The Start of the Restoration

These show the start of the restoration.

Up on the horses and ready for stripping. No fancy $200 kart stands here. :-)

Engine off! and notice the 40 year old Goodyear Blue Streak slicks.

Engine tear down. Dad still has all the kart "dedicated" tools. The Fly Wheel wrench was a lifesaver! (I had several photos of the complete engine tear down but they were accidentally deleted... :-( )

It takes tools, big and small, and some 'Blaster'

Clutch, without the front plate. Dad remembered at the end of the last race (1975) the final couple laps had "rough/clangy" sounds coming from the engine. Actually, the front plate had broken or slipped off... Amazing it did not burn up.

My memories of these parts were formed before I was 8years old. Amazing how SMALL the actually are.
