Why not upload to Photobucket and have them resize for you ?

Resize them to 800-1000 wide. This size works well for most people to view the photos. Any smaller and it is hard to see the details.  ;)

I bought the carb intake from agk for go carts... Its round down to the D shaped of the HF engine... Cut that and just an elbow on (hose) with a inner pipe to stop it from caving in.   It needs a sharp 90 made really... Around 1 1/2" if I remember correct.
  That let us install the motorcycle type carb...that ones a 26mm whizzer carb

worksman wheels are on the way for this...so its gonna have to be a 26" cycle now.  we will probably use the whizzer fenders from a newer ambassador if we cannot locate a good set.  We found a beat up rear and front for the brackets and salvaged the taillight braket parts....the light itself is toast.
  Now we can just source out 26" tires more commonly used instead of the cokers.

Coker also makes the more common size 26" simplex tire.  Will you use this, or a whizzer or bicycle tire?

bought a new set of Ambassador wheels, fenders, handle bars,brakes, controls and cables from Whizzer for a little over 200. great to deal with. They took them off a new bike.

Their number is 877 944-9937.

Good luck

P.S. axels are the only problem being only 10mm, made spaces.
