Go-Kart from the 60’s transformed in the 70’s, still works today, 50 years later! First was a 10hp anchor, then a 17hp Hirth, now a 22hp Chaparral. Sounds so cool!
hey thats nice. did you floor it? didnt pick up on the specs of this. is it 500cc? didnt seem to accelerate that fast, i was thinking it would be crazy fast since it has snowmobile engine there but cool anyways. can it get wheels spinning as going for take off?
Its a fan cooled 292cc from 1972, was told it made 22 hp. Its probably not set up for maximum performance, gearing, carb, clutching was never dialed in. It doesn't spin the tires flooring it. I was about 13 years old when we'd use it all the time. Its was super fun on a frozen lake with just an inch or 2 of snow. Would do 360's and keep on going.
Yes, its in need of engine #4, with 100hp! I have ideas of building a new kart out of a 600cc motorcycle, using the cycle wheels and tires too. I always thought it would be fun to have a kart you could manually shift, and spin the tires. Some people build "cycle-karts" using motorcycle wheels and tires and make them look like race cars from the 20's. But they usually but a little Honda engine in them used for power washers and such.

ah sorry, you had description for this. it seems to be 22hp its understandable for an old machine. nowadays it seems that every sled has over 100hp
