Yea, the weight is ok, I still have to buy a lead factory! I mount 65lbs for Rotax, and it looks like 40lbs to 60lbs for 206. My partner weighs a buck 20 and my daughter weighs a buck 10, that’s gonna be fun. Looks like it’s time at least one more electric kart stand. 🙂
I’ve gotten a couple more calls in the last week. Both are committed, and looking for chassis.
Folks, if you have a fairly modern sprint chassis you looking to get out of your garage, now might be the time. I know of 3 folks who are looking.
I also updated the totals.

i have 3 2013 chassis sitting in my garage looking for a home let me know price ranges and i might be able to work something outI just talked to a kart dealer that is also a Briggs dealer in the northwest. He told me Briggs told him they have sold 4 months worth of LO206 motors at the 2013 per month sales rate in the last 3 weeks.
How about this coming weekend for trying to get several karts on The Track? I know Jim’s is there. Rumor has it Richard Hensley might have one or two. Zak Deiter’s should be approaching completion, assuming he found a motor…. My motor arrives tomorrow, clutch Thursday, and roller is sitting in the garage. A few beverages later and mine should be together before the week is out.
This coming weekend appears to be a carbon copy of last – wet Saturday, awesome Sunday.

Ah, I see that I had a race in the calendar wrong. The RtR rust remover race is 4/13 not 4/20. I have updated the calendar.
Actually, I’m not sure which source to believe. The announcement on the karter viewtopic.php?f=17&t=7120 shows April 20th as the rust remover race. The calendar at http://www.thetrack.us/apps/calendar/showMonth?calID=6994411&year=2014&month=3 shows the race on April 13th.
Can anybody clarify?
Richard,
My mistake. I did not change the original post. The Track moved the date to the 13th so it did not conflict with Easter Sunday. April 13th is the correct date.
Thanks
Mine is coming together a tad slower than expected but should be on the track Sunday given this cool Saturday weather we have on tap.
Left/right seat placement is the biggest thing. I have the Burris mount. The driver gear is inboard with the way I have the motor mounted and the clutch installed. The left factory seat strut after bending over so the seat clears the clutch needs re-welded where it attaches to the frame due to me fatiguing those welds. I left the right side frame mounted seat strut alone and it will get a 1″ spacer between it and the seat. That is how far I had to move the seat over – not bad all things considered.
The chain clears the right seat strut and crossmember just fine. The sprocket is on the right side of the carrier, the thin side, though clears the inner bearing mount on the frame (only running 2 outer bearings BTW no inner on the right).
If I had more right movement of the motor on a different motor mount and ran the driver on the outside, then the chain would not clear the right strut. I’d have to move the motor like 2.25″ more outboard – not sure that is a good idea.
Moving the seat left is the only feasible solution with this chassis (Arrow X2) without cutting the seat struts off or running a super wide motor mount that hangs the motor our another 2.25″ to the right or so.
I am running a split sprocket, though with the ease of axle replacement once you get used to moving them in and out I may go with a solid rear gear. The splits are kinda a PITA to get lined up correctly nice and round and centered up.
Comments on a super wide slotted mount appreciated as another way of skinning this cat.
Leo, we had no problem with our last 2 installs. Used the 5 degree Burris mount and ran the 35 chain outboard from the engine. I did have to use the max offset available from the Burris mount but have plenty of strut clearance on the chain. Did not not have to bend the struts at all.
To get the Briggs on the Kosmic cadet I had to flip the clutch and run the chain inboard. With that set-up the seat ended up fairly offset to the left but the corner weight was really good on the scales.
I attached a couple photos of a senior 206 we finished up yesterday.
