vintage kart?

[Iron Honky]

Anyone have any idea what this kart is? Has a west bend 2 stroke motor. Checking it out today.

It looks like a old Bug rental/amusement park kart. When you see that kind of "cage" and front bumper that's usually where they came from. But I'm no expert...maybe someone else knows dead on
Looks like fun :thumbsup:

Thanks. Yeah it caught my eye so I might go pick this up tonight.

That Kart reeks of vintage '60's karting. You really lucked out with that engine still being attached. Kool :thumbsup:

 

[Iron Honky]

Its only the 580 smaller one but still really cool. Sounds definitely like a two stroke running

Yeah took the winter off. Moved so now I have a bigger garage and an acre of land so coming back in full force. Not really a kart guy but couldn't help myself.

I run a 580 on a vintage kart. It pulls me around with no problems. I was recently offered $400 for it from someone on this site- right out of the blue.

Good score.

Good score.

Considering I paid less than that for everything I think I got a deal. Thinking about doing a total restore on the cart. Gotta find a recoil cover for the 580 and an air filter cover to be complete

I've been looking for a pull start recoil assy for awhile now for my 580. It currently sports the Tecumseh assembly, and it works fine.

Good to know. Thanks
