Dual engine kart. What is it?

[Lizardking]

Old racer? Any info appreciated. The engines is what peaked my interest. They could be upgraded or just plain Jane flatheads. Seller doesn't know about the kart.

Kinda looks like it might of been a 1/4 midget at one time.

This kart sports nice twin Briggs flatheads with one running the opposite direction. Interesting..

look again. they both run the same direction.

look again. they both run the same direction.

I'm going by what the builders are claiming and showing on the YouTube video. The left briggs runs in reverse. Did we not see the same video??? Looks like the video was put to private now. I was talking about the kart on the video that is now private and not the pictures of the kart in my first post.

@kirk Here's more info on the twin flatheads kart with one running in reverse that was in the YouTube video.

You guys are talking about two different karts, just in case anybody else is confused.

They would only be running in opposite direction if each crank were pointed outward. Both engines are oriented in the same manner. Both crankshafts are on the left side of their engine. Have to be turning in the same direction.
Did you buy it? It's got to have a lot of torque.

I wasn't saying that the kart in my first post has the reverse running Briggs. I'm aware they run the same.

The one on the video had the flatheads crank facing each other. It is 2 different karts and was just showing the nice chrome twin Briggs on the one in the video.

Haven't pulled the trigger yet on the kart.

That‘s just somebody's old forgotten monster. Act cool and go buy it before the seller figures out it should be hanging from the rafters.

The one in the original post, looks like it would be a great parking lot beater!
