help Identify my kart, it is ugly...

Post by Fred Tamayo » Thu Jan 24, 2008 9:34 pm

HI, You guys have been very helpful for identifying my old karts. Here is another one, It has been butchered over the decades. The motor is currently a briggs 5hp, and the mount was crudely made, not original by far. I am interested in finding out if the kart is worth restoring or just junk. Maybe you can help... The picture is terrible sorry.

Do you have a few more pictures? Front, back, side. Also look at welds. You should be able to tell a stock weld from a repair / modification.

Fred, it's beyond Ugly.........

I have just went through my limited collection of old kart mags (58-64),
and have not found anything like this.
But I do have the kart now.........

So, if anyone has seen this thing in print, please let me know.
I will post some better pictures whan I get a chance.
