[@isaks3243]

pipe welder here. and I'm that sort of person who walk around and wherever I come across welds do I feel the welds just to know if the guy who made the things knew what he were doing and I can honestly say that a lot of stuff that is actually being used looks worse than your weld on that exhaust. I personally would suggest going down in amps because of how thin that matereal is. a rule of thumb is 25-30 amp per millimeter of wall thickness. the tricky part comes when you have two pieces of vastly different thickness. in that case did you do the right thing by starting at the flange and moving up to the pipe. you can also run 2T (wich means that you will have to hold the button pressed throughout the weld) and have a bit of slope down on the machine. some slope down means that you can release the button, have the amps go down over time and then hit the button again to bring the amps back up. it is a way of controlling heat wich can be really usefull in challenging welds. I would peronally rate that weld a 4/10, but when adding the handicap of being a complete newbie when it comes to welding will that bump up the score to an 8/10

That Tig welder will shock and burn the crap out of you. (Tig is my specialty),sweat and bad ground connections will teach you about electricity quickly. Be careful how you hang that torch when you are between welds. It will be hot enough to vaporize your shirt sleeve and turn the skin under it to "well done" in a second. I saw you almost brand your belly with that torch the first time you lit it up. Boro-silicate cups stay hot about 30-40 seconds after they stop glowing. Good luck and Practice makes perfect.

​@@cs-gj3yfwrong. Nitrous is extra air, propane is fuel. A diesel makes power with timed fuel injection and the correct amount of air. If it's making black smoke then you need more are, if it's not you need more fuel. Adding nitrous to a diesel making no black smoke is going to get you little/nothing. Adding propane is untimed fuel for when you can't get any more from the injection pump. It helps spool the turbo earlier too. I have a propane Injection system I built on my diesel Mercedes I tow with.

Both of you was extremely excited, we were too! Look, different gearing for a faster top speed and a small turbo addition, it'll spin up faster with a little power braking at start to build boost, then let it rip on a hot lap....

The diesel is really showing torque in this video. It has lots of get up and go but cuts out pretty quick. Cool video!

"Everybody Judge me. First weld on a tube." I'm not even remotely close to an expert with TIG welding, I can make metals stick together with mine and am self taught. John, your first tube weld looks better than my CURRENT tube welds, and I've been going at it for a couple years now lol. Good job sir. Also, this kart is AWESOME! Thanks for the long video once in a while, I know this takes a massive amount of time to capture and edit, but I really appreciate them!!
