Look who's karting

[shake this]

Well, I never thought that at my age (38) I'd find myself on a go kart site but here I am.

Loved karts when I was a kid and had a blast driving them but didn't care to learn the mechanical side of them. I guess you could call me Cole Trickle of karting. For those that might be a little to young to catch the reference, rent Days of Thunder with Tome Cruise.

Anyway, I have an 8 year old daughter that wanted a electric car for Christmas or her birthday and after talking it over with the wife and after much hesitation from her, we decided a gas powered kart would be more enjoyable for years to come. Now trying to find a kart in the dead of winter in my area is impossible so I had to take the path to the left and ended up with two used karts for $350.00 (I hope I got a good deal.)

Both karts are two seaters. The larger is a Murray GT60101X92D with a Tecumseh engine. The smaller one is a Red Talon model 24995 with a B&S model# 136212. Be prepared for a million questions as I’m going to attempt to refurbish both of them and give my daughter the smaller one to keep. I'm currently looking for wheels and tires for the Red Talon so if anyone has any suggestions.

I'll post pictures of the Red Talon in teardown once my account is approved.

Judging from the picture you have a good candidate for a restoration. Is that the way you got the kart or are you taking it apart? Here is a parts breakdown for TalonParts breakdown, if you need anything else feel free to ask.

The only thing I removed before taking the pictures was the seat and roll cage. Other then that, it's pretty much how it looked when I pulled it from the guys yard. It's cleaning up real nice so I think everything will be ok. Thanks for the parts breakdown, it's helped in keeping things in order.
