Hi all, I'm totally new to the karting world ad I'm after a little help. I have recently acquired an '02 Tony Kart chassis with a Vortex 100cc air cooled engine. I believe it is also known as a BT95? It looks the same as the one on tal-ko website which they class as the hobbiest engine (which I am really!).

What I would like to know is where I can get spares for it from but mainly how do I start it!! It has a centrifugal, what I believe to be Horstman clutch. The drive/crankshaft is basically if you think of a complete circle (end of crankshaft) with two opposing sides chopped off it, bascially an oval but th longer sidea are completely flat abit like this (_) but with another flat at the top. Is there some special adaptor I need to put on my starter motor for this or do I need something that sits on the end of it with a 17mm nut on it?

I appreciate any help, thanks.
