I know very little about go-karts, but someone has to start this off, so is this kart American?

No, you're on the wrong path
Made by an Italian individual, rather than a company?

Made by a company, but one not generally known for manufacturing karts.
Was this Company better known for producing other forms of transportation, such as scooters, for example?

I'm not sure if I'm on the right path now with two-wheeler producers, but I'll continue with MV Augusta.

Not MV Augusta, but correct path
OK, thanks for the clarification. So, Ducati?
Aprilia ?
Piaggio?
Your responses aren't giving much of a clue, so was the kart made by an Italian manufacturer of motorcycles, such as Laverda, for example?

Sorry about that. I thought I had led you onto the correct path. Yes, an Italian motorcycle manufacturer.
No need to apologise, it's just that the solution/direction wasn't very clear. Anyway, if it's not Laverda from my last post, could it be by Gilera?
Not Laverda or Gilera.
Maico?
Garelli?

Garelli?
No, but you're definitely on the right track now
Beta?
(P.S. GTE, I guess it was about 4am your time in California for your last response. Do you never sleep?! :D)

No to both :)
Malaguti?
Am I getting hotter or colder with Benelli?

Benelli produced similar bikes during the same era, but then so did Garelli, Malaguti and others. To be honest, you don't even have to run each manufacturer by me. When I plug the manufacturer's name and the word "kart" into a Google search and scroll down, I find two different examples of the puzzle image before reaching the 'Show more results' button.

And when I scroll down slowly and actually pay attention to the results (:)), I find third image of this kart, but from a different angle.
Your digital search skills are clearly much more advanced than mine as I am something of a luddite that uses the internet as an evil necessity, so your advice is appreciated, but not of great assistance if I don't know the first part of the answer; the manufacturer ;).
So, is it the Silvercar kart, made by Motori Garelli?

I shared that information so that you and others here could run Google searches for the relevant terms (e.g., "Motori Garelli" and "kart"), and then confidently eliminate manufacturers whenever the results failed to yield the puzzle image. This allows for testing various possibilities in rapid succession instead of posting queries one at a time and waiting (hours?) in between each query for my response. But your methods seem to be working just fine, so no worries. :)
Not Motori Garelli, by the way.
Open to all
Guazzoni Kart
Rumi?
