Keith Freber at Margay has also been helpful in helping me to identify some old Margay Karts.

I also restored a Kart and am going through the same learning process as your self. Here is what I have learned. There are several ways to improve turning on a live axle Kart. In short, since both rear tires are driving the Kart, it will want to go straight. The basic concept everyone...

My apologies for not updating the listing yesterday. Got a real bad virus and coudn't get off the couch. The Tec has been sold. Just got the Briggs.

Price reduced. After poking around I think I had them too high. Will take $65 and $35 or $85 for both.

5 HP Tecumseh from a 521 snowblower. Has electric start and key. 3/4 shaft. Late 70's to mid 80's perhaps, good compression, This was on my snowblower and was used up until this winter twice a year. The carb needs work so I didn't use it this year. We had no shovelable snow this season so I...

We'll I got her all finished. The throttle was not hooked up in the photos but I ended up going with a similar setup to what is outlined on the Affordable Go Karts website. I got my wifes sewing machine out and got some marine vinyl and stitched up a seat. The stripe matches the frame...

I realize this thread is quite old and has evolved but figured I would throw my two cents in. I built a monster for 1/3 third the cost of buying it. I found an IR with a bad head on it. I gave the guy scrap value for it. I think I paid 75 bucks and got an 80 gallon tank out of the deal. I...

Nevermind . . . easy come easy go.

A Yerf Dog kart just landed in my lap. 200 bucks complete but disassembled. This included a new HF 6.5. I am ging to look at it tonight. I know the price is good but is there anything specifically I should look for? All I know is that it is a two seater. Are these things any fun? It...

Yes it is for the kart. Guess I should have posted that huh? Thanks for the options everyone!

I know you can buy 'em new cheap. But I am getting to "Holy Crap I got more money into this than I thought!" stage

Bill of Materials so far . . . . Rolling frame at a yard sale - $5 Clutch and Chain - $42 Tires - $63 Shiney Gas Cap - $8 Paint - $12 1 used wheel - $20 Vinyl and upholstery thread for seats - $16 Misc Nuts and Bolts - $10 New Bearings - $8 Frame less motor - $189 Motor - $130...

So after a few days of thinking about this I decided to scratch the gas tank idea, keep the stock gas tank on the motor, and move the motor back. I had a buddy that owns a fab shop punch some holes in a piece of 1/4 inch steel for me. I put four studs up for the motor and four studs down to...

This is listed on CL in my area. The owner may be willing to trade for stuff I have that I don't use. The stuff I have is good though so I don't want to trade it for somethng valueless. I know what the motor is but is the frame / wheels something useful or decent for a build?? Looks like...

Gumpit . . . I placed a call to get more pics and left a message that there was interest in the trike. If he sends pics and I'll post them here. If you want to meet with him to do a deal this weekend then I would just put you guys in touch with each other.

Me either! I actually plan on mounting it a bit lower. I was holding that up with one hand, then leaning over and shooting the pic with the other hand to get an idea of what it would look like.

YUP . . .Thats the guy. It's really off the beaten path. He is only about 20 minutes from me but the last 5 miles is dirt road. There is only one other property between the paved road and his. I heard Banjo's in my head the whole time I was there but he was a good dude.

Well I got a vintage tank from what I believe to be a gravely tractor. I beaded it and polished it up. It got a few bumps in it but I painted the straps to match and it adds a nices vintage touch to the Kart. The brackets to mount this thing are another issue. Perhaps beyond my abilities. I...

Yes it is in Noxen. I don't know if it is complete or not. He said it is all there. The front of the bike was buried under stuff. The sun was going down on us and I was in a hunt for a gas tank for the kart I am doing. I believe, and I don't like to quote others prices, that he was asking...

Whew . . the guy had a lot of stuff. Mostly 2 cycle bikes. He did have few mini frames. One was redone and partly chopped. It was nicely painted, had a motor and clutch, wouldn't have been too hard to finish. He wanted 80. He had a Kart frame that had some re-welds on it so wasn't...
