I hope you use it on another project. That thing is really cool.
Do you think this is a good kart?

Nope, But it is not stock. I can nice mods all thru it. Works rear shocks for one.
The thing about FL350's is. You can find them running for $2000 but everything lose and bad for the most part. FL350 parts are not cheap like the fl250's are. So your looking at about $1000 to restore them. Then again you can find a nice well cared for one for $3000 rang. Sick ones for like $3500 and up.
For this reason the FL250 will never be much more than $1500 to $1800 for perfect ones. If you have the money you just jump up to a FL350. So you can say there is a cap on FL250's no matter how nice they are.
Some day I will have an FL350 or a true Stadium Light racer.
Every now and then you see basket case FL350 pop up for $1000. But it takes real money to restore them.

Measure twice cut once
expensive! 1,000 for a basket case! it would take me a year to scramble $1,000.
i would be more interested in an fl250, but for that money, i'm going to want rear suspension.
anyway, i'm still not sure i have anywhere good to ride...
does the fl350 use a-arms front and rear? does it use a-arms at all. the pilot is all double a-arm right?

was looking at my sidewinder plans again, those plans plus the 550 sled engine on cl for $500 is mighty tempting. still too expensive, maybe i should just not think about price and just save up money and buy one part at a time, and maybe this time next year i would have a buggy? still wouldn't have a great place to ride it, maybe i would have to go into the woods with my chainsaw (chainsaws are fun!). i gotta stop drifting off to other projects, already have like 5 i'm working on.
p.s. sorry for jacking your thread!

I think they are a trailing arm suspension both front and back.
