Destec Inc radio flyer kart.

[Tuna]

Hello everybody yes I am new to this site. I just picked up this new toy from a friend of mine it has been sitting for nine years. I am looking to bring it back to life I have so many questions I don't know where to start. First off it is a two-stroke motor I would love to know what kind of motor it is so that I can get parts for it as well as a carburetor rebuild kit. Also wondering where I can get replacement parts for the custom chrome pedal and steering assembly . Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

SUCCESS!

That's a cool looking kart, not like anything I've seen before...

It is one of many "custom" karts "hotrodded" from a base Radio Flyer wagon (the child's toy). Looks more of a show piece than anything. Engine between your legs huh?

Bonus points for the side pipe. That looks cool.

It's wicked fast. ... I am surprised that nobody on here is familiar with where I can get parts for this motor

Give it time--it IS Saturday and 2/3rds of the forum may not even be conscious yet.

It's wicked fast? Then why do you need parts?

I googled that company and they are just a machine shop in Las Vegas,
Somebody had that cart custom made and painted for their machine shop.
Destec is not the manufacturer of that kart.
It is totally custom made with whatever parts were on the market at the time.
If the particular part is available you would have to search and find it to replace it.

It looks like a form of a kt100 Yamaha. But can't tell for sure.

I need a pic of the other side please.

And those are so fun. Here's one that my dad owned and I rode quite often. It had forward neutral and reverse. And a small 2-stroke engine.
