Well, hopefully by next practice I will be getting acquainted with my Kohler F200, which I am getting with 5 total races on it since new. Now we can find out first hand about the Kohler. The price is right, so I am going for it. (Yes, BradW, I sacrificed Thunderhill to scrape the money together)
All I need now is a clutch...

Shoot man, if you can get a motor for the price of a race entry that is a helluva deal.
I've got a couple of clutches that may work for you.

I paid the second half of my balance last week, and it is due to arrive next Tuesday. So, I won't have it at the practice this weekend, which means I will still run the Animal at PC on the 31st. However, I hope to race it in June...

Brad, are you using the Dragginskin clutch for sprint tracks?

Brad, are you using the Dragginskin clutch for sprint tracks? I am not. I have considered it, but need to buy a 15 tooth driver for it. Due to my non-racing status the last 6 months I have forced myself to not spend ANY money on karting until I am back to racing regularly. |

OK. I am wondering if it would work well... The price is right...

To be honest if I had a Kohler i would run the Draggin Skin, because the Kohler is a couple of inches wider than a Yamaha. But a Kohler with a Draggin Skin and a Yamaha with a disk clutch are the same width.

Paulski - you gotta get that Kohler thing out to the track! I am seriously interested to see and hear it run. I was wondering if anyone would venture into semi-uncharted territory with the Kohler. Thanks for having the "Paulski's" to make this happen  . I heard from Mike Burris there are some folks in Wisconsin that have been developing them and got them to run fairly well. Mike claims the motors are very "peaky", but I would expect that from a Yami dealer. Look forward to mixin' it up with ya bud! -PV |

PaulV, I can't wait to see if I can run with you! I won't have it out tomorrow, but my plan is to start racing it in June. I hope the Kohler fairs well, and we can have some good racing, in the spirit of F200.

With any luck, my weak, underpowered Kohler F200 should arrive today...
;D

Do you know who built it?

Mike Clements was the builder.

Then it will be neither weak nor underpowered. You do realize that Mike Clements holds the world's speed record on a go kart right? I hope you have good brakes.
