Well, I stumbled onto this place through a yahoo search, and was curious.
I hope to be a contributing member.
I dont race go karts, I just fix them, and ride them around.
I can be somewhat helpful on older 2-6hp b&s motors.
So feel free to ask, and I hope everyone here doesn't mind if I ask..
My gokart , I purchased two of them from a friend, and one had a motor, the other didn't, both are two seaters, from the late 70s-early 80s, or newer, not sure, no tages or identification.
I will post pics as soon as I can.
The one motor is a 5hp briggs, I think it is 70s or 80s, it has the solid steel/aluminium housing and crank, all bolted, no rivets.
great block, great cylinder, no scratches.
Needs rings badly however.
I am doing a full rebuild on it soon.
I already outfitted it with a new carb and gas tank(old stuff was rusted out)
Carb has permanent jet placement, I might upgrade carbs becuase of that.
Motor was taken care of, but used a lot.
Rings are so shot it wont start now, and I plan to rebuild the whole thing, and put in a new coil, becuase the old one has a cracked housing.
The other gokart, I am outfitting with a 6.5hp briggs i/c ohv motor, which might get animalized.
Anyway, enough yapping on my part.
Hope to get to know some of you.
