Rupp Kart with Harley-Davidson Snowmobile Engine

[Acolytus]

I ended up buying a very unique summer project for only $240 today...I pretty sure it is a 60s - 70s Rupp go kart frame if I am not mistaken. Well the owner before me mounted a 70's 440CC Harley-Davidson snowmobile engine on it and rode it around for a while and ended up storing it in his garage which was taking up a lot of room. It doesn't run, but has really good compression. It probably just needs a carburetor cleaning and new spark plugs to get running again!

This is my first go-kart ever, and it is gonna be an interesting little project.

Ruttman kart in pic below...plastic school chair seats. That one resembles a Rupp or something.

Yep. It is the remains of a Rupp Dart kart.

Yeah I think you guys are right. It does look more like a Rupp of some sort. I fixed the named lol. Thanks for the help!

That would be a death trap. I love it.
