I will make the impossible possible. Just wait and see
As for the death note. Im installing seatbelts.
This thread will be data intensive.
Ok great! So now you have physical restraints to keep your body ATTACHED to your splintery contraption as you tumble down the road. Great call. That's called being committed.

Thing is, my parents arent letting me work on the project till school ends. I may not ne able to get it till next thursday. Maybe i can pick it up this weekened
If you guys didnt notice, he has two that he is selling for $100 together. Do you guys think it would be a good try to offer $50 for just the two seater?
Hopefully i can get this guy to reserve it for me.

Whatever you can get would be great!! I would definately try get the one that has front wheels etc. If not, you will have a lot of work on your hands

At the very least, CONTACT HIM!!!
Even better, two for the price of one
If there's a complete kart & a bare frame, I doubt he'll let the complete kart go for $50

First i have to convince my parents. Another thing. I have some woods in my neighborhood, but i would have to drive my kart on the street to get there. (there is not much traffic) Are cops usually cool about this, or do they insist on giving a ticket for "operating an unlicensed vehicle"?
Once my parents are cool with it, (they have no problem with me building a cart, so getting a safer frame should not be a problem) i will difinetely get in contact with this guy. I have no problem paying $100, but i dont need two frames.

He probably just wants to get rid of them. Offer $50 for the 2 seater and go from there. If you have to buy both, go ahead. Then you can relist the other one to get some return on your money. He posted that 8 days ago so he may be willing to deal. GOOD LUCK!

No i havent. I've been trying several search terms and didnt see this one. Thanks! Ill definitely think about that too. Its considerably bigger though than the other one, but it does have a roll cage. Do you think my 4hp brigss would handle all that extra weight?

No. It would be too small. But that kart looks like a good deal.

Yeah it is a good deal. I would still have to spend $100 + dollars on a motor though.,
Could my motor have enough power for the original kart i psted?

I notice the front tires look flat or broken.

Flat tire aint hard to fix!
Hopefully thats all thats wrong with this.
Soooo, what do you guys vote i get.
The kart without the motor, or the complete one?

Id try for the one with engine. Should be easier to get running I rekon.

I'd say get the one with the engine, definitely. You'll get more use out of that for your money. If you fix it up and run it and decide you're not feeling it, you should be able to bounce it back up for sale. Clean it up and get it running and you're looking at a profit, too.
Good luck.
