Multi Cylinder Kart

[sundog]

Just wondering why we haven't seen a twin cylinder kart engine. Horizontally opposed would have almost no vibration.

RWYB classes , some have used snowmobile engines .

You need to check out the super karts that were at Daytona super fast for sure later Chuck.

The twin cylinder BRC250 engines, and the like are $10,000+ That's the primary reason you don't see them (or that they're banned in some orgs.) I'm kinda' curious why people aren't using PWC engines...

And I still cast my vote for the "other" predator - the V-Twin with something like 22HP out of the box, with no mods at all, just ad gas and oil and go.... Think of it as an "economy" twin class.

Or not so economy if an association allows removal of governors as a first step, and that morphs into changes to cams, carbs and internals after outfits like ARC make bullet proof flywheels, forged aluminum rods and whatever else becomes necessary.

I think that would be cool. Idk much about the bigs engines on go karts but how do you put the power to the axle? Do people put a big belt drive on it or what? I dont know anything about these.

Ive got a buddy who ran a 2 cylinder snowmobile engine in his RWYB kart. Vibrations are the least of your problems on a dirt kart.
