Building my first go kart

[Csth1985]

I have a Murray red go kart doing my first build all I have is the frame and pedals if everything goes good I definitely won't be my last just finished up a 1970 Trailblazer mini bike so I can get into this kind of stuff having a hard time finding parts for the Murray can find a part diagram but nowhere to purchase anything anyone have any ideas?

I could be way off track, but I beleive most of this stuff is pretty universal. OMB Warehouse, Gopowersports, BMI Karts all have a variety of wheels and tires and clutches and belts that if they aren't perfect, can at least be made to work.

Thank you I'll check some of those places out but how would I find out the length of my axle? Or any of the other details I need to know without ever seeing the parts

Well if it's not on your diagram, you can use any length axle you like, assuming it's wider than the frame.

Do you have the front steering part's?

Yes I have the front parts and rear axel now. Looks like throttle rod band brake and engine is all I need should be in good shape.

Here's an idea: PUNCTUATION! It makes posts so much easier to read...
