That is a high price, plus it looks as if it doesn't have the front grill, which is the hardest part to find.  I bought a similar one about five years ago for $120.00, but of course it was rusty, though complete, and with the original B&S engine which still runs.  You can buy a lot of rust-converter and paint for $1700.  Ian.

You cannot get very much more minimalist than this. And, yes, very humorous restoration tip.

Want something smaller than a Peel: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ESHELMAN-MIDGET-CAR-/190576886973?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item2c5f4484bd#ht_500wt_1182

Briggs and Stratton engine?

I need one of those for my mower, it has a very bad cylinder (still useable, but must lose loads of power).

HI JOnathann. Which briggs and stratton is in your kart? I just fitted a new one to my lawn mower because I hit a steel post with it and bent the crank shaft, the barrel is good though. Any use to you?

My lawn mower engine is much smaller than that so it would be no good to you. Sorry.

Yep, more powerful than Messerschit!


No prob Bob, the engine is better than it was, its still useable.

I think the main go kart is finished, maybe a few "fixes" and mods left, but I thionk its good enough for running!

This was the main problem whehn the belt kept coming off... The pulley I made was a bit crap (not much ;) )
