Re: Kurtis Krart

Dave,

I have an unrestored Kurtis Kart in good condition. It has been cleaned up but not restored. Send me your email and I will send the photos. My tank is rectangular not round. Mine came with a WB580 but I put a 700 on it.

Best regards,

Scott Grundfor

Re: Kurtis Kraft go kart

Kyle, tried to upload some photos of my Kurtis but no luck. You can email me at sgrundfor@gmail.com and I will send the photos. I believe mine is a 1959. It is un-restored original and has the live axle with a WB580. I have a photo of one with a Koenig twin. Yours appears to be a dead axle one. Scot...

Re: Maico/Engray 175cc Kart engine

Yes, The Maico is mounted behind the seat. It was about 75 degrees the day I stuck the piston. Probably would be a good idea to have some sort of ducting? I'm not sure but it may have originally been run on Alcohol. It was put away in the early 1960's. When I got it there were twin flatback carbs in...

Maico/Engray 175cc Kart engine

Hi All, Does anyone know how many degrees BTDC this engine should be set? It supposedly has 11 to 1 compression. I will try to download ad showing engine. I think it is about 26 degrees BTDC. It is a piston port induction. I stuck (melted a corner of the piston top) a piston last time out and don't ...

Re: 1959 Kurtis Kraft Kart

Tom, Thanks, great photo of the Konig Kurtis. Do you have any other shots? How did the kart perform? Must have a ton of power but handling? My Kurtis has torsion bars and friction shocks front and rear. I assume you set the torsion bars to provide equal distribution of weight on all 4 corners. How d...
