Default For sale, Go Kart project.

Due to not having time or space and my welder needs repairing ive decided to sell my go kart project.



Its consists of...
A rolling chassis, apart from 1 tyre, all ok.
Front drum brakes only but do stop quite well.
Ive roughly mounted engine but would need welding or bolting more securely,
It would be a 125cc manual geared 5 speed kart with 3 pedals and shifter, pedals are there but clutch is a bodged one by previous owner, ive got some rod i was gonna fabricate a new one with which ill include, its easy tbh.
The linkages would have to be fabricated for the gear shift and clutch action, but not hard.
It comes with a seat which is a bit rough but could be fibre glass repaired and sprayed or just get another.
Steering wheel is missing the boss to mount it but if you have access to a lathe its a piece of p1ss to knock one up for it.
Ive been picking up bits and bobs over time, brand new accelerator cable, small petrol tank off a generator, small battery etc.

The engine is button start and has loom but probably needs tidying up, engine runs fine but loom took some working out to get it to run as it came with no instruction, ill include haynes manual for that engine.
I have an older 125 kick start engine which would run if stator and points were re-installed, ill include this also if required FOC.

The engine doesnt have an exhaust but i have some pipe that i was given with a chrome end can, or just pick up a cheapo one from a breakers, which is what i was gonna do.

Worse bit is the engine when i bought it had a snapped exhaust stud which previous owner had a bodge at drilling out badly, 3 options are, get it sparked out by a engineering firm, shouldnt cost much, swap the head over with the other engine im including (if it will fit) or load up with extra material the exhaust clamp so that one bolt will clamp it up sufficiently, it is only a go kart after all.

Im after £135 only to recover my spend on parts for it, engine alone cost me £85.
Once done this will make a cracking kart with added benefit of gears so will go quite well.

Cheers, Phil
