OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Engines Questions On Victa Two Stroke Engines Victa 125 go Kart project

I’ve started a resto project of a very early 60’s go kart.
I have a Victa engine but trying to source a tapered sprocket for it.
I know they’re out there can any one help point me in the right direction?
Something like the attached photo
Cheers

Howdy Connormax,
Did you remove all the rust before painting the barrel?
I am doing up a Victa 125 mower. Great engine.

Awesome looking project. The 125 was favoured for things like this. Hope you have somewhere to drive it.

speak to glenn at pulse tuning. he builds karts and engines including a fair bit of retro stuff,

Thanks, great info
I will call tomorrow

Connormax, I note you have been asked the question re rust removal and painting, my question is what sort of paint to use? I have almost completed a resto job on a 1980 Victa Corvette and did not paint the barrel I would have preferred that I did. I am now starting on a 1966 Victa Cortina 2 125cc and would like to paint the barrel. It is at the moment in the bath being derusted (if that is such a word) and would like to paint it.
I think at sometime I will do up my wifes old Mustang she used in the 70,s, you know, when you are having a few drinks or whatever you can always mention the Mustang Corvette and Cortina sitting in the shed in my collection. LOL.

Just heat resistant “barrel” paint.
Readily available from auto stores & it appears to hold up pretty well
