i found the first website but it didnt have the piston thanks for the links is this a good go kart and motor

Yes. The KT100 is a durable, reliable and rugged engine. It puts out about 15 hp. A new KT100 runs ~$750. Instead of just a piston, you may want a full, top-end rebuild. However, Comet charges $400-600 for that. Can't beat a Margay kart. But, you need to make the final decision as to how much whatever you are trading for it is worth to you.

ill be trading an atv im getting for free from my cousin and it doesnt run

 

[OzFab]

Sounds like a fair swap then; an ATV that doesn't run for a kart that doesn't run

Margay spindles, yes.. Margay kart.... uhm I doubt it.
Check for the serial number (and yes it MUST have one)
if you can't find a number, it's for sure not a Margay, and very likely NOT race legal at all
(otherwise there is at least a FIA homologation number)

That is a Margay chassis. I cant believe Sid thinks its not... Its a great frame to start with and will be a fun machine.
