These are a couple engines I built for My Grandson and Chris M's granddaughter.
Based on the D-44 Saw powerhead, these are 72cc and completely stock. Home built manifolds feed the small Tilly carbs into a stock mac reed plate.
The power heads are excellent rebuilds and the rest are from parts laying around my shop that needed repair. The patched up Mc20 shrouds are a nice touch, don't you think?
Of course, Chris and I will have to duke it out with these to make sure they are safe and slow enough for the grand kids. Heck, maybe we will start a new class.

Scott,
Those engines are awesome! That's just what we need in the Jr. class!! You get my vote for Junior Class Tech Advisor in one of our organizations

!
By the way, where did you get the Super Cool decal? I need one for a "Super 250" that will soon be on my son's kart.

Scott- I just paged thru some old mags, reminded me that Mac once built a bushing-class engine, the MC-2. Know anything about that one? Sounds ideal for low-powered kids engine.

I had one. It was just a bushing main bearings & rod bearing engine. I thought it was cool.
