There's no better feeling in the world than being behind the wheel of your own vehicle. For decades, children have been able to get that feeling at an early age with their own go-kart. As with any car, the right engine can make or break your driving experience. When building your go-kart, a lawn mower engine provides the most power for your kart.
Instructions
1. Find simple wooden go-kart plans from the Complete Kartbuilding Website. Construct a go-kart according to the plans and add a large pulley to the center of the rear axle.
2. Choose a horizontal lawn mower engine for the go-kart. Attach the lawn mower engine to the rear of the go-kart above the bushing/bearing assembly.
3. Add a small pulley to the horizontal engine. Attach the engine pulley to the go-kart's rear wheel pulley using a drive belt.
4. Connect bicycle brakes to the go-kart according to the directions in the separate brake plans on the Complete Kartbuilding Website.
