Any go kart guys here?

[MCNorris]

I put my helicopter on CL last night and some guy offered me a Murray 6hp go kart for it, now I have never had a go kart, he said it's adult size but I have no idea how much 6hp is. I am 6'3 and 240 is this gonna get me around quickly? Most likely I'll ride it a few times and sell it like I do with everything but I want to know some stuff about it.

Thanks!

I also have 2 pics of it if it will help anybody.

you have to sign in for links, the go kart would get you around, quickly? prob. not. i had one when i was a lot younger with the governor removed. it would do prob. 40-50 mph top end "ON THE STREET" but i think i also changed the sprockets out. if it was geared way down it would get you around, but prob. not quickly. go karts are finicky, you can have them geared low and they will have power to move around in tall grass etc. or geared high and they won't budge in grass it's kinda hard to get them rite in the middle, at least in my opinion. i'm into atv's i just built a nice banshee.

6Hp will get you around but quickly? No. Id say the top speed of those things is 30-40mph.

imo 30-40 in a cheap little go cart is quick. Your ass is right there on the ground! Thats pretty good for not spending a couple grand.

30-40 is as fast as I want to go lol, it seems alot faster when your that close to the ground, I just didn't want to get it and have it go like 10. I may just go ahead and trade then, not like my heli needs anymore dust lol!

ya id say its a decent trade if the go kart is in good cond. dont quote me on the mph lol. might be less.

well 6hp, I'm 13 and I've rode one and i do like 35 and I'm noly like 145-150 but you being more cause ur older you might be able to break 20-25 on a good day.. MAYBE LESS MAYBE MORE IDK!!

From the pics it looks to be in great condition, it's a murray explorer, I'll test drive it and see what it's got, if it can spin me around on gravel I'll take it.
