Go-Kart Alley the Series

[Orange Krate]

Bullitt motor crapped the bed. Got a new welch plug, had it running, ready to try the reverse burnout. Cranking it up and she locked up tighter than a snare drum.

Some junk come loose around the valves and scored the he// out of the cylinder. Broke the piston getting it out. Contemplating boring it out or transferring the cam shaft and plate to another block.

Might be able to sleeve it....what size is the piston/engine?????

 

[KartFab]

That sucks. I don't have a spare block but I have spare 5 hp parts of u want them.

 

[Orange Krate]

I swapped the cam shaft and cover plus the gas tank and carb BACK to motor they came from...that one that had the governor come apart and throw a piece through the block. JB Weld is setting up now. We'll see if she runs tomorrow.

In the meantime, I put together a little video.

The NEW Bullitt engine with reverse gear conversion runs like a champ!

Tomorrow a reverse burnout...hopefully

 

[Orange Krate]

Reverse burnout success! Back to body work. Paint next time it warms up...whenever that is.

Congrats on the burnout......looks like we're gonna be cold for awhile...

Pieces of flair welded on. Now to clean and prime. It's looking like Saturday will be perfect for painting!

Aye, it is that.

In a preproduction meeting, we discussed making color corrections in post production to make the quality of each episode better resemble its counterpart from back in the day.

 

[itsid]

that explains why I had a different shade in mind
TY!

I'm sure viewers will not care much about exactly matching colors at all..
the karts themselves make perfectly clear what they're meant to be;
and if your storylines are good, the rest is just minor cosmetics.

if you can adjust colors in post production slightly.. even better,
but I don't think it's too important at all.
