The Mac-Kart was designed for the Mac 10 engine and sold to McCulloch distributors. That's why you see yellow literature and a few that have been restored are yellow. Fox sold the kart in many colors to different companies and their own dealers. I've restored three; two were yellod and the third one is a light blue.
Look at the welded in piece between the pizza pie shaped seat sides and the seat hoop. It was added to keep the frame from breaking. The frame rails are simple water pipe. The factory changed to 4130 chrome molly tube in the 1961 models.
Tire pressure depends on total weight, tire age and compound, driving style, etc. With this type of kart you will want the rear tires hard and the front tires soft to help it turn into the turns.

Thank You Mr. Teal for answering my many questions! I still may have more questions? Great information you have shared for myself and all other forum members. Nice to remind Ted and Jim what they already know.
