Today's engine on the bench for rebuild.
Correctly wired header bolts so that the tension is pulling in a clockwise (tightening) direction.

For the new swag. I appreciate you all and my life is better just knowing you.

It's not a new start/finish line but it's my view out the shop doors today and it's not too bad.

Coming soon.
A video on buying a used engine.
What do you lookat to make sure it's a fair deal and a solid engine. Mostly common sense but I will point out a few things.

I'm thinning the herd.
Looking for a cadet kart? Take a look at this.
It's one of my personal karts so it's been taken care of.

A Benik lefty with extremely low run time on the chassis. LO206 2021 date code.
Currently set up for kid kart but can change over to a red/green slide and Hilliard clutch.
$1800 firm add an alfano 6 $200 more.
Kart is available without engine/clutch $1200 .
Willing to deliver to Midstate or Gateway if paid for or nonrefundable deposit.

Five new on the bench today in various stages of preparation (every engine is completely disassembled) as well as a couple of rebuilds.
At MGM I am not putting out 10 engines a week. I'm putting out 2-3 rebuilds. New engines well, that varies but these Five will take 2-3 weeks. Why? Well I am the one with the name on the door. The one and the only person responsible for
1. Answering questions by phone, text, or messages
2. Filling parts orders which includes driving the order 22 miles one way if it needs to go out the same day or 50 miles to fill an order for a customer that needs the parts immediately.
3. Machining parts/ repairs for karters and a few locals.
4. Rebuilds
5. New builds
6. Break in on new engines ( takes literally hours) This is a bottle neck. Perhaps another dyno in the future?
7. R&D work (sparkplugs for one are on the agenda)
8. Ordering parts and supplies for my shop.
9. Equipment repairs, mowing etc
Now I'm not complaining just explaining why your new or rebuild takes as much time as it does. If you're looking for quantity I'm not your guy. If you value quality work, reasonable pricing and someone that will answer your questions then I'm your guy.
Thanks for choosing MGM and remember, if it was easy everyone would do it!🏁🏁🏁

And just like that, about the same time I made my spark plug video Briggs announces the new plug.

Just a little spark plug talk.
