No such thing as a Restoration using non-original parts, so it's doubtful it had a Honda GX engine on it to begin with. I don't think the word "restore" means what you think it means, lol

Wait, I can't even tell there's a kart there. :ack2:

CAn YoU dO a whOlE SeRiEs of photos of the kart all alone, on freshly cut grass or something that's visually plain?

Good photos, left/right/front/rear and closeups of the components. It looks vintage-ish or it could be a modern rendition of someone's wet dream...

Whatever that thing is it's got some very unusual mechanical aspects going on with it, from the pedal linkages to the CVT cover to the steering hoop. That thing's crying out for a full restoration or at the least a resto mod. If you don't want to do it yourself, maybe you could sell it to me. Contact me here or at email " mrlcwest@hotmail.com ".
