Originally powered by a Villiers 9E 210cc engine, kick start under the bonnet although a lot have been converted to starter motor
Re: Supermarket 4!
Under the bonnet? so you have to lift the bonnet.. stick your leg in and then kick start it? imagine the utter shame of a traffic light stall!"!!

Believe it or not Chris they used these engines in what used to be Class 1V Karts. A mate used to race one they had a 4 speed box, bit like a F1 start only with more on the grid.

Re: Supermarket 4!
