Go Kart Id Help

Hi, I am hoping someone can give me some info. There are no marking at all the frame or motor. Any info would be great.

Looks like a 'Johnny Homemade' to me. Cool set up for sure!!

Is it 2 stroke? It sorta looks like a backpack leaf blower motor.

It is a 2 stroke, but the engine doesn't turn when you pull the rope. I guess the plastic one way pawl is worn out. If i new what brand of motor it is, I could get this thing running. I found two Japanese/Chinese stamps on the steel part attached to the crank. Any ideas?

Since its not turning you may want to check the sleeve and see if there is a pinch in it because form my experience it happens quite often but if you can spin the crank and the piston rotates than this is not the case. You may want to invest in a name brand motor since getting parts for these is quite easy.

Any idea what the discoloration is on what looks to be the chain cover in your first pic? From the angle shown it looks like something got hot?

Looks like a reflection of fuel tank.

I found the starter parts I needed by searching 49cc. You are right. The discoloration is a reflection. Thanks for the help.
