New guy from Louisiana - resurrecting my old Dingo 285

[Contender54]

My Dingo 285 has been sitting in the barn for almost 20 years.
I noticed it the other day so I drug it out and started working on it.
The fuel tank is an issue but The information on this forum has been helpful already.
I’ll probably start another thread with the progress and issues.
Anyway, the avatar picture is how it looked the day I took it out of the barn.

Have you made any progress on your kart? I have the same exact one as you.

Yes, I got it running. It would have made more sense to swap in the Harbor Freight engine, but I wanted to see if I could get the old Briggs & Stratton running again.
The metal fuel tank was so bad that I replaced the carb and the tank.
