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!
