Hi Brian; I started my adventure in karting with a Sears kart and an Super AH 61 engine. Never came close to any wins or anything better than third, with the Power Products. but did have a lot of fun. There was a guy in the Air Force at a town close by that had a pair of the Super AH82's fully modified and had the cylinder head girdles on them ,he was really one you had to work hard to beat. Moved from there to the 580 & 700 West Bends and then became a Mcculloch saw shop owner and finished up my career in the mid 70's with dual 91B Macs on a Rupp Chapperel. Always wanted to drive a fully modified set of dual 820 West Bends. You might try the Vintagekarting.com site with this question as they still run and deal in a lot of these engines and karts. They had the Winternationals the first of this month in California and Georgia and I attended the one in Ga and these guys are still running some strong equipment. Nothing like the smell of methanol/castor oil and a little nitro to perk up the smell glands. Don't expect to get much of that equipment cheap. There are a few of the old style H-47 on e-bay occasionally. Occasionally there is a dual intake for a Power Products on e-bay also.

Good looking setup. Are those 6.1's or 8.2's? Do I see a dual tilliston carb set up on it? What make of chassis is that? I was hoping some of the sportsman class karts would show up for the Winternationals in Ga, but none did. Mostly 101-Mc and 820 West Bends and a couple of the KT 100 sidewinders. Glad you guys can keep the sport alive. I am too old now for anything but bench racing and cheering you guys on. Keep at it. Gene
