engine is a gsxr 750 carb'd model from a 1984 gsxr 750, not quite as powerful as the modern day 750's but should be plenty quick enough to push a little go kart along

the kart is a gearbox racing kart, with front and rear hydraulic disc brakes

this is how it looked when it was collected










everything stripped off bar the rear axle as its seized in place
chassis on axle stands ready to be cut and extended


we decided to extend it 500mm as that was the smallest distance we could get to allow the engine and exhaust to fit on the chassis twith the seat in position!

cut 3 lengths of tubing the same as the rest of the chassis, and slid them over the 3 bushes we made to make extending and keeping the kart inline as easy as possible. need another 3 bushes to continue anyway, no pics of those as yet, will sort sum out





seat rested in position



engine and seat rested in position




engine from behind with carb's on


got a bit carried away with the grinder later on and decided to just cut the rear drive shaft into a fiew pieces and remove it that way, got a spare anyway

will be making some more progress at the weekend
