Correct.
Added benefits of you do a really good job are shrapnel in your driving suit, flatspotted tires and broken chain. Ah yes, the good days lol. Definitely character building.

Finally got the Italsistem ML21 and Parilla MAG95 back together after rebuild and vapor blasting. Super happy with the end results
Nice to bring back some of the good old stuff back to life 🫶🏻

Youve got a lot of cool engines! What do you end up doing with them all? Do you have a nice display shelf going?
I restore them and let them breathe at 19k rpm 
I don’t really have a shelf yet, but I’ll do something nice for sure.
Today I ran in the Mag95, very nice and powerful. Almost as my VL95

Few laps around Apex in Perris, CA. Gives you an idea of how these compare against modern karts in a normal practice day. You’ll see a 4 stroke, KA and shifters. In the right hands (not mine), they can hold their own against anything.
This was in FA configuration (24mm carb) and old evinco reds (takeoffs from a shifter from last year, July-ish 2023 I guess). On softer tires (Bridgestones) it’s magic
