CYLINDER BORE REPLATING
Most plated cylinders can be replated – Chrome/Electrofusion/Nikasil.
Also any damage repaired or welded and bore replated to suit the original piston and rings,
either genuine or aftermarket brand.
Chrome rings may be used in Nikasil® plated bores for long life.
Delivery time is usually under 2 weeks. This service is now performed within Australia with lower prices and faster turnaround.
( If you are wondering about the quality of the Australian repairs, a customer with a Rotax 125 Max has
had his done here and it lasted through 4 pistons for over 100 hours of racing )
Prices vary depending on cylinder size ………
2 strokes — 50cc to 124cc … $495.00 each bore.
125cc to 150cc … $550.00 each bore
200cc to 250cc … $640.00 each bore
300cc to 500cc … $725.00 each bore
4 strokes — up to 250cc … $495.00 each bore
400cc to 490cc … $590.00 each bore
500 + cc …. from $660 each bore
Reboring to larger bore size than standard, or rewelding repairs can be an extra $160.00
EXHAUSTS
We manufacture 2-stroke exhaust systems from zinc-annealed or plain mild steel in 16 to 22 gauge (depending on
application). In the case of motorcycles, Odysseys, gearbox Superkarts, etc, the pipes are made and installed
directly onto the machine — hence we need the bike, car or kart in our workshop for this to be done.
We can supply any set of “expansion chamber” cones , in a straight form to your design, or ours each cone is $20

KART BUILDING & REPAIRS
Our karting history began in the 1950’s, with the late Bob Williams and a few friends making some of the earliest karts
in Australia. Today we supply the best that the industry can give us to help our customers find that winning edge.
The preparation of any kart is mainly dependant on its intended use, so it is hard to quantify such a process into
a dollar value. But here are some regular jobs that we perform that will act as a guide.
Re-powdercoat a bare chassis … must be stripped bare from $185.00
Re-jig and powdercoat to original colour an ARROW brand chassis … must be
stripped. Takes up to 4 weeks and is done at the DPE factory $650.00
Seat fitting … labour only ………… $60.00
may require extra nuts+bolts/spacers at extra cost
New air-cooled engine + kart assembly, to race-ready condition
At the time of purchase from us ……. Included in kart cost
New 125cc TaG engine + kart assembly, to race ready condition
At the time of purchase from us ……… Included in kart cost
Assembly of a ROTAX MAX , X30 , KA100 or MiniRok
engine onto your chassis, new or used …….. $180.00 plus any parts
Assembly of a 4 stroke Torini Clubmaxx engine onto your chassis,
new or used , includes all new chain, rear sprocket, tyres, throttle cable,
fuel hose and filter, chain guard ……. $680.00 ready to go race !!
DYNO SERVICES
Dyno services rates
Run-in a KT100S , MiniRok , KA100 or Torini kart engine ……. $70.00
Run-in a 125cc Rotax or X30 engine …. $80.00
Single testrun with printout on 100/125cc kart engine …. $150.00
Hourly rate in dyno room for testing …. $110.00
This includes printouts of all testruns performed, and all labour in making alterations or modifications necessary
to engines or pipes as required while testing ( plus parts cost ).
Prices correct as at June 2026 — but subject to change anytime.
This is just something to see, carbs, alloy engine mounts or crankcases can be cleaned to look as new!!
Old carbs that have corroded due to the use of methanol and other exotic fuels can also be cleaned up.
This is a method of cleaning all of the alloy parts of an engine and carbs that has been impressive.
We can clean up most used parts, and even fire damaged and tarnished cylinders, heads and crankcases have been brought back to looking like new again.
Our many years of 2 stroke engine tuning includes our never ending work in performing cylinder modifications.
We use porting tools that work, and with such a vast experience in this very delicate and demanding area we can usually provide a job that is the equal of anything from across the globe.
We are setup to handle Yamaha KT100S and KT100J ignitions (which covers the ARC also), so if you have one that needs testing, or you want accurate timing marks engraved on yours, then we can help you.
We have the right tools and the know-how to make changing kart tyres easy.
In 2006 we spent many hours out testing with our junior drivers in the National classes. By the end of 2006 we were able to produce a better performing WB-3A carburetor with revised drillings and o’ringed throttle shaft. This was our 1612 version carb.
Thru 2013 we improved the carb, now offering an NJ model carb with even better response.
We apply 50 years of experience to:
– Top-end rebuilds
– Complete engine rebuilds
– Blueprinting
– Dirt Kart “race tune” or “fully modified tune”
Including Helicoils, Timeserts (flanged inserts), and Spark plug thread weld and retap
