Default Tomberlin 150 question

a few days ago i purchased this kart and the only thing i no is its a 150 and in center of steering wheel it says, Tomberlin and has ph.#.My question is,how can i tell which model i have?i'f possible i'll try uploading a pic. for some reason i'm thinking its a 2005 but i'm not even sure of that,i got it from a neighbor who has had it stored inside several years,he rode it every now and then but had it so long he doesn't remember anything helpful.Can anyone tell me what i have,model and year,is it a decent kart to own and any info on making it faster,it does ok,would like a lot more take off power,once it gets rolling,it will spin rear tires till you let off the gas.

the guy i bought it from thinks its a Tomberlin but i looked all over the web looking for one that it looks like,haven't found anything out.I new if it was a Tomberlin it had to be a few years old because it looks nothing like the Tomberlins i've seen.I like its build better than tomberlin so far. it has forward and reverse also

you have to remember that a lot of these were built out of the same factories with minor variations made in the tubing structure to make them look a little different so they could be sold under another brand name. It does look like a dead ringer for an HH--as are several other brands, but it may be an earlier model Tomberlin than dunebuggyrider's as well. Do a search here using Tomberlin and select "New member introductions" and also try the mini buggy forum only as well. You may find pictures from other members that have the same one.
