He sold that without the engine. I may pick up that 3.5hp to learn more on small engines (he only wants $20, cheap practice). He also said he has go carts for sale (not posted on CL) so Ill see what he has. I'll be sure to post pictures and price!

Looks like it has a reduction unit or something on the left side.

I would buy this kart or go look at it from the pics. You can always make your own roll cage to give it that look you are looking for.

$200 for a running dog is a fair deal. Test drive it and check out how it drives.

Then get some big tires and change your gearing for your needs.

But first what is that big box in front of the left rear wheel?

Email him and say you want to look at it and have cash? For that price you need to work it so you are the first to come get it. Unless it has been on there awhile now. But newly listed email about 3 times telling him you want to buy it.

Just questions will put you down the buyers list. Cash cash cash

Edit. Ya it was listed just today. Call the guy do not email. Be the first caller and emailer. Its called jumping on it.

You got it! A few more were posted this weekend while I was gone. Now I'm on the fence. I'm going to see how much money it would be to fix up my golf cart. If it's a ridiculous amount, then forget it. Buying gas would end up being cheaper. :D

Guy offered a basic cart with 5hp B&S with a spare 3.5hp B&S for $300. Hes having trouble sending pictures, but hopefully I can get them soon.

Will be buying a kit this summer. Doesnt come with engine, so what should I throw in it? Any links would be helpful. Will be turning it from the race style to offroad, minus suspension. :)

Pick up a few of those lawnmowers and tinker with them. Heck, I just got 2 non-runners for free by asking. A 2 stroke snowblower and a 24cc weed wacker. Our friends were going to junk them but I asked if I could have them and they happily let me haul them off.
