Thank for the help guys! I almost went out and bought a new predator to slap on this booger but thought i would like the aesthetic look of its presumed original motor and patina. I never had karts growing up so this is my first one. I probably shouldve started here instead of throwing money at a car for track days. Live and learn though.
Totally understood. For the cost of one jalopy, give or take, you can have like 3 go karts and a few mini bikes and have change leftover. Not to mention you can basically stack them all in the garage or in the same footprint a car would take up.
I think the grin quotient is way higher with karts though. You did good.
Kudos on keeping the engine. Run it, learn it, break it (via honest use/abuse). Then you can throw a Harbor Freight 212cc on it, etc.
EDIT: Wait, is that a flathead Tecumseh? The HS50 description says it is. Save it for a mini-bike fan boy and sell it for big bucks. They are getting hard to find...but the OHV Tecs are like a dime/dozen...
