Hello I got into go carts because my firearms hobby got so expensive and I'm taking a break.
A while back I got a 40$ bladez 26cc scooter that had an engine on it but with the wrong muffler and the wrong air filter and the carb needed rebuilding and a bearing in the drive system was shot. I got another fully operational scooter from a friend and based a scooter rebuild from that. I stuck a seat I made up from bent pipe and rebuilt the engine for as much performance as I could gleam from a stock tanaka 26cc and the project reignited my passion for small engines.
I've been fixing chainsaws, and wood chippers and other small engine machines so why not go carts? I thought about framing the two scooters together to make a cart. So I did the reasonable thing and got a go cart.
I got a chinese cart for my first cart a week ago used off of a guy for 100$ it had a honda gx160 5hp motor on it but with a crack in the crankcase that spewed out oil and at some point he broke the crankshaft bolt off in the thing and welded a washer on to keep the centrifugal clutch in place. So I put that motor aside and got a harbor freight clone gx200 predator and a new clutch comet (questionable quality). Other than that it has a live rear axle (no differential) so it is just a play/slider cart but all I want is a car like thing I don't put insurance on and then drive like mad. Man the thing goes fast now and it has the power to really do a mean slide.
Well thats my story hi all.

and now your journey begins...... 
I really dig the design of that kart. I think you will see a copy in the future.....
