    CR125 motor parts can be ordered from any Honda dealer, local brick and mortar or on line.

    Since tIme, money, and your wife are involved here, I’d haul the whole lot over to Unser and let them sort things out before making the pilgrimage to a track over an hour away.

    Hard to tell if those motors are MOD or stock. You will need to get that sorted out by someone so you know what your path to replacement parts and tuning is.

    Add an L0206 powered kart to the mix or replace one of the shifters with an L0206. This way when you get over the initial thrill of 12,000 RPM thrusts towards sharp turns you can learn how to drive a kart.

    You might consider having a tuner/mechanic/driver coach come along, even for the first day. This was by far the best money I spent while karting.

    Welcome and good luck!!

    +1 on everything Leo said. LO206 motor on those chassis would get you on the track asap and get you learning kart control and driving lines. Shifters are just too complicated for newbies. I mean I am a newbie and still trying to figure out the 206. lol Granted, Shifters go faster but they also cost a LOT more than a 206. I have driven a Rotax which is the middle child and have to say it’s a lot of fun but when I look at the price tag for just a race weekend I quickly move back to the 206. Also there are a lot of 206 drivers out that would totally help you out!
