hi everyone friend of mine picked up a kart with mc2 on it ..hes looking for info on them ..i cant say as i no to much about them ..so im no help ..thanks all ..

It was McCulloch s answer for "A" bushing in 1962. They only made it for a couple months . It was very fast compared to the Clintons and other bushing engines. The bushing class was dropped and that ended the Mc 2 . So your friend has a pretty unusual piece.

Steve,
I'll send you the parts list for the MC-2

thanks terry i couldnt seem to find out to much for him ..i new it was a bushing motor and im thinkin pretty rare ..the person is only 27 and just getting into karts ..seems like very knowledgable young fellow ..

Steve,

I have a few old karting magazines - I'll check and see if I have any articles on that engine

Steve, The mc 2 had a fixed head and seems to me some of the ports were not drilled. When I was a kid we raced one and eventually bought a Mc 7 block and transferred all the guts out of the Mc 2 into the 7. The Mc 2 was a lot faster than the Clintons and the Mc 7 ran good till we bought a Mc 8 in 63.

thanks guys ..i told him since i new nothing about them ..and not sure if rare ,vauable, common,uncommon ,run it dont ,dont run it ,bla bla bla ..i gave him a suggestion .. maybe not tryin to run it till find out more about them ..i have plenty of mac motors he can use till we figure this thing out ..would it keep up in the 49 class .?? thanks again everyone ..

Steve,
FYI,
The Mc2 is a 6cu-in engine so it wouldn't be allowed to run in the Mc49 class even though it is a bushing engine and probably not much faster than a 49er. That baby is better left on the bench as it is pretty unusual, give the guy one of your 49ers for the 49 class. I think we may have a good sized 49 class at Avon at least I hope so. There were a ton of them at Barnesville, definitely a fun class even though the cheaters with Mac450 saw motors disguised as 49's always run up front but isn't is always the same story. Some guys always have to win no matter what.
I think I have a spec sheet on the Mc2, I'll look for it and post it here if I can find it.

thanks scott ,i suggested slapin a little paint on it setting it on a shelf. motor is very very clean inside..the young fellow has pretty good head on his shoulders he agreed ..im almost positive hes not going to actually race it but for sure bringing it to the big one .. it came on a go kart 800 that was listed on craigslist forever in PA..450.00 bucks ...!!
