That is a Ken Bar S-465 Streaker. If it doesn't say "Streaker" it will often have the "Rebel" decal (a Confederate cavalry officer on a go kart) on the floor pan. Ken Bar is often confused with Carter Brothers.

Here's the Briggs & Stratton Single Cylinder L-Head Service Manual 270962 (plus a scan of the book cover for reference) for FREE: The table of contents is interactive.

Noticed similar on one of my first cars, a hand-me-down 1980 Honda Civic. The oil filler cap on the valve cover always developed a layer of oil on the underside that was the color of coffee with creamer. It always bothered me because it didn't look right. Never noticed it in the crankcase oil...

Do the karts have to be intact with the complete body, color scheme and graphics? Just in case, this is what they look like in original condition but owners (unfortunately) like to customize with spray paint and so forth so they may not be recognizable any longer...

Get one of those infrared temperature guns and aim it at the cylinder head, exhaust or muffler area and block after a few hot laps around the block or back forty in the heat of summer. Even with the constant blower-forced air flow across the cooling fins, air cooled engines run a lot hotter...

TOTE GOTE is FIRST!

Wow thanks for the news. The guy did a LOT of work for vehicles in movies and TV that are culturally relevant; Shuttlecraft from Star Trek: The Original Series (1966) Jupiter 8 from episode "Bread and Circuses" (Trek) Police "Spinner" from Blade Runner (1982) 6000 SUX from RoboCop (1987) ...
