law comes into town. She decided to clean up threw away some of the parts for some reason. None of this has been admitted, but I know what happened. I lost the engine cover, some linkage parts, and a foot board. The thing costs $1000 new, so I advocated to just get a new one and be done. My wife doesn't like to spend money when I can just do work instead, so she figured out we could get a new engine for $300. So we got that, a new chain, a new footboard. And, it turns out the battery is shot, so I've got one on order. I put the old battery on a trickle charger, but the charger didn't like it, although it did seem to charge the battery some. However, when I try to start it there's just a click. I suspect maybe there's an electrical problem with the starter, or a problem in the starter itself, but I can't really tell without knowing if there's enough charge getting to it anyway. Still, I can use the starter from the old engine if necessary. We're now up to around $550 invested in the repair, and until I can put a battery to it I won't know if the repair was even successful. Oh, and the new engine, which took 3 weeks to ship, was dropped, one of the engine covers was destroyed. I replaced it with the non-missing engine cover from the old engine, but I don't know that there isn't internal damage to the engine. It turned over pretty smooth so I think it's okay. At any rate, $550 plus my labor. If we have to get just a couple of more things for it I'll be able to hold it over the wife's red head that we could have just got a new one and been riding a while ago.

I have a tao tao go kart from China, had it like 5 years and it's been good. We beat the heck outta it. Has reverse and electric start . It goes like 35. I also have a knock off Chinese BAJA warrior mini bike that is the cats [edited]. Then we ended up with another go kart with a seized piston wrist pin. Pulled engine out and put a 5 horse Honda gx motor in it with a jackshaft set up and it's a stump puller. I always gotta put my battery on the booster to start it but it runs all day after. I'm too cheap to buy a new one and usually don't have the time to trickle charge it as we keep all this junk at the father in laws with the camper.

This one's a coolster. And it did work fine, I can't really complain about it. I think the clutch burned out because of the Bee Ess governor, the motor never got to wind up and fully disengage the clutch. I've also got a Jeep that I need to spend some time and money on....mostly money.
