Sent you a PM, I have drawings for the GK1200. Not an easy frame to make though as it's all one piece front axle to front axle, I would make it in two or more pieces with a join behind the seat.

How does the key work? do you have a part number for that?

Many reasons, I know I can make more power with this motor, but I don't want to go all the way with an expancion chamber, since it won't fit in with the look of the kart, the standard exaust looks boring, and I like to make stuff, this gives me another reason. I have actualy found the math...

Hay guys, I found this on the net and just wanted to share it. http://www.datafan.com/TunersHandbook/2-strokefiltered.html you can save it to your pc as a pdf here http://www.pdfdownload.org/free-html-to-pdf.aspx

Sorry for all the questions quys:o But I want to do this build realy well, so I want to take advantage of your knowlage and not just rely on y own theories. First of my motor is a current model suzuki 4hp two stroke piston ported motor ex lawn mower motor with only a couple hours use. I believe...

Wow, I love those karts, vintage. Try not to mod the frame or any origional parts, would be a real shame. Looking forward to pics!!

Cheers!:D

Thought I might make a log of my current kart project. This is being built to the exact specs as published Jan 1960 in mechanix illustrated. The side rails took ages to make, as I had to file the fillet real long for the joint, the bends were fun to do and only took a couple of hours. wheels...

Regarding my origional post about the future availability of the two stroke lawn mower, I have heard back from most of the major manufacturers regarding this issue, and they all say the same, and that is that they sell two strokes and don't intend on changing that.:wai::cheers2: Guess that is a...

What about chainsaws? they would have to be two stroke, immagine how tiring it would be holding a 100cc 4 stroke in your hands for a fiew hours, not to mention the torqe effect when you rev it:ack2: If you are talking about kawasaki, honda, yamaha and suzuki. 2004 I think it was they all came...

I think the same as russ, I'm a vintage karter, and to me the two stroke is the only way to go. For children or people who just want to putt around, you can't beat a 4 stroke. But to me, for outright speed, it's gotta be a two banger, lighter, you can mod them cheaply, you can draw a lot of...

Well through investigation I have found that indeed victa seem to produce more two strokes than four strokes, and masport has the iron horse, and russ says briggs and stratton have a two banger. Anyone know what other companies are making them?

My hope was restored, then taken away just as quickly lol. Then it looks to be true, if you like two strokes then time could be running out:mad2: However this guy is selling masports http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=297210746&permanent=0 Maybe just some of the companies are...

WOW, thanks man, they are exactly what I am after....... hehehe, not realy, your deal is safe:thumbsup: have you taken a look under villiers on TM? they are always comming up (the little two strokes), might be ok for a kart?
