Why are you asking this on a Go-Kart forum?

 

[cumminsbayou4x4]

i figured some one would know somthing bout thim

im sure you can get the tires at HF for the trailer. Go look at it real close up so see any damage. I realize what the ad said, but it looks dirty, not well taken care of and not moved in a while...

it looks like its been sitting for a while. why would someone take off the intake manifold? make sure the engine turns over, and bring a compression tester.

you never know what happened to it. and it could be not fixable.

 

[cumminsbayou4x4]

he said the intake manafold broke and yes it difenity has been sitting i was planing to see if it turned over and to bring a comprsion tester to see if it has really been rebuilt

i wonder how that broke, just seems sketchy to me. its obviouusly not something that wears out or usually breaks. maybe im just going too far but something to think about.... its old enough that you start to not care about how those problems happened but rather only fixing it... am i making sense at all???

just cause somthin looks like its old and broke dosnt mean it is,

for example, my 71 super bettle looks like total crap,the engine looks like more of a rat home that a engine,every fender is falling off and the hood pops open unexpectidly. But it still runs strong.
Im not saying this jet ski is the same but dont judge a water/motorcraft by its apperence.if everyone looked at something and said it was total crap based on its apperence we would never find those hidden jems.i got the bettle outa some guys front yard for 300 and ALL it needed was a new battery. 10 years later it still runs great.

You should put the engine on a buggy. Just get a snowmobile CVT system. Many people swap out big 1500cc jetskii engines into their snowmobile so no reason why you couldn't do the same for a kart.
