    Day 1: Picked this up as a project. Day 1 was washing it up while we wait for some parts that were ordered. Cleaned up the seats and did a test fit before figuring out how they need to get bolted in.

    New GoKart

    Hi All, Just scored this go-kart that I'm going to get running for my kids. Motor runs fine, I'm told I just need a chain and clucth. It came with some seats but I've got to get those installed. So priority #1 is getting those ordered so we can get this on the road. I'm not sure who makes...
