Yes I just got a this kart and am not sure what it is. I figured out the motor is a B&S Raptor3 running on methanol, a Horstman clutch with 6 springs and 2 discs and a 73 tooth rear sprocket. The person I got it from said it had been sitting up for awhile and so I siphoned a little methanol out of tank and put in carb. and it cranked on the 4th pull and idled for a second or so.

I have heard that methanol is very corrosive if it sits in the tank, fuel lines, carb etc for any length of time. I know the race guys flush it out the system at the ned of each race day

Oh, and welcome!!

Are there any markings, serial numbers etc on the kart?

I have not been able to find anykind of markings at all. The floor pan just has Predator in raised letters on it is all

Yeah that methanol is very corrosive. If it's been sitting you're going to have to clean that tank and carb thoroughly. And if there is rust good luck as far as the carb goes. Nice looking kart though!
