| I've had this go-kart for about 4-4 1/2 years and for the past 2 it hasn't run. I got it from the Turkey Rod Run in Daytona Beach for $100 running and driving. I can't find any pictures of what it used to look like, but I know I have one somewhere. The original motor is done for thanks to MurrayMayhem, he accidentally put too big of a spark plug into the head, it exploded and locked it up. Now it has a beautifully running 5.5 horse B&S OHV that actually sounds like a twin! It needs a rear axle and the steering to be fixed. Here's what it looks like:  The picture uploader wont let me upload anything else so I'll upload more later. | |

- Nice! The wheels looks familiar
They do look familiar don't they...  The new rear setup for the suspention.  I had to hoseclamp/ziptie the gas line onto the carb because RoadKill.  And here's the awesome running 5.5hp B&S that ran with no starting fluid off of 3 year old gas!

- Any progress?
No there hasn't been, my dad was supposed to get me so 2"id pipe a couple weeks ago and hasn't had time. So this build is on the back burner til he picks some up. After I get that it's just hooking up the throttle, brakes, and gas tank. | |
