Here's a couple. I believe the kart is called a Spitfire.

OK, that's what I thought, it certainly is not a Homelite. It actually struck me as homemade but there were no close ups. The frame layout is wrong. Thanks.

Im no expert on karts, but it has the looks of a McCulloch kart, a R1 or a F1. |

The square tube frame design is what makes this kart different than most I've seen. It has an enclosed axle, disc brake and dual mounts. Very nice.

Old thread, but having fun reading. When I was a kid I always wanted to make a cart with our 9HP 180CC Disston DA211 twin cylinder. How about a cart with twin Super 1050's or maybe twin C72's? Like I don't have enough half finished projects? Joe.

My goal as a kid looking for a kart was to put a motorcycle engine on with a transmission. I drew up a scale plan with a truss frame made of small tubing. Never had the money to buy the parts I could not make. Never had a place to drive it anyway.
Now of course shifter karts are all the rage and you can buy one with enough money. There are tracks around too.

All that I have is a 1962 teardown and hop-up manual from Karting World.
