dike 2 stroke

[timmytim]

Many moons ago I bought this retired racing go kart that had a 2 stroke motor on it. The man i bought it from said it was called a "dike" and it was from over seas. This go kart was scary fast and it was very loud and sounded like a real big chain saw. I sold the frame and the motor was lost in a move and i would love to have it back..I have looked online for this brand but never have had luck. Does any of my kart bros know of this brand?

bet you had fun searching "Dike go kart", could it have been a custom job? It may have been an old racer that used a mculloch engine (very pricy), in that case another one would be very expensive, the engines alone are 500-1000 on ebay.

dude i looked up the mculloch engines and infact what i had was a mculloch mac5 i dont know why he called it a dike.

Wow, how much did you pay for it? you had a treasure there, a twin engined mculloch race kart is worth some big bucks.

What was predominant color of engine?

 

[timmytim]

I traded a bmx bike with white mag wheels for it. The dude was tired of it cause u had to manually roll up the rope to start it..It was mostly a red color too

 

[Affair_driven]

Engine was red as well?

 

[timmytim]

thats what i mean the engine was mostly red

 

[Affair_driven]

Was not a Mac then. Macs were always yellow.

 

[timmytim]

i looked up the mac5's and it was the same engine this one i was looking at was solid chrome and mine was red

Typical MC kart engine

 

[timmytim]

yea that is it all right!!! but mine was red.. it was loud and fast

His could have been painted.. Its not that hard to do. So tim, how much did you pay for the kart?

 

[timmytim]

it was just a even trade for my bmx bike with white skyway maggs. he was tired of fooling with it cause u had to manually roll up the cord and it was hard to start but boy when it finally fired off everybody in the neighborhood knew it

Could kart have been a "Dart"?

 

[Kaptain Krunch]

Good deal!! Wow man, sucks you lost the engine, you coul have gotten well over $500 for it depending on shape.

 

[timmytim]

this dude was a hillybilly and was hard to understand he may have been saying dart i dunno i thought dike tho

 

[timmytim]

i wish i still had it, the cheese i stack now i could really set it up right ...

I am unfamiliar with that name. Dart was one of the biggest names in karting at one time.
