Alright I'm going to get this thing going dang it! The tires are totally shot and I have to air one up every two days so since I need tires I decided to change up the wheels. Got these 14x7 wheels for a good deal. They have a nice jdm look about them. Edit: after doing some research the wheels are Superior Pantera's from the 70's
Actually still for sale, I pulled the listing after I got a lot of responses and offers. I'm going to take some good pictures and might throw it up on ebay. Someone overseas or in Canada might jump on it.
Well I joined a vintage kart forum to find some more info on it and I located a serial number on it which is EL 866. Found out the kart is an Emmick Elite made in 1985 the same year I was born. The very wide tires indicate it was used for dirt oval racing at some point.
I finally got around to rebuilding the carb and the kart fired right up! Here's a short vid of it's first run. The camera died on us so this is all I have for now. The carb needs some fine tuning but danm this thing is fast!
