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

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!!,
