This is more likely best for parts. I'll post a pic when I find a hungry user.

I have a non-working, partially-dismantled, kids Funder Wheels go cart for the taking if you pick it up. No plastic body. Frame and steering good. Carburetor rebuilt and gas tank cleaned and sealed. Tires intact and inflated. 3.5 hp B&G not run since early '90s.

It has sentimental value to my son-in-law and could (if Grampa gitz 'er done) be used by his three boys.

Thanks for these suggestions!

I couldn't find a comparable new or used tank online, so this was my choice.

I cleaned out a B&S 3.5hp metal gas tank with 2 x 3-day soaks in vinegar and while most of the 'scale' came out I still see rust. My question is do I absolutely need to seal this tank? The commercially available kits were just too expensive for the value. Once I can show that I can get this...

Yep. Those Funder Wheel toss-aways!

Intact front wheel (left) w/o bearings and damaged plastic rim next to 3/4" spindle. Held on by washer and e-clip.

Today I pulled off a Funder frt tire and could only remove with great difficulty the hub from the tire because it was lacking (driver damage) that white plastic ring. This resulted in gouges to that gray plastic hub so not sure tire rim seating is crucial given its inner tube. I'm resolved to...
