Finally got a chance to get some work done.
Installed the disc brakes.
Also added some stronger pedals that seem to match the kart well.
The plan was not to spend a bunch on this kart because of other projects, but I like this kart. It's what I had when I was younger, so I got a few things that it needed.
Like a billet rod, thicker pushrods and an aftermarket camshaft.
I searched out a cam that was as close to the numbers as Mike Clements cams. I believe he knows his stuff.
The one I found was much cheeper. Not nearly the quality as Mikes, but the numbers almost matched.
In the past messing with briggs motors on race karts we filed on the dipper making it thinner. The more we thinned it the faster it seemed to run until it got so thin we were afraid it might break off, but it never did and it kept running great.
So on this rod I filed it a little. Here is the before and after pic.
