Just picked up a rough one, could use some help identifying this kart.
Thank you for your time and input.
This is what I have.

Looks like a 1961 Bug Wasp.

Thank you Russ greatly ! appreciate your input.

Just picked it up out in Oregon. The kart looked a little rough but very restorable in my shop.

It does look a lot like Bug. But more pictures would really help to make 100% sure. If nothing more than seeing all what you got there. Cloeups are always appreciated. I like looking at other peoples before projects. Sometimes there is something somebody could see somewhere on the kart that is of some help to them.

The tierods sure look correct. Steering shaft 1/2 or 5/8 diameter? Welded or removable hub? Is that a Palmini caliper back there hiding on the left rear frame rail? Dual motor mounts? Welded or swing type?

It’s a dual welded mounts, rear brake caliper is missing from what I can see. I don’t have the kart home as I will be picking it up at the end of March when I head to Oregon for the summer. I will be actually picking up a couple karts.I will spend the summer on the hunt for parts ect for the rest of my kart builds. I’m going to visit Tom Thorin in Lake Balboa California to look at his Simplex builds as I have 2 that I’m going to be doing and will be getting parts and ideas from him on theses.
Thank you!
