I’ll search for a tecumseh as well. thank you!

This old engine is in rough shape. I found a predator engine, 6.5, 212 for $150 and a 3 Hp for $120. Refurbishing the Briggs seems like a lot but maybe I will give it a shot and try to learn something.

I got the number and have dated the cart-‘81 model. Thank you for that info.

Awesome! Thank you so much!

I believe it was painted red. There seems to be black paint underneath the red, I assumed it was primer??

Thank you! All I can find is Bird Engineering stuff. There is a small tag up towards the front left side but I can’t quite read it. Where on the engine should I look? We have begun taking it apart. Is there a particular process? We’re basically going to strip it down to the frame and rebuild...

Hellion-Yes, I struggled to find much information beyond basic Bird Engineering go kart stuff but nothing about Silver Streak. Here are a few more pics. I think I read on here somewhere that Bird Engineering. Was bought in ‘84 and went by Phoenix after that.

Neighbor was moving and offered to give us and old go kart that had been sitting in his basement. We took it and have been absolutely consumed with learning about how to fix it up. It seems pretty old. Bird Engineering, Silver Streak. My guess is early 80s. Anyway, so excited to share this...
