I'm just wondering how many 928 owners know what the hell this is -

Some sort of gokart - carbs - maybe vintage.

It looks like a V-twin, probably on your 250cc kart.

Look again. Does that look like a "V" configuration to you?

Pierre ry jy nou met al daardie bodyfiller rond, of wat het jy toe eindelik gedoen? Jy't so tjoepstil geword dat mens wonder wat die uiteinde was. Waarom deel jy nie jou resultate nie?

Got side-tracked by the superkart thing.

Fat Bully needs a rollcage, some wiring and such to be race ready. Watch out, I'll be the Mark Kibort of South Africa pretty soon.

Can't see the crank, but I assumed it was centered below the carbs. I have seen V-twins that look like that.

It's a Rotax 250cc twin, two-stroke, watercooled. Makes about 95 HP, yet it will match Porsche 956 lap times on some tracks. 250 Superkarts hold outright lap records at many tracks over the world, but for some unexplained reason this formula is not well known.

Powerband is from 8000 to 12000rpm. With the right exhausts it'll rev till it explodes.
