hi
i was wandering again and i came across a few saws for sale.
i got two 2man mccullochs a mall saw for trading purposes and a d44 that i wanted.
the fellow also had a zip saw. i'm posting the pix below in case it's the one some guys have converted to kart motors.
if it is and you want it let me know and make an offer.
as it's a long drive to get it i won't consider less than 75$ enough to make the run to get it.
if that's too much no harm no foul.
dave

I have a Zip like that one. From my casual observation... I do not think that it is the type of saw engine that would be used on a Kart. I may be wrong, but my reasoning is due to the crank-case & the saw mount being cast as one unit.
