mcculloch mc1 ipl
#1
The Mc1 was an engine that was doomed to obscurity. it was designed to be a new bushing class kart racing motor. sadly it got a tempid response at best.
   They were basically a regular mc49 block with unique motor mount,carb/manifold location and casting and a top mounted gas tank bringing to mind early west bend motors aka the wb580 or 700.
They are considered extremely rare though only mildly valuable. The rarity is in finding a complete motor.When these motors were sidelined as bushing motors most were canabalized for the block.Since many karters were low budget but very mechanical they would replace the crank intake motor mount basically everything and recycle the block into a mc49 class motor. as a result finding a survivor as pictured is extremely hard. As of the time this is written this is the only complete survivor pictures we have been able to obtain. several restored versions are also known both from original and from gathered parts.
The main interest in these motors is from collectors of mcculloch motors wanting the complete line of motors.
