Re: Vintage Racing Go Kart Find !!!!!!
Holy cow! Direct drive - no clutches! My old twin engine (drum brake) go-kart is sitting back in N.E. Ohio garage of my childhood best bud's garage. We were partners on it and had the MOST fun possible with that old ride. Every Saturday our parents took turns hauling us to the Canfield Fairgrounds in one of our station wagons for a day full of go-kart hot rodding...ALL day long!!! Good times!!

Re: Vintage Racing Go Kart Find !!!!!!
It was built to go fast for sure. Aluminum sprockets and axle shaft. The "mufflers" are Palmini "tuned" headers!

Re: Vintage Racing Go Kart Find !!!!!!
Nice details. Do u think that the disc brakes are original or added later? Very progressive!

Re: Vintage Racing Go Kart Find !!!!!!
The brake is original when it was built .Here a pic from a 1960 kart magazine .Shows that you could buy a disc set up .. I would hate to have to stop it with a band brake .....<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: mockingbird812</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Nice details.

Re: Vintage Racing Go Kart Find !!!!!!
Mccullochs were the hot engines in the late 60s but a tad too pricey for me. My buddy and I did finangle a West Bend 2 cycle that was pretty fast and had a ball with it.
Great video - thanks for [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/  [/img] posting!!
