What Kart is this?

Post by donald gordner » Sun Jun 21, 2009 9:16 am

I purchased this from Craigs List. I have a 1957 AlleyCat so I thought I needed another vintage Kart. However, it is in good condition to restore but I do not know what it is.

It's not just a Bronco, but a white Bronco. Does it have any low speed chases in it's past?

I have seen it somewhere but I can't find it right now.

Anyone know what issue the Neal kart test is in?

You probably already found this out by now, but the Broncco kart was made by Fantic in Italy. I think that they tried to clone the Rupp Dart. As described at the links below, Fantic primarily made small motorcycles. Strange but true: Tecumseh must've had some sort of joint venture or something, but at least some of these came with 2.5 hp Tecumseh-clone engines that were also made in Italy by Aspera. They look just like Tecumseh H25 engines (made by the millions for Sears reel mowers), except the carbs were made by DelOrto and other small differences.
