Picked up this lockley close to home and dirt cheap.no engine but overall not to bad of shape for it's age

used a gokart axle for the jackshaft and moved one mount and added a third

the old drum brake wasn't going to be enough stopping power for me so i added a hydralic gokart system to the jackshaft

I like the exhaust but the expansion chamber that was on it is VERY important to how the engine runs and the HP it makes.

Yes, that's very true, but I have to admit, I really like the duals. Nice work......this must be one of the quickest engine swaps I've seen. You must have really been anxious to get it going.

i know i'm going to lose low end torque and hp without the pipe..not concerned don't really want a buttload of power anyway.will mess with the jetting and mixture when i get it all back together.maybe taper the ends down for some more backpressure or swap out the mufflers.actually been working on this for a few months off and on now.not much time to work on it between 10 to 14hrs a day at work but winters coming qiuck any i'll be layed off soon.

Excellent work a very good fabricator but i do agree the expansion chambers should go back on they are a performance part specifically made for two strokes.
