Go kart engines

Info:

I was working on restoring one of my old projects and I got carried away making the engine look really cool. I decided I liked it too much not to make it its own project. They are both not to scale. But have a lot of parts that resemble the real thing. For instance the crank case, cylinder, spark plug, muffler/ header pipe, intake manifold, carburetor, working throttle valve, choke valve, air filter, oil check stick, gas tank, fly wheel, cooling fan, and centrifugal clutch. Well, I guess I ended up listing everything. As the name implies there is a stock version and a performance version you can research the differences if you want, the basics are the stock version is a little weaker, the performance version is a little more powerful and obviously has some performance parts. I sure hope you enjoy this, I sure enjoyed building it.

Controls:

  • Activate1= start performance engine
  • Activate2= start stock engine
  • Pitch= throttle

Notes:

  • Feel free to mount these on any of your contraptions although please credit me in the description, thank you.

  • The controls are not set in stone, when you put one of these engines on something you could change the controls to meet your needs. Cooling fan Activate1-8, Engine block activation group1-8, throttle control Pitch, throttle, roll, VTOL etc.

  • This is not modeled after any specific engine, just a standard go kart engine.

  • I was inspired to building a go kart to house this engine, it is coming along quite nicely expect to see that in the near future.

Enjoy!

    @No023 I'm not exactly sure what your question is? Please reiterate.

    I like it but it could probably use an exhaust pipe that faces down more than facing out
