rupp go kart (questions about rupp and good kart buying advise)

[ted johnson]

ok now we are getting somewhere.
i'm assuming you are a newbe but please correct me if i'm wrong.
 are you looking for a rupp specifically
 or a dual engined kart 
or just wanting to get started in vintage.

do you want a ready to run kart
 one just needing light restoration
or a full on project you wanna do everything.

i'll give my standard advise to newbes as it was told to me. 
buying a damaged frame project may seem cheaper at first glance.
 but if you go that route you'll soon discover all the smalls that are missing add up to significant investment both in time searching and money.

a more effective restoration or runner route is to buy a finished kart and change it to your taste or style.
or at least buy a kart that hasn't been molested or parted out.
the more complete a chassis you buy the less hassle you'll face when building it.

Earl, are you an experienced karter? If you are not, then even a single 101 will be a handful, and two will be downright dangerous. If you're new to the sport, a single Mac 91 will give a heck of a ride, be MUCH easier to maintain and far less costly. Ted
