Hello friends. I just picked this up from local classifieds. And I’m having trouble really identifying it. I think the wheels are Rupp Turbines, and the back half of the frame where the holes are by the bearing flanges look Rupp, but other parts have me guess otherwise. The engines turns over...

Had a 4" piece of exhaust pipe lying around from my old Superduty, and a belt guard to a gas powered air compressor. So I took the liberty of fabing up a seat mounted tank for my recently acquired American Express ( check out my steering fix on a previous post). I cleaned all the dirt off the...

Anybody with an American Express, care to drop a picture looking down over their front suspension? I just picked up this AE frame about 2 weeks ago, and started taking a closer look at it, and it appears it had been repair at one time but the frame's "caster" is different from side to side. One...

A local kart enthusiast was purging all his old karts and parts he had acquired from auctions. The lot I acquired came with a Manco Critter 2, Murray 2 seater, the blue Indy Kart, and (2) single seaters I have yet to identify. Along with some Briggs,3.5 and 5.5 engines, and clutches. My plans...

I did discover from my thread over on the Build Post, that Azusa makes a tri-star similar to the one I have pictured, but does anyone know who made the six spoke wheel pictured? Or what it would have came on? I have a few 4" and 5" of those. I'm trying to decide which to go with (if I can even...

As mentioned in my build off thread, I picked up (2) karts last year, and I am curious to know what brand/model this one might be. Any ideas? Also ,shown below is a single wheel that came off of it. What would the name or style of this wheel be called? Thanks for any and all input.

Here is my entry. I picked up the red kart (which I am still trying to identify) and orange kart (pretty sure homemade) for $50 (hence $25 kart entry). My pick for the build is going to be the orange one. I bought both of these, and a box of misc. parts last year and they hung on the back of my...

I believe I found a Dune Cat near me. What is the going rate for one that is complete and in running condition.?I did a few Google searches, but didn't really come up with anything concrete. Thanks in advance!

I will try and attach a vid, but if it doesn't go through let me explain with pictures. I can get the engine up and running, but the wheels are always spinning. If I adjust "B" or "C" it cause the engine to speed up dramatically, or bog down and die. I have made countless adjustments in every...

I picked this thing up locally for $400. Needed a good carb cleaning, and flushed the tank so far. Otherwise all I think it needs is the linkage to engage the drive. Does anyone happen to know the model of this Kazuma?

Picked these (2) last week. The go kart is just a partial basket case the guy threw in with the deal(needs axle assembly put back together and an engine). I mainly just wanted the trike though. There is not a single sticker or tag leading to an identity of this trike. Anyone have an idea who...

Found this on craigslist. Thinking about buying it. What does this look like to you all? Rupp, AmEx?? It needs work, doesn't run, pull string is broke, and clutch is non-functioning Has a GX160 on it. Guy wants $400. Your thoughts on price?

Could anybody tell me what this might be? It almost doesn't seem like that size tires belonged on it originally, imo. Any help is appreciated.

Here are some pics of the kart as is. I've already started and mounted a live axle from a donor kart. I will upload those pics later. But here it is from the start. It's pretty rough, and has had some repairs in the past.

This is just a pic offline, but identical to the kart I just picked up locally for $75. came with a 3.5hp briggs flatty (runs), a 5hp vert flatty (?), and some weed-eater 5hp vert (?). It's in pretty good shape, all I have to do is slap the 3.5hp back on (guy was tinkering with it and removed...

Hello DIYGK members. My name is Steve, and I just joined today. I can't wait to check out all the projects you members have going. As well as upload some pics of my current projects. I have a Dingo I'm just replacing the TC on for my little one. And an old "Dixie" something or another go kart...
