West Bend 820 Story (It's cold outside)
#1
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...

.pdf   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).
