I trying to build a go kart from scratch and i know that i need so parts to build it with...I know the hardest part is find the ENGINE. This is a new hobby for me to start and i want t o accomplish this by the end of summer. I just started planning on my blueprint to build it.
If anyone knows where i can get a riding lawn mower or golf kart engine for cheap, low price or find one in New York Junk Yard/Salvage.
Another thing can I turn a "motor scooter" into a go kart engine. I know that motor scooters don't go that fast but if i can use it as a temporary engine it can help. go to ebay and search for the user small-engine-deals and look at a side shaft engine. take care to make sure the shaft size of the motor you choose will work with a go kart clutch.
I purchased a new 10hp tecumseh HM100 a few years ago from them for $175. killer deal! |
