Vintage 1961 Dart "Road Runner" Go Kart With West Bend 820 Restoration Phase 3

This is the first start up of our Dart Kart after removing the clone engine. The frame has been stripped and repainted. For power I built a stock West Bend 820 that runs on gas. The header is an old Azusa megaphone that we got with the kart when it was given to us back in the mid 1960's. I've added a reproduction cap to quiet it down a little. The clutch is a Noram centrifugal clutch made for US820 racing. The gearing is 10 68 which will give us a top speed around 52mph. I've added a reproduction Chilton seat back tank and Go Power Type 2 wheels. We still have the Go Power Type 1 wheels but they need a lot of work to restore and that is a project for the future. Hope you enjoy the video, I'll add a couple of clips of us racing it at the Barnesville GA Vintage Karting Association event.
