Wasn't one of the ladies here on the board looking at, or for one of those?

**Snake Bitten** · July 31st, 2003, 07:04 PM

Dunno...but it's up for auction...currently $1,600...with seems like a great deal!

Money says Mark O picks it up!!!

$1600? That is nuts. The go-kart itself is maybe $500 tops.

Dude...that thing is seriously collectable...not to mention that it should haul ass with a baby shot of laughing gas!

You don't need juice to make it go. Just hook up the throttle direct and remove govn. on it. It will then spin to 6200 rpm safely if it is the Tec. OHV engine.

But will only reach about 5200 due to the gearing it has.

Add a header and high-rev valve springs and you are good for 7500. If you want 10,000+ you will need a billet block and full internals.

Don't ask....

I would hope that she checks out exactly which hp engine it comes with.

The Ebay add says it is 5hp electric start but the place selling them new, that Toby listed, says it comes with a 3.5hp engine standard and that a 6hp with or without electric start is extra. :bonk:

Could just be a typo......but one can never be too careful.

$1600??

2001 Sapphire Blue · August 7th, 2003, 01:21 PM

Does it have an engine? If not, what's up with the $1,600?
