Unlock maximum performance and durability with the newly designed reinforced Tillotson Racing Block, exclusive to the Tillotson 196R Racing Engine. Engineered by EC Carburetors, this 68mm block is the result of decades of kart racing experience, specifically tailored for competitive 196cc box stock kart classes.
