Shame on me, my swingarm pivot bolt was getting rusty and was a bit stubborn getting out. I though I antisiezed that bolt yeas ago when I checked all my s/a bearings..guess not. Got the head off and going to send it to Larry Wiechman for the decompressor mod to help "bump start" the kart easier. I also plan on using the stock std. .4mm head gasket (normally I run the .2mm ) . This project will be all about smooth power delivery. Piston and cyl look mint, so don't need a top end. Next step is designing an engine mount.

Did you tell larry you were going to use that headgasket?
he recuts them to use the .010" cometic gasket.. "squish band" wise...

Thanks for the heads up, i've just got some basic info from Larry via email. I will get Larry on the phone and detail exactly what i'm looking for and ask the question.
lifeishp:
how close will the chain be to the cases with that 18t sprocket ?

I know nothing about shifter carts. Would a rev loc clutch work in this application?
