Gear ratios are close on these, about 500rpm drop through the top gears and this one is setup for a kart

Yeah it's ready to bolt into the chassis and go. They are del'orto 39mm carbs I think, but I did see a second pair in the box of spares.

He did my H...a cr 125 in 1999 when i was racing dirtbikes.
he's a wel respected dutch tuner what i know he also was involved with tuning aprillia's rsw for the GP's.
i even think he did tuningwork for the aprillia factory team for Jan thiel but i'm not sure.

i built up both barrels tonight loosely just to see if i have everything and i dont ! gutted .
i have a tiny pin missing off the power valves so need 2 of those , dont know why he didnt put them in
as i orderd full new barrels, heads, power valves and everything else to operate them
got 2 small bolts and washes missing from the elbow on the heads
and 2 bleed bolts and washes from the barrels .
i wanted the propper bolts and washes as they are to do with the water and we all know how strange they can be to seal up right.
all in all not too bad shouldnt be over a tenner ,just glad i checked now and didnt leave it until it was going in the bike with the intention of running it .
