Can someone ID this?

[SRT8]

Newbie here at DIY. Hopefully I posted this in the correct forum!
Picked this up over the weekend (FREE!). No idea what it is I have.
Had been sitting outside for 10 years. Got the engine running
(Honda GX200), new tires and steering wheel on the way.
Last photo is what remains of a sticker that appears to be
factory-applied just behind the main crossmember on the frame rail
on both sides. Thanks in advance!

im not 100% shore but it appears to be some sort of gokart. jk someone here will probably know what kind and model.

It looks to be similar to what some old guy in Wisconsin builds....does it smell like cheese?

Welcome to the forum!

We like to play around and tease each other here...and we're all just 13 year olds...despite what our birth certificates or driver's licenses say.

It's some kind of racing kart...and most of us aren't too into them...but a couple know them very well ....and one will be along shortly.....

I've seen it and I know but I can't remember. The key in that design is the double rear rails on both sides. I will remember eventually I hope. And that checkered sticker isn't associated with the chassis I don't recall

And I'm gonna be like a 13yo on Christmas morning once this thing is running!

That is an awesome score! Regardless of "what" it is, what is IS a ton of fun waiting to happen!

I'm not sure of the brand yet, but it kinda looks like your kart was made for dual-engines. Post some pics showing better details of the left-rear frame rails.

Post some pics of the caliper too, that might be a really good clue...

Does it have a 1-1/4" diameter rear axle, or is it one of the metric sizes?

Also, are most all of the nuts and bolts metric or US?

 

[SRT8]

1-1/4" axle. Most nuts are US. Photos of left rear frame, caliper.
Bracket for caliper appears to be factory so probably not dual engine.

 

[Joe-405]

Measure the wheel bolt pattern also. That will tell you for sure if it's metric or u.s. Made pattern. Here are the different ones.........

Rear axle is 2" in the "A" measurement so I presume metric 50mm.
Front spindles are 5/8 though.

 

[Joe-405]

Sounds like a knock off chassis. Or somebody has really changed a lot of stuff around.

 

[anderkart]

Lots of racekarts brands made in the USA came with metric bolt pattern rims, but most all racekarts that originally came with non-metric axles were made in America.

I'm still stumped on what brand your kart is, but you could check out the pics in the Vintage chassis

You could also try emailing/asking Curtis this racekart shop:

Send him a link to this thread and ask if he recognises the brand, he's a cool helpful dude and really good at ID'ing racekart brands!

I was hoping to get a better view of your frame area just left of the seat, were a second engine might be able to be installed if you relocated your L-R seat strut. Your caliper wouldn't be in the way of a dual-4-cycle engine setup because its axle sprocket would need to be installed outside of the left-rear axle bearing, like this kart:
