Unidentified 2 Stroke Kart Engine - csnister1 - 10-16-2017

With a split flywheel, it looks like it would make a good paperweight.......

i know what your saying, but if it's a vintage motor that i can find the parts for. I want to make it a rebuild project for my Grandsons

Aha, though I think you'd be way better off to find an old 580 West Bend instead.
These can be had for about $150, and parts are readily available.
The engine that you have looks like nothing I have ever seen before.
If it is just for the boys to play with, an old Briggs and Stratton 4 cycle might be an excellent idea.
In junior high I took lots of them apart and figured out how they worked and how to make them run.
Old lawn mower engines can be had for $20 or $30 I would guess.
Good luck with the boys. It's a good project you have in mind.

The engine was only going to be a project. i am buying a Powerland 6.5hp with electric start being that the model Lime Limo i have came factory with electric start. i had taken the motor to a local kart shop,and the old man that has owned and run the place for years saw the W on the flywheel then claimed he knew it was a Westbend 580. i saw that he was wrong when i got home.

Apparently I don't get out enough. What the heck is a Lime Limo?
I'm thinking maybe it's something like a golf cart Hugh Hefner would hire to follow him around the compound to make sure he always had a fresh lime in his margarita.
(Either that or a motorized fertilizer spreader.)
Definitely not US (all metric hardware, Mikuni carb).
