BTW....I have never seen a 80's Ford Mustang foxbody gokart shell before. Cool kart man.

I'm not to sure on the make of this bodied kart but I like it and it looks to be very original! It could be a Carter bros or Ken Bar perhaps. The steering wheel hints at Manco but I really dont know. Sweet that it still has the original 3hp engine.

Ok sounds good. Sounds like you removed the detent spring retaining bolt from the bottom of the case!

If I was to pursue this somewhat crazy build idea I would look for a 1990's 600cc machine that still runs a 4 carb setup. This way the wiring will be less complex and you might get away without all the original factory harness. Just a thought. If you can buy any used engine and here it run...

What Firemanjim said lol. Like the saying goes, a picture is worth a 1000 words! I understand some fourms are a pain to upload pics. I find its easiest to use your smart phone and it does all the formatting and what not for you. File sizes do matter tho and that can snag you from posting pics.

So it looks like rain today or T storms here in London so my headliner resto project for my 77 Camaro Z/28 will have to wait. I'm going to focus on getting the LB engine mounted and hopfully test fired by the end of the day. Here is a pic of my Camaro and when its out for the summer, it...

:useless: Welcome to the fourm. Pics are one of the biggest aid in other members trying to figure out what could be wrong. Usually a good idea to stop by the intro fourm section and introduce yourself. Good luck and happy karting!

Yepp...thats the one. Now only if I could get my hands on a nice clean example. One of these or a 80's american express would be sweet. AmEx is like one of my fave karts although I have never drivin one lol!

Yes thats is a very valid point. It's sad that even back in the 90's most kids my age would have gone stupid excited if mom or dad was willing to buy a kart or minibike. Cheezies and video games are more entertaining in todays youth world! Piff yeah its across the pond being made in the...

That looks cool. Reminds me of a sweet 70's Eatons lawnmower I had years ago. The deck had that blue steel color.

I dont have a picture. Thats the issue lol. I'm just going be memory here.

Ok I understand it was kinda self explanitory but I figured someone might have one or remember. And yes I laughed when I clicked on that link ;)

Haha I here ya and thanks btw but I can't remember exactly what the particular model was called. I would like to search for one in my local classifieds with a wanted ad. Sometimes people will chime in with original brochure pics. It really blows that Manco went belly up and its not like they...

Hi there. I'm trying to remember a certian model of Manco gokart from the late 90's and early 200's. They were either single or double seat with a roll cage, live axle, 5hp funpower Briggs flatty, larger 6" knobby tires all around, cent clutch, and a cool looking black frame/rollcage with...

I like the looks of the RLV muffler and I think it should be quiet enough but most importantly, it will flow and not have to much back pressure. I still need to make a flange and get a custom head pipe made. I do want it to look factory and appealing to the eye. What color should I paint the LB...
