paint wise engine mods wat do u do?
The hoses are for the fuel pump and to the carb....I am using 1/4" hose.....
Paint: I stripped and blasted the frame, welded the cage to the frame and at all points of where it bolted together originally, ground and smoothed the welds...primed it with an automotive 2 part epoxy primer (DP40) and then sprayed it bright red.....
Engine mods right now are a custom made question mark (?) style step down exhaust, custom made intake manifold, mikuni 22 mm carb (26mm mikuni coming next week).....Briggs fuel pump....removed the govenor
Right now with the 22mm carb the kart will almost pull the front wheels from a dead dig......The engine is still running lean so I am going with a 26mm next week....
There are some more pics in the Manco section under "My manco almost done"
