Kind of funny story here, I found one just like this down in California and it was just listed I sent an E mail to him told him I would take it. Let him know my location agreed to pay him in full for the kart and I would pick it up when I got to Corvallis, and I would drive down as I have another kart I have paid for and the owner is storing it till I get down there. He was adamant that I was a scam, my reply was I’m not very good then because you would be paid in full and still have the kart in your presence….lol he didn’t get it the next time I looked at it it was pending… it looks like a real nice kart but you don’t get them all I guess. Some people are not very trustworthy I guess. I would have done that deal all day long. Maybe storage was an issue, but he didn’t say that. Or maybe I was a little too aggressive and he thought it might be worth more than what he was asking. Don’t know Don’t care there is more out there someplace. This sport you have to be looking all the time and be able to act fast…lol

Do you have a picture of the gas tank on yours, if I can’t find one for a reasonable price I’m an awesome tig welder I might be able to fab one up from sheet aluminum..? Or
Thank you for your time

The hunt is just part of the fun. WHen you meet more people you can pay for it & they will pick it up for you. Works well but you will owe a LOT of favors!

I agree the hunt is fun and yes I’m finding out you can meet some very nice people out there.

I can see a rear caliper in two of those pics. Most likely a Palmini. Guess you will be getting more than expected is still equipped.

This is mew to me so you can probably see things I can’t. I’ve never seen one before so it hard for me to tell someone for sure what is has and what it don’t have when I don’t have it home yet. But I’ll be able to pick out another one now I bet….lol
Thank you for your help!

Should be a nice kart when I’m finished with it but I have about 4 carts ahead of this one to be worked on.
