how much for a 1-rotor 12A engine?

hey every1,
i was wondering if youve ever seen a 1-rotor 12a engine built before...i want one for a go-kart project of mine. So if you have seen it done, plmk the parts involved, and how much. (It will be carbeurated and n/a, for simplicities sake)

thanx,
-Zach

well i wouldnt mind putting it together myself...the only real crucial part that would be hard to find would be a 1-rotor e-shaft

I was once told that the local go-kart track "Malibu Grand Prix" in Redwood City used those.

Atkins does a single rotor 13B. A one rotor 12A would be pretty easy for them to make as well, I'm guessin'.

Ah, I just hit 1308 posts!
