| This is the the kart engine info page...obviously. Any engine developments and photos are here, so keep checking back often ok. Obtained a decent fuel tank off an old lawnmower. I'll get a pic of it soon, it's just a standard square box though, so use your imagination. |

| Picture of the radiator. It hooks up closely to the front of the engine, just above the exhaust ports. yes, it's tiny, no bigger than A4 sheet of paper (i think even smaller), but it still does the job. apparently these engines don't even run that hot, so should be sweet. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The exhaust pipes with expansion chambers, the gold mufflers and the airbox. the gold is coool, but both of them have decent scratches on them from the crash the bike was in. i won't be using the airbox, but thought i'd take a pic anyway. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This is the temporay stand i welded up. It just holds on at the engine mounts, and makes a good stand for testing and starting and what not. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This is how i've got it set up at the moment for running purposes. The fuel tank is an ex-beer bong, with some tricky hosing a mate hooked up. Works well. With just the black tube with petrol in it (none in the tank), the motor can idle for at least 5 minutes, so that gives an idea of how much/little fuel the motor uses. |
