Trying to figure out what brand my gokart is

[Akeymard]

I Bought two karts yesterday ones running but the other needs front suspension and I can’t find this model anywhere. I want to get the right A arms and springs for it but don’t know where to start.

Not sure what kart that is but do you have any other pictures of that rear RFY suspension?

Actually after looking at it, the floor pan looks very similar to a Manco Dingo 285

Any indication those rear shock mounts are not original?

The front one looks like a GT60703X92A. Need more pictures to identify the rear one in the picture. As for the shocks, this is the part number 1201085. Check this website: https://www.partsandservice.com/bin/ipl.cgi

It’s very possible that those are different shocks than the originals. I can get some better pictures this weekend. I dropped it off at my camp.

Here’s some more pictures

Looks just like this Yerf Dog some one local is selling

Yeah, that rear suspension is homemade. Not saying it's bad, but makes ID harder. You can see from the missing paint it was welded later, and they probably heated the pipe to make the bend (more missing paint). And SpeedCo appears to be correct on the frame ID.

It's not a bad concept on the rear suspension but I'd put it more at a forward angle. The way it sits now you're going to get a bad pogo effect, not ideal!

Not contradicting, but I’m thinking about this, because those shocks appear to be either fluid or gas shocks, so I would assume there would be some dapaning,

But would it still be pretty bad?

Not a Dingo, not even a Manco product!

Considering just about all suspension you see that have that style shock on go-karts, quads, motorcycles are typically at an angle it would be best to have them angle more. The preload will compress harder and faster, which if you are driving it off-road means it's more than likely going to bounce the back end around more. Shocks are designed a specific way. Just like on a Harley when you use and lowering link it sets the shock at a totally different angle, which from experience usually makes the shock perform totally different.

It's a Murray.

Not sure which model but it's somewhere between an Explorer and a Kilowatt or may be modified or a Frankenkart. Maybe someone else can narrow it down.
