Absolutely Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! .......Gus
This is easily the most awesome kart restoration i have seen. That thing is beautiful.
My friend & I used to race karts at the Bill Witt asphalt race track in Corpus Christi Tx & the dirt track outside of Sinton Texas. They had 100cc Yamaha 2 strokes, with a centrifical clutch, they also shifter karts with with Honda CR & Kawasaki KX motorcross 2 stroke water cooled engines, 60cc, 80cc, & 125cc, all of these has 6 speeds. We would also race dirt tracks, they used a different karts for the dirt tracks, if you could afford them, & the poor guys would cut the treads on their street slicks just like the real outlaw midgets. They would also run the back wheels & tires on the front, that were bigger in diameter & wider, which raised the kart in the front, & also gave them more grip on the dirt, especially around the turns. I remember the two straights were 1/16 of a mile 330 ft each, & the turns were 1/32 mile 165 ft each, making the dirt track a whopping 3/16 of a mile. I had a clark frame with a honda cr60 aircooled engine w/6 speeds. I remember my kart had the biggest sproket you could put on it without it hitting the asphalt/dirt, but it still lacked torque. Once you got going that thing would scream. I remember Ronnie clocked me at 56 mph in the srtaight on the dirt track. I would get to the sixth gear at the end of the straight, & down shift to 4 before coming out of the turn I'd shift up to 5th then 6th almost 60 mph, the kawi's were water cooled & had a little more power, I gave em hell though. The year was 1985, my engine was an 83 cr60 aircooled. Those were the days.
A piece of art.....
While the video seemed long, it was NICE to see all the parts and assembly from the rolling views for a change. Great job with the steady camera motion. Nice looking kart!
When I was racing, my 1963 Dart Kart Grand Prix had a SN metal tag riveted on number panel.
Extremely pretty setup. Never liked Margays (although they were very successful) Was a Bug Stinger fan. Early 70's when I raced karts (American Reed Light with Mac 91B's) the B-Bombs I remember being 22hp running alky. Awesome power, instant response, extremely quick and quite reliable. Oh yes and ridiculously loud! In a twin setup the problem was excessive wheelspin even with oil bath clutches. Only for the brave.
That. Kartis a dream cart
You can bet that baby was a handful when it came on the pipe. thanks for sharing .
Love it, takes me back.
BEAUTIFUL WORK OF ART ,,, LOVE TOO HAVE ONE MYSELF
back in 69-71 I had a dart kart, then bought a new Marga y new breed race kart, right out of the box, I was a winner the first night out, won my heat, and won the feature event , raced new Egypt n.J. wall stadium, pine Brook speedway, best handling, easy set up, still have for show now, just as shiny & polished like when new, my name :: mark . trench.
My understanding is that this kart was restored mainly for show, since restoration, it has never been started or put on the track, yet anyway.
Sick
looks just like it did on the back cover of Karter News in 1970 -- just sitting there looking pretty. post some vids of it tearing up some asphalt!
simply Badass
Gorgeous

I think you are missing the point here, this is a restored old School dual engine Kart.
Looks like rotary valve intake timing.
I got to have one where can I get one
Where’s the best place to find vintage Karts and buy them?
Those front brakes are not dangerous if the bias is adjusted properly, and there already is 2 brake discs and calipers on the rear axle. The seat on a Margay Newbreed is part of the frame, it can't be replaced ... but then, you are missing the point, it's a perfectly restored show kart and will probably never be driven again.
Does Vintage Power Sport build turn key karts for the public.. if so, what kind of price would we be talking about to build a kart like this and what kind of speed would this machine be capable of? Thank you for your time...
Nice kart
This is an older video but i build vintage carts and would like to know if this machine is still around? I possibly might be interested in a purchase?
Is this a margay new breed? The one before the cheetah?
What type of frame is it ?
Now this is some porn right here!
I was intrigued by the 2 motors, but I am curious - Wouldn't it be possible to have one engine for each of the wheels in stead of making them work together? So you could always have a little more speed on the outer wheel for superior handling. It might be a nightmare to dial in, but I have ofter played with that idea of doing that. Maybe through some wires from the wheel tensing up the throttle on the opposite side of where you steer by a small fraction.
Any and all with insight or thoughts on this are welcome to share their perspective.
+plinpain I have the set up your talking about, one motor for each rear wheel with no live axle. Its tends to give more understreer than a go-kart with a live axle in my opinion. What would work best, is two throttles, one for each engine. This way if your doing a left turn you would throttle up the right rear engine, and visa versa. The reason I have not done this is because I'm too scared to steer, and throttle with my left. My right hand is used for steering and shifting. You can see my go-kart here in youtube (Homemade two engine Go-kart). I am thinking of doing it, but since I'm only using this go-kart for drag racing its not a priority yet. But You nailed it, it's a great idea. How about a seat that can move from left to right with some kind of mechanism that would take advantage of the lateral G forces. A lever coming out from under the seat to a cam lobe that would tense one throttle cable more than the other. Can you picture such a device? If your turning left the pressure on the seat would give your right rear engine more power through a tighter throttle cable.
@@juliolausell4399 I know I'm 7 years too late, but you could always have two throttle pedals side by side on the right. Place them close enough to be able to press both pedals with your right foot between them, but far enough apart to press each individually moving your foot side to side while it's rested on the heel.
what engines do you have on your shifter kart.
andrew howard not every racing kart is a shifter. A shifter has a Gearbox, these are IAME b-bomb engines.
35 to 40 hp each of those engine
what are you trying to prove
Go-karts that have too much weight in the back have a lot of under steer. I hate that. This is a beautiful kart, but the driver should be sitting almost over the front wheels. Am I like the only person that knows this? Feel free to comment.
julio lausell - what are you talking about? With that much power to weight ratio, you can send the kart into oversteer by flexing your big toe. Each of those Komet B-Bombs puts out roughly 20 HP each. That's 40 HP total. and all the weight is concentrated within the wheelbase. If you put a bunch of weight on the front, you wouldn't have any traction and the kart would be beyond tail happy.
I should have never said almost over the front wheels, I should have said further forward. I made my own go-kart frame. My feet are forward of the front wheels, my ass is at the center of the kart. It handles pretty good. My go-kart has two engines, One is from a 90cc four wheeler three speed with reverse. The other engine is a 6.5hp lawnmower engine flat head with a belt drive, a Vertical to horizontal. Both engines work at the same time. It ran 50mph, not bad for a homemade go-kart. I plan to go 55mph soon. I'm trying to post a video of it running last week at the races held in my town of Aguadilla, Puerto Rico USA. Most of the parts came from the dumpster near my house. Getting back to handling, a 50/50 front to rear ratio always handles best. P.S. at 50mph those none race tires look like they are going blow apart.
+voxnut you are mistaken is 40hp each lol
julio lausell they aren't "non race tires" this is a vintage kart that's designed to fit in a specific vintage class. This isn't some neighborhood cruiser. These b-bombs have serious power
