Default New toy

So last night I scored something I've always wanted since I was a little kid, one of my friends gave me a go kart. He said it ran but the throttle was all or nothing so I picked it up and after about 10 minutes of tinkering I had the problem sorted out and was running it up and down the road, my son who will be 5 soon could hardly contain himself when I brought it home and he loved it even more once I took him for a ride. It's got a 6.5hp tecumseh engine so it scoots pretty good even with me on it, it still needs a little TLC but overall it's in good shape and everything works. I just need to recover the seat in vinyl so it doesn't get wet sitting outside and I need to build a rollbar to keep my boy safe, hopefully my wifes uncle can bend some pipe for me so it looks professional and not like some idiot did it. I will post a pic of the new buggy when I get home.
