Still have this available?  By left side drive, do you mean output from the rear of the kart?  I have a Dart K series that originally came with 2 West Bend 580's, but I think the clutches should face each other towards the center of the kart. I don't have either side, so doesn't really matter, still interested, but left side engines are hard to find.

You can see from the recoil starter that it is a left wheel engine. TJ

Smitty.If you had a dead axle kart yes this engine would drive the left rear tire. On a live axle kart you could put it on the right with the sprocket inboard and a right drive engine on the left with that sprocket inboard also, that way your clutches would be facing each other. Guess that would be your choise,most guys run the sprockets outside the frame rail. To answer your original question,I believe Steve sold that engine on Ebay a cpl weeks back,but I'm sure he has plenty more.

Hi Steve-  Didn't catch the "use your real name thing" until it was too late... 

I'm interested in your matched left/right pair, and any chance you have a low mounted Rupp fuel tank? My kart uses the one that spans the frame rails behind the seat.  Send PM with details/ price.  Thanks,

Brian
