resto mod race kart with questions

[philip metzner]

If that is a Bug Kart from the 70's. There are a few Vintage kart racers from Fla and Ga. I would pull the clone and advertize the rest for sale. I have seen some of those vintage rollers go for some big $.

That is not a Bug kart. It looks like a Bug Wasp, but it isn't. Its a loose copy. I cant remember the name but its something like FKE. I'm going to try to post a pic of a wasp but I havent done that here in a long time, so here goes.

Its been a long time since I have seen a Bug Wasp/Stinger. So I was not sure, that is why I posted if it is a Bug. Those two pictures you posted are very nice karts. Are they yours? Don B.

Do you know what brand it is or model or aproximittly what year it is?

One of those karts showed up on a vintage kart forum I belong to and was Identified, but I cant remember where. I remember the name was three letters, and that it was made in Canada.
The pics I sent arent mine. My kart is under construction, but I'll send a couple pics of it anyway. on a Bug kart the main larger frame tube forms the upper part of the front porch and the lower part is made from smaller 3\4 tube. Thrashers is the reverse of. Also a bug has a box like structure holding two axle bearings on the right rear and the rear bumper and mounting is different.

What engine in the 1st picture? Very nice kart.

Thank you, but my frame is still diffirent, on the left part of my frame their is a big loop and mine dosent have dual cassets for the rear axle. But the front end looks very similar.

the pictures I sent last are of my Bug Wasp. It is still under construction. The engine in the first pic is a Mc93 McCulloch. The kart is going to be raced at Barnsville Ga on the paved road course. The kart qualifies for the vintage sidewinder classes. Thrasher spoke of the nerf bar on the left side of his. Mine are bolt on, and are not bolted on yet

I thought is was a Mac, but could not completely tell from the picture. Good luck at Barnsville, keep the rubber side down. Don B.
