Hello everyone,

I am new to this forum and I have recently joined because I was gifted an old go kart

The Kart hasn’t run in over 10 years and was hanging on a garage wall. I was told it was a 2-stroke and manual with clutch 125cc. I love cars and car racing and know a little mechanic but since I am unsure as to how to restore this amazing kart if even possible.

I am not sure how these high RPM engines are in terms of fragility after so many years of being stored.

It doesn’t seem as the fluid was taken out and I have not started the engine yet I know I will have to replace a few bolts. Clean the brakes and replaces lines and wires, but I was curious to know your opinion as knowledgeable go kart mechanics.

Considering I want to use it at the track (not competitively) but still use it properly, should I go see a kart mechanic in my area to restore it to make sure everything is in good working condition or do it all myself.

My goal is to make this thing work no matter what.

Thanks again for reading!
