Ken, The 101 "double pumper" carbs (BDC16 or BDC24) are supposed to work with either gas or alky according to the Mac literature but in my experience they are very hard to tune on gas like you are finding. The carb is made to deliver a LOT of fuel so squeezing down the needles so it will work with g...

I have a 63 GP that was set up from the factory with a unimount. I wanted to use the long type mount so I made an adapter bracket that bolts to the unimount tab and extends over the frame tube with a tab to match the mount holes in the swing mount. It has worked like a champ for 4 years now. It is a...

Terry, You won't have to worry about little 'ol me, I could never keep up with your old yeller powered flyweight kart. My set up isn't very fast, but it looks cool anyway. Seriously, When I was running it at Avon a couple weeks ago, somehow I got going fast enough to I spin out into the grass and th...

Ran it at Avon and had it out last week chasing my grandson in his 49 powered kart. He could take me on the straight but I caught him in every corner. It seems to run pretty good. Of course I was backing up all the time...LOL Of course I'll probably never catch the "Black Widow" E65 Clinton that Chr...

I can only bring one kart....so it will be my '61 A-Bone with my slightly modified A490.
And yea it is all wired and cotter keyed up, just itchin' to take the track.

Sam P and I are all set for the Red Roof Inn in Clyde for $83 per night. We are both excited about TBO this year, I have my Clinton all tuned up and will see how it does at Avon this weekend. Next stop TBO. Sam will be bringing his dual again, what a contrast huh!! Anyway we will see you all there f...

The Avon event is coming up and we are trying to get a count of attendees and folks who will be purchasing the picnic supper Friday night. I have posted this on other sites so if you have already responded, no need to respond here but we sure would appreciate your input for planning purposes for the...

Custom built by the REAR founders I assume??

Very cool, the guy driving looks familiar.... Who do you think I am thinking of?

In the correct direction it definitely feels pretty hot, good low and high end so I think I got the porting just right on this one for a variety of tracks. I have a bench fixture (calibrated engine) where I can spin it and measure the dynamic timing. The PVL ignition fires at 30 BTDC with a standard...

A funny story….. So this winter I built this fully modified Mc8 intended to run in sportsman rear this season. I mounted it up last week on my ’63 Grand Prix and started her up and did some initial tuning on the block. Figured I was ready so I shut down until Wednesday. Went to Avon for a vintage pr...
