Bird Engineering Baja 1872

Good evenings folks, thanks for the add, and Happy New Year. 12/30/17, I did a 13 hour round trip (should have been 7, weather was bad) and picked up a Bird Baja. It is unmolested, almost complete, running kart, BUT needs a good massage, like new 5 spoke steel front wheels, 1 is rusted through. Also, this being my first "vintage" kart, I am unfamiliar with the 8 hp Tecumseh, it to needs parts. Carb and exhaust, any recommendations on hop up stuff. Thanks for being here, I hope I can learn from Y'all, Ron

Hello and welcome....

Can you post some pics of what you got....

The transmission and rear axle assembly is already in the basement and taking the frame down tomorrow.

What motor/transmission???

My mistake, transmission - comet clutches and a differential. It uses front wheel steering and rt / lt brake levers to spin around. 8 hp Tecumseh is the power. All stock, unmolested, and running.
