my latest tip purchase- i love the tip!! yamaha outboard, missing the prop. half an hours fiddling later and its running  it has an integral fuel pump, which is very handy, obviously bottom drive though (but i could convert it with a new carb manifold) suggestions what to do with it on a postcard please.........  |

heres a pic or 2 of it. all disammebled and laid out-  carb on this side-  fuel pump on this, exhaust and output shaft on the bottom.  it looked like this when i got it, beofre i took it apart, more or less-  ive got a plan for a funky lightweight, small gokart so far. basically a motorised tea tray plasic school chair, mini (or smaller) rear wheels, solid axle, keep the motor in its housing and plonk it on top of the axle with bevel drive. beam front axle, maybe front suspension, maybe not........ |

i scrounged some more bits perfect rear wheels and tyres- ignore the copious amounts of mud, i had to drag the trailer tent they're attatched to up a muddy track to liberate it. brand new 8" duro rubber!! what a shame a trailer tent has to die for me to use them ultra lightweight race-spec seat-    its staring to fall together |
