Hi guys:
always wanted a go kart since the 1960's. Started looking for a project and found an $100 basket case in November 2016.
It came with a tecumseh 3hp with a dip stick and 4 azusa tri-star rims. I put it together but it to some doing to rig up the brakes and throttle. Do you think it may be a Azusa Bug relative ? All i know is it like the ones I envied in the 60s and 70s and I love it.
Finally got it rigged with a 212CC predator. In February I took it apart, sanded it down to the bare metal, straighten all the bent parts. It was free from rust and basically good shape. I got a brand new axle and a 6" drum brake, new tie rods, tires and 5 coats of spray paint.
What do you think it may be ? Sears ? Montgomery Wards ? Deriviation of a Clark ? thanks for the help and comments.
I also have a fresh 5hp flathead if I want to keep in period correct. I think I'll put torque converter with a clone on it for now and hot rod around my parking lot race course with my sons.
