is there even a front end????????
Pull it out of the weeds doesnt really look like u bought it looks like it has been sitten there for some time

Yes, there is a front end! Just needs front tires. Those are just pre-resteration pics. Only been there 1 month. The car beside it has been there for 4 years!!! The old owner droped it there, so we could pick it up.

It's gonna need a lot before it is up and running. You will need to sand the TC faces, get a new chain or preform electrolysis on the current one, and probably clean the TC and carb. I think it has a 40 series TC judging by the look of the driver and that the driven is mounted inboard. You will need to reset the driven also, and maybe install new buttons. The belt needed will be determined by the distance from the center of the motor PTO to the center of the JS. Measure accurately to the 16th of an inch.

pull it out of the weeds and take some better pics. after you get the new wheels and belt go for a test drive and see how she feels. then youll know what other mods youll have to do to the kart. better seat, suspension, tires, engine, speed, torque, etc. But dont change anything until you ride it first. you might eff it up like i did on my first kart. ;D

 

[B man]

change the chain. or atleast wd-40 it be fore you try to ride.

 

[j.concepcion54321]

Take pics of your kart in your yard. We cannot see what is happening in all those weeds. It would also help us to help you with your problems. We also like seeing lots of pics....so go and get the camera, and start taking some.

Fixed pull starter today, cleaned carb, and got 16in tires for extras!!!!! Still need belt!!!!!

you really should sandblast the TC, or hand sand, and rebuild it.
