Shea, the one I had Jaret reproduce can be found on his website at https://strictlyvintagedecals.com/product/carter-super-wheels-go-kart-decal/ although it is a slightly different at the bottom compared to yours. If that is fine by you then go ahead and buy it. If you want the other variant I...

Like this one?

Here's the video on making the fairing:

Cool to see another Alabama person! I'm in the Birmingham area myself with a Carter Super Wheels gokart that I first for when I was 6. -Jason

Hellion, Thanks so much for the compliments. Since I had a lot of sentimental attachment to that kart, I wanted to make sure that it looked proper. You are correct that some welding and body filler can make a huge difference with pitted metal. I had mine powder coated for extra durability but...

I think you got that backwards. Flat side is towards the engine. -Jason

I'm thinking it was a Carter Brothers kart. The rear frame section and the way the jackshaft mounts on that plate on the left rear look very Carter-like as well as the throttle rod with the throttle stop collar. It's definitely had some extra "gingerbread" added to it over the years as you...

Gopowersports does have OEM style Carter brake and throttle pedals (left and right hand). https://www.gopowersports.com/carter-universal-brake-pedal/ https://www.gopowersports.com/carter-universal-throttle-pedal/ Or you can buy them as a pair and save a couple of bucks...

I'll second the throttle stop. That is what that collar on the throttle rod to the right of the seat is for. Mine has the same thing but being a two seater it is positioned under the seat. An Allen set screw will secure the stop where you want it. The modern Honda clone engines also have a...

There was only one of four cracked and as far as I can tell it was original to the kart so it was probably well over 35 years old. The new ones were specified to be OE replacements for Carters. I got them from either BMI or GPS but I can't recall which. Back in college I was on the SAE Mini Baja...

There was a place not far from where I work that does powder coating so I took the frame to them to have it refreshed. I did replace just about all of the hardware with fresh nuts and bolts. The jam nuts on the tie rods were probably the only ones that I didn't replace. The tie rod ends (heim...

Yes sir I did. Here's the link. https://www.diygokarts.com/community/threads/carter-super-wheels-restoration.43576/ I also had Jaret Varholick reproduce the floorboard decal. -Jason

Yes sir it is. Restored it last year. -Jason

That's a Carter Super Wheels. That star floorboard logo is a dead giveaway.

Welcome sir!. I also have a Super Wheels that I have had since I was 6 and restored it last year. Here is a picture of it. By the way, I had Jaret Varholick at JVDesign Co. reproduce the original floor decal so if you are interested he has them for sale at his website.
