This will keep going around and around. Honda - Unsealed so anyone can fiddle around with it and you won�t get in to trouble as scrutaners know little about them and why should they, they can�t be expected to be an expert. Engines change hands for silly money anyway, plus there is a new 160 in the wings. Easy Kart - one make, one chassis so will always be limited as other manufacturers are locked out. One builder, no competition. Sending engines to Japan or Italy for a rebuild on a cadet unit that costs �800 to start with - err no don�t think so. If it cost �8000 or �80000 then may be. Sorry the present W60 system as flawed as it is, still the best of a bad lot. Whichever engine is used as the national cadet motor it will have to be sealed to try to ensure fair play, by a number of licensed builders putting competition in to the system of pricing. However the MSA and the manufacturer/importer need to stop fudging infringement cases and start banning a few of them plus do a lot more in the way of unannounced spot checks at their premises to up quality and fleche controls. Put in a pool of engines that you draw for a race week end at Stars and S1 � and put them in park ferme conditions throughout. That will sort out the big money teams and properly level the playing field!
