WTB Racing Kart

[T-BONE]

Im looking to get into kart racing so I need a kart obviously. Preferably 2-stroke but offer up anything in the $600 price range.

$600 not half enough.

I have found two on craigslist in the past week one was a 100cc yamaha 2-stroke for $550 but that already sold.



The one Im looking at now has a 9hp tecumseh 4 stroke for $500

About 2 years ago I purchased a yard kart kit.
I looked for least expensive one I could find. When all was said and done, final price was about $540 w/o engine.
If you can find a complete running "race kart" for $500, be very suspicious and wary. A KT100 alone sells for several hundred in used condition. External starter for this runs around $200 to $300.

I dont plan on racing it stock either, I just want something that I can drive around and have fun with and then gradually upgrade/improve it. I just cant afford to buy a full blown racing kart all at once. I just gotta work my way there little by little.

I just purchased one of these. Everything included except clutch and power plant.
Twin 2 cycles is what I plan on using to power it.
Some mods to frame will have to be made but is otherwise just what the doctor ordered.
