A bone with Azusa tri-star wheels in the rear, thats a rather strong little kart. Good find. Don't quite know the age there though.

Welcome to the forum. Nice kart. What is that lever thing on the steering wheel for?

The cart was missing a throttle cable when we got it, I assume that this was an effort to use some old bicycle parts for the throttle. It has been removed and replaced with the correct cable and foot pedal.

speaking of throttle, is there a good way to connect the cable to the carb on flat head Briggs engine? Any pics of how others have done this would be great.

Thanks, I gave $40.00 for it, and $100 later had it running and on the road. It is a tough little cart and worthy of a good rebuild.

If you've already removed your govenor, you could set it up like this pic:

If you want a simple setup, don't look at mine

It works well but it's pretty involved

You can have a look at my minibike build thread to see how I did mine. The pics are on the last few pages
