Picked the up for $275 today. Was hangin in old guys garage for past 10 years. Added some fliud and few shot of starting fliud and ut started right up. Super fast.

Anyway what did I buy? looks like some really nice parts. Burris motor mount. Hortsman clutch. Some Yamaha 100cc engine. Disc brakes.

Any info would be cool for I know nothing about these race karts. I scaned under and all over for any numbers whicj I could not find. I need to go over really good though for there could be some hidding.

I got a box of parts, A starter and about 10 split sprockets all of which is in the tote in front of the kart.

How did I do on Value? I figured it was worth $275. Running condition was a big plus for I took the old guys word that it ran.

Here some pics

Ya the freaks keep leaving them on the side of my house. When ever I need a cart I go grab one. Once a week the store will pick up about 5 karts.

This is a buy and sale kart. Looking to make a few hundred bucks. I do not even come close to fitting in that seat.

That's a noisy little bugger but it can fly. I would keep it to zip around in.

This one was found on CL. But it was under Garage Sales listed as GO Cart. He had a buch of stuff for sale in the same add. I got lucky for he listed his number.

I asked about the Kart and it sounded like something I better check out.

If you live it big city CL can be good scores. You have to search gokart go kart gocart and go carts. Also off road buggy,cart kart Etc. Etc example YERF DOG OR YERFDOG

Each searched keyword will bring up different listings. Search in all catergories. .

Also search 3 to 4 times a day so you get first pickins. A lot of the time CL sellers like to sale to first emailer. So do not delay mail them asap or call asap if they list a number. I can't count on how many times the seller told me he is holding or waiting for the first emailer.
