I had a Go-Kart brand cart with a West Bend 2-stroke. I bought from a kid with more money than brains who couldn’t make it run right. I gave him $50 and it was running just fine in an hour or so. Funny what a difference the correct spark plug will make. My brother and I used to blend some fuel for it that would make your eyes burn.

1965, that was. I enjoyed the crap out of it all that summer until Uncle Sam decided I was having too much fun and needed an olive green wardrobe.

Great deal!

“1965, that was”

A great year for me. I was 11, and raced carts, and had a mini bike that was just too fast!. Those old 2 strokes (West Bend & McCulloch) were a blast. I had an MC 9
