@dylansg400

ROTAX.

built from Bombardier, not Yamaha.

Why would they want to use a 250cc anyway?

@Mrengineerwannabe1 Why not?? i use a 250 2 stroke rotax engine on my kart.

[Mrengineerwannabe1]

@TheEngland72

Nothing, just when are you going to be able to use all those raw ccs'?

[TheEngland72]

@Mrengineerwannabe1 Well to tell the truth it is mega hard work driving it, and with a 6 speed box theres lots too do!!!!! but it is very rewarding!!! and becouse theres never more than 2 or 3 at the kart track, every one comes and has a look!!

[mavtattoo]

[jiawkose]

[tpvalley]

[tpvalley]

[jangho9]

Wow it sounds like a big bore 2 stroke. Maybe a yz490 soundy :) ?

[pong218]

WTF! Me and my friends just started to build a gokart like this, nearly the same engine but our is a little bit newer (1972).

[tpvalley]

@pong218

its a lot newer than 1972!

I would guess late 80's.
