Hello from Kansas

[Tommie D]

Hi, I'm just a new old guy with a little Bird. This will be my winter restoration project.

 

[Hellion]

You ought to do well here. Already got a kart, posted a pic that's not upside down and...
You already know what it is.

You're a freaking genius! You just restructured and reset our bell curve.

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Hellion is right. You passed with flying colors.

Welcome.
And we like pics so keep us posted.

Nice go kart, now make sure to get something a little more reliable than those old 5hp briggs!

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Don't listen to him. Make that Tecumseh sing. Don't fall for the rotaderp scam!

That's a tecumseh

And welcome to the forum! Cool little kart!

 

[KingCobra]

WELCOME and can't wait to see that machine fly once you get a 7 hp 212cc Preditor engine installed!!! Glad to see that don't weigh a ton like some boat anchors I've seen around here

 

[Hellion]

I'm with Anickode. It is most definitely a Tecumseh 3, 4, or 5 HP. Flathead too.

You guys are disappointing.

 

[Tpdingo]

That's a tecumseh

And welcome to the forum! Cool little kart!

I will reference just about any flathead as a briggs. Just kinda a habit of mine

BTW, a stock 3HP predator sound AMAZING!

 

[Tommie D]

Thanks for the welcome.
It's a 3 1/2 hp Tecumseh. I got it from one of the two lucky brothers that found it under their Christmas tree back in 1976. He said he tried to start in back in 1995 but no luck so I sure it sat with gas still in it for years. I'm hope the restoration goes smooth so I can surprise my nine and ten year old boy's with it. Plus I got to build a Dad size kart too!

Cut the frame, weld some slightly smaller pipe inside the frame. Put some bolt holes and make a telescoping frame. Your brake and throttle cables will require some slack.

what part of ks?

 

[Nosandwich]

Stalker ^^^^.JK.

But, seriously, you don't list your location, but want someone to narrow theirs?

 

[chazekxt]

well its ks so why do u think I asked that ?

 

[Nosandwich]

Cause ya didn't want to travel far?

Point is; if you don't fill out YOUR PROFILE LOCATION, we don't know where you are.
