I went to look at and buy an 80s Suzuki fa50. I saw the man had 2 go kart frames and took the 3 home for $140. I am not sure who made them and I will prabobly just custom build them but I would like to know how they were set up from the factory. The blue one has some obvious bad welds so I am not yet sure what PO fixed or modified. I'm still new to building and buying karts so let me know how I did.
New pics! I did find out the blue one is a Klipper Kart Sidewinder. Which is cool because I had one as a kid, in the same town, that my parents sold before we moved away. Could be the same one? Unfortunately, somebody cut up the roll cage, cut the axle and added pillow blocks to make it a 1 wheel peel. Did some other weird modifications too.
The other I am still unsure of. I am thinking possibly Manco but, I have not seen any that have that side bumper that goes all the way back.
The scooter noped I think is a 1984 Suzuki FA50. If the motor is good I may use it, if not I'll prabobly part it out and sell it. I think fully restored they can go for $1000 and this one is missing alot of parts.
