Re: need more suggestions for carb

Some carbs can't pull all of the air in the line and get the fuel to the carb. On our 4 cycle engines with a remote fuel tank sitting on the floor pan and a fuel pump half way between the tank and the carb it has a hard time priming the pump. We put a piece of fuel line over the vent on the fuel tan...

Re: gears for Barnsville?

Good starting point is a 9-62. Depending on tire circumference and your weight it could vary up or down a couple of teeth and how hard you want to turn your Macs. I ran a 62 or 63 and it would turn my 91A or 92 around 10500 give or take a few RPM.

Re: Hello Rear Engine Karts

Just a guess, but didn't the early Putt Nik karts have scrub brakes and some came with either Clinton or Briggs engines?

Re: Gear Ratio For Barnesville, GA.

Single Mac with 350 lbs total weight can carry a 6.50 gear ratio. Twins can run a 6.40 gear. For the more robust racer like Dan a 7.00 -7.20 is better. Track length is ---------- Front straight length = 348 feet Back straight length = 491 feet Total track length = 1385 feet or 0.26 miles. Hope this ...

Re: frame i.d please

First picture looks like one a friend of mine picked last summer. Steering is offset to the left and 2 bearing rear axle although yours are missing. Look in the right front spindle mount. His has LT16 and a serial number. Suppose to be the 16 Kart design from Margay is what we could find out.
