As the title says, I'm new to go karts. I bought a red Murray last night for my son for a Christmas present. As a 35 year old kid, I think I'm more excited than he will be when he sees it. It runs and drives, but it does need a few things, mostly just TLC.

I know that Murray and Tecumseh are both no more, which makes finding parts interesting. What is the best source for parts? Specifically I need an aftermarket replacement seat for it.

Also, I noticed only one back wheel is actually a "drive" wheel, is it possible to change the rear axle and make both wheels powered? Mainly for traction. Or is this more trouble than it's worth.

What are any "upgrades" you have done to the Murray karts that you recommend?

Thank you and I'm sure I will have more questions later.
