So here is the margay kart i picked up and once i got it up on the saw horses , ive really started to notice how much cobblery has went on with this one. I know its going to take some time and probably a good chunk of money to get it right. Here it is on day one....

So the two karts I picked up are in pretty rough shape and going to require some welding and more along the lines of a restorati rather than a rebuild. To be honest the time and work I'm going to put in to the has got me feeling discouraged a bit. Show me some serious before and after shots of...

Won't be legit racing. There's nothing going on in east tn. Probably gonna be taking him to ride in a parking lot with cones like an auto x course. Once I get both karts done I'm gonna build a stacker trailer!

And my pics are sideways again....ugh

QSo this is one of the 2 karts I picked up. The other is a margay bandito, this one I have absolutely no clue , but it's fine. I'm going to be putting this one together for my son who is 6. Going to do something mild for the engine and upgrade him as he progresses. The only kart he's diven at...

Got the briggs from the guy at work today, it's a 5 horse labeled as "fun power" I'm gonna see if it'll start and run then may check into what it'll take to turn it up a little

Do they have any different character from a clone? Power come in differently from the different head designs or anything ? My first kart as a kid had a 8 horse flathead , probably came off a tiller or something but that thing would scream

Well... that was my plan all along , whoever "welded" that mess onto it shouldn't be! It does look awful

That looks real nice! Makes me want to do an old rupp!

Going to try to post some pics

Might look Into building a little flathead to play with, guy at work is giving me an old 5 horse

In for the results of timing research

I hear it's a bandito due to the gusset on the engine rails and seat mount but some knob welded on some cobbled up mess of nerf bars. May try to call them on my lunch break today! I'm guessing a photobucket account would help with pics for this forum?

Welcome from one new guy to the other!
