Identification help

[wayneburgess]

Hi. Can anyone help me identify this yard fun kart. Any help would be appreciated. I’d like to restore it back to original. Originally it had Red frame. yellow seat. No numbers or ID tags. rear wheel 6 inch front wheel 5 inch. Thanks. Wayne

While it does have lightweight nylon/Zytel racing kart wheels, the frame looks heavily modified, custom and/or homemade to me. Looks like the seat and the front axle slides via telescoping tubing....

I will wait for the other members to chime in.

Has some nice pieces for sure. Very decent find, imo.

Hi. The seat rest is not original. Front bumper has been replaced with new metal. Front half of the frame is telescopic with the pedals attached. the seat adjust on rails. It looks like it was built in the factory good clean factory welds. Definitely not a home build kart. I believe the original seat may have been a red fibreglassbucket seat

Id say that was a busted kart someone made functional again. Those aren't factory welds.
Looks like a briggs flathead engine.
In my opinion you attempt be original again my be futile.
Make it run again and ride it.

over the years it has been modified slightly and fixed up. most of the welds ain’t factory, but I thought one or two welds around the towing eye. and the rear axle mounts were. The 5HP Briggs & Stratton flat Engine is not original, but it is the same era. Thanks for your advice it’s appreciated.
