I was going to sell this but I am considering building it instead. I do not know anything about this model kart. What engine came on these when they where new? I know they had some kind of intresting exahust, but I am unsure of the engine. If annyone has a pick of a nice original it might be of help to me, or a good picture of an add for the kart?
thanks in advance

Re: 1961 Sears Kart questions
Josh,
The 1961 "Sears" racing Kart was sold with Power Products engines. Both ah58's and ah82's. In single engine set-ups and even more so with duel engine set-ups. The most interesting feature was the seat back air filter with a flex hose out of each side to each engine. Street races and such had become wide spread and air filters were the norm for them. I'll look you up a picture add showing one and send it to you.
Best Reguards and GO FAST!!,
