Hello OREST,

Excellent... glad to know someone that also has the Carer XTV kart.
My impression is that the XTV is a very well designed kart, and I
think that we can benefit from it's strengths to help improve the
3206 & 3209 karts.

If you carefully study the XTV and 3206 engine, do you see strong
evidence that they are made by the same company?

I know that they seem to be very similar, but I am curious who
manufactures this engine. I know that the XTV engine is made by
Standard Motor in Taiwan. I contacted Standard Motor in Taiwan to
try and see if they might be manufacturing the Howhit engine, but
they did not reply in a way that would disclose anything. Either
they are not making it, or they don't want to openly brag about
this.

I will also be very curious to hear how your XTV compares to your
3206 in terms of performance once you get the 3206 up and running!
