Looking to purchase a used full sized Kart with a Briggs motor to be used in first timer junior,and also another one for cadet. Any tips to what I should be mindful of when going to look at karts ?
How do I tell if motor is sealed? I am aware of the carb types,wheel size,and total width if axle,does axle diameter come into play ?
I don't mind having to put some into it but don't want to end up buying something and needing to replace most of it.

Axle diameter should not matter unless you are wanting to convert it to run as a two stroke at some point in time. A sealed motor will have either an orange RFID tag or a silver holographic tag on both the front and rear of the motor where the case halves meet. One of the case bolts on both the front and rear will be longer than the rest and have the seal wired through it. If there is still confusion go under the downloads section of the website and look at the Briggs and Stratton Rule book in the seals section, it shows pictures of both to my recollection.

Great thank you !
