Did they make different styles?  I found a completed sale one on E-bay and it is slightly different from the one I have.  This picture is the e-bay one.

ok guys,
was trying to find the stroke of mc10 stroker cranks and didn't feel like calling anyone.
like always i decided to search the net for old threads.
i found this and i'm posting the link here lots of good info there read everything in the thread newbes you'll learn alot.

mc5 thread great early mcculloch engine discussion


this thread started in wanted for sale in 2010 about four years into vintage for me and i was already getting mouthy with true experts!!!  
anyway everything from pin to deck hieght mc10 stroker kits and general bs is in this 5 page thread.
lately i've noticed threads like this are rare but back in "the early days of vintage karting" we had alot of discussions like this.
at some point i'll try finding a few more!!

If I left this out article missing here long enough David Luciani would have cheerfully swiped my stuff again about the West Bend 820...

Karting World (December 1962) issue of selected pages...

  KW 1962 West Bend 820L.pdf (Size: 7.14 MB / Downloads: 19)

And, a spec sheet; also, describing the LH (CCW) and RH (CW) rotation engines...
(Left Hand, Right Hand, counter clockwise rotation, clockwise rotation)
   

A favorite kart to many and a popular application of the WB 820s, a 1967 Margay New Breed, Margay Gearbox with dual West Bend 820s. A photo I took from the 2012 REARs TBO and Photoshopped with special effects for a video I did...
Note: My last attended back in the days kart event in spring 1967 as a spectator, but wound up working on sorting out Jim Vail's new B-Ltd. and C-Open 1967 Margay New Breed karts (both WB820 powered with Ram Horn pipes) at Dart Kart Speedway, Mansfield, Ohio). 
   

One of the most popular viewed, if not the most popular, thread of the old Vintage Kart Forum was started by Mark Barrington (veteran kart restorer) at the start of his Tecno kart project. I did manage to do screen saves some time back when the old forum site was dying (photos started disappearing) and shared it as a document, with some missing photos, to the Facebook vintage kart groups' "Files" (archives) menu location at top of screen.

  I Gotta Share This--Tecno! MB.pdf (Size: 2.64 MB / Downloads: 23)

I believe the thread is must reading for newbies that just acquired a nice barn find and what to do after. The thread covers all the pros and cons addressing many what ifs? Costs and challenges (and regrets) on complete restoration or the other end of the spectrum--having an original survivor, gently cleaned and fix as needed to function.

I found this Brian Santee intranet link, it appears to be COMPLETE and with ACTIVE links (I haven't tried this yet or reviewed all pages)...
http://www.briansantee.com/vintage/www.v...orum_id=36

Another lost site was a Facebook page that had coverage of a special Ipswich, Queensland, Australia vintage kart event. It was truly International with karts from Italy (private and museum collections) and Brazil. The event also celebrated the memory of the late Ayrton Senna that displayed his Dap kart. I did a frame grab of a Tecno kart dual engine setup (wished I did them all, along with the American made karts displayed). So, a photo to spice up this post! Who doesn't love a dual engine kart?
   
   

Now I'm off to find another survivor barn find story on a Dart Kart A-Bone find by a Newbie, totally new to karting.

I already put this in the engine section but some of you may have missed it. The other 3 parts will be ready soon. This is long overdo for these engines.





https://youtu.be/XOo4wUPGGwk We have been racing West Bend 820s and US Motor Power 820s for a while now. We thought it would be a good time while building a couple of 820s to share some what we do in building these engines.
