Pics won't work from my phone any more. Still working on it.
But I did do some riding today. This yard kart just don't feel right at high speed. I got it going this fast and slowed down. I ran out of road and nerves. Maybe a better road I would stay on it...but not today. Previously I had it up to 47, now it easily made 51. That is almost a 10 percent increase in top speed.
And that is just a base number because I think it has a good bit more in it.
How does that sound for a mild upgrade?
ARC rod, billet flywheel, Mikuni carb, Hot 265 cam...
Let me know what you all think.

Looks like the boss has fixed the photo upload problem, for me anyway...this is a picture of the land yacht right before my midnight run last night.
Imagine trying to hold this thing on the road at 50mph.

just a quick video of my out in the back yard turning dead dinosaurs into noise and making the neighbors proud 
It was a no-choke start. I'm not sure if I like the way the choke works on the Mikuni or not. It seems more like fuel enrichment versus a choke anyway. This thing will start without it anyway, I just have to pull it through a few times. I just try to be careful to bring it up on compression before I pull. It will kick back sometimes.
