So there she is, Pretty much all put together. Yeah yeah. the head's not on there. But it will be soon enough. Fuel tank all cleaned out. carb all put together. I forgot to document how all the linkages were hooked up before I took it all apart but we figured it out. 
Oh Look at that blurry terrible picture of the Hot gasoline burning goodness. all that and it RUNS! YAY. too late for a test drive when I took that picture. But it needed throttle control at this point anyway. How do you speed up if you cant control the throttle ;-) And you see that right there. I told you the head'd be bolted down soon enough :D
Alright. Check that bitch out. All put together after a test spin around the block. It goes pretty good. and I may just leave those bars on the front. they make for a pretty good handle for turning this thing around and junk. just hit em with some black. There are some final adjustments. We need to finish the paint details, and I need to get some locktite on a few screws. The cover for the fuel pump diaphragm screws back out a little and cause a leak spraying on the muffler. That is not a good thing. But an easy fix. The whole rear axle re-config is going to be quite a bit of a project. But, I will have more control of the gear ratio and speed of the cart doing proper math with known values :D besides that drive belt is not in the greatest shape. All the parts for the new setup look like they are pushing around $160 or so. not too bad. but it can wait. Front rear and side view go kart porn for ya'll.
Cheers.
