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:

= start stock enginePitch
= 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

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 it's actually not too bad for a first post
@No023 ok
@No023 I'm not exactly sure what your question is? Please reiterate.
Thank you, interesting thought.
I like it but it could probably use an exhaust pipe that faces down more than facing out
