I was given two 2011 Top Kart Flash Rotax karts that had not been used for at least 7 years. They looked pretty rough when I got them. The best looking one of the two I just did the bare minimum to get it running so I could go out for practice days. I will come back and strip that one completely when I get the other one built up.
The second one looks like it has had a rough life. The side pods were bent upwards on both sides and the rear bumper was bent and had been repaired at some point. I have stripped this one completely and checked the frame for straightness and it is actually ok. Frame is now at the powder coaters. The engine I am going to give an overhaul but there is something strange on the crankcase, where there should be what I think was a blanking plug someone has done a bodge with a piece of all thread and a nut and washers. Not sure what I will find behind that lot!
I will be spending a bit of time on the Top Kart website ordering parts! I know I need a fuel tank for sure and brake parts.
I’ll update the post as I proceed with the builds.
Picked up the chassis from the powder coaters today. It is blue candy chrome, looks more bling in person 
Now the fun part building it back up.
Nice look. Metallic flake is always awesome.
Cleeaannnn. Excited to see how it turns out when put back together.
Looking good! Nice work.
Well the first Top Kart resto is more or less done now. Just need to finish lock wiring and get an Li battery then for a test drive. The other one is usable just looks a bit tatty, I’ll do the resto on that one next winter.
Nice work and what a fleet!
Thanks! I’m trying to give the motorcycles up but can’t seem to let go. I’d like to just have the karts and bicycles at some point.
Great work . Im enjoy the ride ! A dream garage you got there ! Keep going and i wish you a ton of fun .
