Perfect timing!

The last post described Randy and I struggling with the clutch.  Finally, at the last moment it was fixed. 

Ann gave me a small sack with more of Dad's karting items.  Here are some pix of those items: 

Dad's stop watch.  I can't think of many items that go back as far in my memories.  
This was gift to Dad a few years ago.  It is about 4" long and comes with a "air gun" for changing out parts and tires. 

This is the envelope with all the items below.

Receipt for a carb and clutch shoes -- this carb goes for $10-$15 today on ebay
 These items apparently came with a clutch shoes that was sent from Chicago.
Page of owners manual 

Parts illustration with more detail than the one I already have.
This confirmed that there needs to be a spacer placed on the crank.  It is part 1012, top center 

Parts list and PRICING on back of parts illustration.  

Installation instructions with lots of good info.
 This is a hand-written note from "someone" a the shop where the carb and clutch shoes came from.  There are eleven pages, all with wonderful and needed instructions.  I have not shown the letterhead for a particular reasons.
Just a sample page with instructions on how to mix alcohol fuel. 
Point-by-point instructions for installing clutch.  I started laughing when I saw this.  Really could have used this on the last two work days!  But it does confirm what we figured out.

These items were in another envelope from G.E.M. Products.  They are still around.
