I start holidays in a few days and was going to pull apart and check crankshaft seals as well to eliminate as much as possible

Do I need to pull the whole engine out of the kart to get at the crank shaft seals?

Does anyone know the best place to buy parts for this thing? I took the engine out and checked the piston, looks pretty good, no wear marks... but the seals were non existant on the head gasket and bottom of master cylinder...

Your cart is a Marathon with a 2 PG 2 stroke engine.

You should get 2 of these. http://www.golfcartking.com/EZGO-Cra...des-p/3991.htm

And one of these. http://www.golfcartking.com/EZGO-Gasket-Set-p/4764.htm

How would I tell if the crank shaft seal was no good? It looks ok to me... As for the over seals, they were non-existant... could that be the problem and not the crankshaft seal?

Your engine is 32 years old. It's out of the cart, and taken apart. You already know that the other gaskets are junk.
Why would you even think about putting it all back together without changing those seals?

Crankshaft seals are the biggest culprit when it comes to these engines not running.

I can't seem to actually get it apart... the housing around the crank shaft that is...
