It will run in the only class at REAR, rear engine pre '72. It would run in rear single 6.1 and under at another event.
My opinion would be to stabilize the condition and leave it alone. A kart is only original once, restored is forever. Dart karts are a dime a dozen, un-restored period modified are rarer.

My 2-cents,
Dan

Nice kart. Just clean it & safety wire the needed items. See tech article on how. It's rear to find one in that condition without missing parts, bent front axle, 4 cycle engine etc...... good job.
