After trying to find out what kind of kart this is I think I finally found it, From all the info I could find its looks just like a yamaha rc 100s go kart. I need to find parts like now.

Its definitely not a Yamaha RC100, their master cylinder is located in the back and they have a hoop-style steering column support shown in the RC100 pics I've posted below:

The RC100 was also a streat rail type of chassis made for sprintkart-type race tracks with right/left turns.
Your yellow kart is an offset (also called LTO) type chassis made for oval-racing, that's why its steering column is offset to the left, and its axle is offset to the right.

There's probably like 3o different manufacturers that made offset racekarts over the years. I cant tell what brand yours is, but the guys at this oval racing forum: http://www.4cycle.com/forumdisplay.php?3-General-Karting-Discussion probably could ID it if you posted another thread with your pics there :thumbsup:
