Reviving old Kawasaki KX250 drag engine?

I´m starting to get the feeling for this engine again =)
And if i´m smart i can make use of it easily with the new projectbike that will get the SGM kart engine.
Help me decide, it´s some machining still to do, otherwise it´s just buying a piston and it should be complete again.
I ran it in 212cc version with an old Mikuni VM44 carburetor.

yes yes yes! 2strokes are the best!

Yes if it doesn't hurt pockets to much fix it up, that "old" clutch setup is still Cool, 2 is better than nun ⚙️👽👍

Just some time and a piston, and it should be running, need to take it apart though, as there is pieces of piston still left in the crankcase/mainbearings.

Yes definitely 👍

[@Patricks_Projects]

I´m leaning towards it ;)

It seemed to be a l8ghtweightoption to me but obviously its heavier than the tzr 250 😳 The concept to be used as an alternative to the gokart engine sounds very neat. A clear GO from here to get that greens monster screaming🤩

Nice, thanks =)
I´m still debating with myself about reed or rotating disc as induction system.
Reed is the easy way.

[@RACE.KART.PRODUCTS]

yes I want to see what you do with a reed intake

[@Patricks_Projects]

It´s coming, in short: i will weld a new one in front of the engine

hehe,, one thing is for sure though,, it IS a heavy bastard.
It weighs more than the TZR250 engine.
