Might be the rain. Looks like water to me.It would behoove you to find out what got into the cylinder and banged all those little pits into the top of the piston.
There is nothing wrong with the cylinder. Trust me lolIt would behoove you to find out what got into the cylinder and banged all those little pits into the top of the piston.
My dad always tells me about his blue duel engine gokart he had when he was a kid. It had only one clutch and the second engine had just a sprocket welded to the output shaft and the throttle wired wide open. He said one lap around the yard till the second engine fired up and then two or three laps on both engines till the chain snapped.. I’m definitely keeping it blue and I’m gonna try to build him the kart he had when he was younger. Except it’s hopefully gonna be way more reliable then the original.I like what you are doing so far, I hope everything works out the way you want.
Do you think you will paint it a different color?
fair warning those carbs are no fun to work on, buy a full rebuilt racing one or spend the time and be very careful rebuilding every 24 hours of riding time, unless you get lucky and get a few days out of it, i made a conversion to a modern briggs carb because i was tired of messing with it, sadly the engine is just sitting on a shelf right now, im going to put it on my drover again once i rebuild the frameGo power sports sells one inch sprocket hubs for super cheap. I’m gonna move the hub and engine mount on the kart already more towards the middle of the axle and make room on the back left of the kart for a second engine. View attachment 130499
