2002 Kartmini kart, 2004 Rotax Jr. motor - $2000 FIRM - MD

Moving out in a week, lost my job, and starting college means I'm in a sizable financial hole right now. Racing is no longer part of my equation unfortunately. I need my kart gone as its about all I have to sell off thats worth anything.

Its a 2002 Kartmini chassis with a 2004 Rotax Jr. TAG (has on-board starter and battery) motor, rated for 21hp. Motor is sealed, has a valid passport, and only has 13.5 hours on it. Comes with: several rear sprockets all of the rotax legal jets 2 sets of wheels with the Rotax spec Bridgestones and a tire bag a spare set of MG Greens for autocrossing (unmounted) Deepseat mounted, Tillet XL seat unpadded as a spare, mounting hardware new chain, never installed, and 219 chain breaker tire bead breaker Rotax charger 4 or 5 spare plugs Kart stand

And probably more I'm forgetting.

I'm also throwing in my Size 60 Sparco kart suit, simpson neck brace, sparco kart shoes (Euro 60?, US size 11), a large sparco rib protector and a second medium sized rib protector (not sparco).

Can add my sparco gloves and Bell SportIII helmet for an extra $200.

Email for more pictures and a more complete parts list. :(

Bummer its a Jr. good luck on the sale, the engines can last a long time.

When its time for a rebuild, you have the shop convert it to a Sr. cylinder and add the powervalve for a few extra bucks. The beauty of the Rotax package is all of their engines have the same base.

Curious, how tall are you and about what do you weigh?

5'10", about 215#'s. The current DeepSeat is a medium I think and is a TIGHT fit for me. The brandy-new XL Tillet T8 seat that also comes with it is a lot roomier, just add mounting holes and use the included bolts. ;)

Oh yeah, convince me that you might want it, and I'll bring it out to one of the MD kart tracks or a WDC SCCA autocross so you can test drive it (and then you'll really want it).

Unfortantly that would out weigh the costs of a sealed Sr. I would make you a offer but I don't want to low ball you.

How so? A new senior motor package is around $3500. A rebuild and conversion is about $1700.

Or hell, leave it a Jr. motor and autocross it while you get your feet wet. You'll still likely get FTD in your local region unless you have a bunch of shifter's or AM cars, and when its time for a top-end in another 11.5 hours (thats at least a full year of autocrossing, if not two) get it converted then. Also, I believe the Jr. motor is still TAG-legal, getting you on track and learning and away from the carnage at the front.

You're still welcome to drive it while I have it, if you can make the trip east.

Its still here... don't make me find room for it in the living room, help make it go away!

Wish I could help you skierd, but I just bought ANOTHER Miata. We miss you over at CAR.

Waiting for another project to sell before I buy another.

I measured the sliding door and I can get the kart into my living room, please don't make me do it!

I am without reliable internet at the moment, if anyone has any questions feel free to call me at (four four three) eight four eight - eight three two two.

Still here, still runs great, still would like to sell it. Have internet again.

Maybe, email me and lets talk about it.

Ok, here's a more complete parts list for everyone that is or might be interested. The kart will come with:

• 3 sets of tires (2 sets Rotax-spec Bridgestones, same compound as YHC's, that are mounted one one set of MG Greens that are unmounted). All tire sets are 2 front 4.5x10x5 and 2 rear 7.1x11x5. Rear wheels are beadlock.
• Bag for one set of wheels/tires
• A complete set of jets (155, 158, 160, 162, 165, 168, 170, 172, 175, 178, and 180, the 162 jet is currently installed)
• 4 NGK BR10EG plugs, +1 installed on motor
• 1 Denso Iridium IW27 plug
• spare nuts, washers for wheel bolts
• catch can for carb (not installed)
• several feet of fuel line
• a set of rear gears (68T, 70T, 74T x2, 75T x2, 76T x2, 78T x2, 80T, 83T, 85T, one of the 76T gears is currently installed)
• New spare 114L DID 219 Chain, the heavy duty one
• 219 pitch Chain braker
• Misc. fluids and lubes (Motorex Chain lube and oil, redline premix oil)
• Ratio Rite cup for mixing fuel
• Brand new, never mounted, Tillet T8 unpadded seat (XL)
• Carbon Fiber Deepseat thats currently installed (Medium I think)
• Rotax battery charger thats needs repaired, and a TaG trickle charger from Comet Kart Sales thats basically new
• Spare driver fairing
• MyChron3 data system

I started the kart up this afternoon after doing the above inventory and literally brushing off the cobwebs. It cranked and started easily, quickly settled into a good idle, and warmed up as it should. I did not test drive it as I found the brakes are dragging, the springs look like they need to be lubed and/or replaced. The axle spins freely. When I last drove it the clutch engaged right around 3500-4000rpm if memory serves.

Hope this helps get people off the fence!

One last chance...

I have offers on my kart so if your not interested in doing the trade I am going to sell it and move on just email me and let me know. As soon as possible.

I'm thinking another kart really isn't what I need right now. Thanks though, good luck.

By request here are a bunch more pics, detailing the underside of the chassis, the motor itself, and the mentioned frame damage.

Bump for a new, lower price.

$1750. :(

Still here, still needs to go.
