What does it do?

Put a two stroke back in, then it'll only do three laps and you won't wear yourself out.
Tell the whole story , you's still beat Brenton first time out on it. He tells me i'm his pitcrew and now we have to sit down and work out how to get more speed out of his one
Seriously, see if you can find a flat surface and check the straightness of the lower frame rails and i know the front cross is under tension when it shouldn't be and isn't in line. I was battling with crap engines and never got round to looking properly at the chassis apart from replacing the heim joints and repairing cracks and couldn't even be sure if the suspension settings on it were correct.

You need to be lying over Rick to weight the front end, then it "might" turn right. You wait 'till you do a 1/2 hour. It took me a few minutes before I could get out and about a week before my shoulders were good.

That is some mighty camber compliance. I can't imagine that the tyre is loving trying to produce grip at 4 degrees positive(relative to direction of lateral force, not chassis) camber. Probably contributing heavily to the turning right problem.

If they are anything like their full size cousins the swinger needs to be over the right and forward leaning on the riders back otherwise they can understeer badly

It's actually under steering at this point which I have no doubt makes it look
Like there is a tonne of camber in the angle of the photo. Whether there is or isn't camber anyway, I can't comment.

Is the brake line sitting on the front tire?
Noticed it in this photo https://www.flickr.com/photos/sonscc/15176811702/ as well
For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

yes it is....design fault or braking aid?
i'm a wanker
so you gave up on it and sold itPut a two stroke back in, then it'll only do three laps and you won't wear yourself out.

If it remains a braking aid then in due course I suspect it will become a design fault.

Yep but have another one under construction,so you gave up on it and sold itGazza tacked together the basic frame and it's along the lines of the one i raced back in the early ninties. Won't be ready till next year though, back running a gearbox kart and a kt one with my son at moment
