We have a vintage karter in northern California that converted his 300 into a two stroke race kart and it works fine. The narrow steering hoop is a little narrower than an A bone but other than that it seems to be the same, it may have been narrower so small drivers could straddle the steering hoop....

Alan, I will echo Steve's advice, if its about winning go modern, in vintage everyone wins just for showing up. We do run hard and so does Steve and we have had a lot of fun dicing with him and others, but when it gets to close we back off, can't replace the equiptment or our bodies. We always start...

Ted, give him time, he is very busy, Randy Coons is the owner and was a kart racer in the 70's and '80's, shop is next door to Race Kart Engineering, married to John Motley's daughter. He will get back to you.

They are made of ...

And when using the ARP bolts they can be reused, and be sure you torque them to 115 in lbs. They are cheap insurance. All of the Copperhead and Vintage 820's come with the good rod bolts now, yours may have had the std socket head cap screws as it was one of the first engines out in the field. Did D...

Terry- I have a specification sheet for the 50006 and 500014, email me and I will send you copies. GEM made an adapter for the exhaust so you could run a Horstman or Quiet-one exhaust. Contact Vince Hughes, he had some of these engines and had one mounted on a Grand Prix at Riverside a couple of yea...
