The Go Kart Guru built this Gas Engined Wood Go Kart and it totally rips around. Easy on the budget with plenty of laughs. Access the two books on the Wood Go Kart. The first book is on the gravity version, the second book is on upgrading the gravity cart to have an engine. Again all this for 50 bucks. (Engine free of course)

i want a project for while i am bored and a go kart seems like agood project the only problem is for me finding the plans to build one and i don’t want to pay so does anyone know of plans online please ? thank you also if you know where i can get the GrandDaddy Go Kart Plans for free then that would be perfect.

I live in Sacramento, California and I just built a go-kart for my school project and I need to test drive it to make sure it works. I don’t want to race it, just take it for a joy ride.
Any Ideas?

we finally finnished, and it turned out excellent. very fast! This project was done for a graduating grade at my high school. the grade on it was a 98% and i got a 95 on my speech (which was 12 minutes long.) this was the video i showed during my presentation. this project took a total of 2 to 3 months of work, and i started with ordering a set of go-kart plance from Don’s DIY Den (diyden.net.) The go-kart was origionally designed for a 5 horsepower motor, but i put in a monster 18 horsepower twin cylinder motor. it wasnt the BEST idea because the ngine is on the side and it is kind of off weight. other than that and the crappy breaks, there are no real problems with it. The frame used mostly .095″ one inch square tubing, and for the braces and brackets, i used 1/4″ sheet metal. All of the parts in which i did not build i obtained from northern tool (northerntool.com.) some parts like the front wheels and steering wheel, i got from friends or yard sales. This thing started up the first pull and yes, i know the mixure is off, but once we got this thing working, it topped out at about 50 MPH, andhad real nice handling. not that great of a turning radious, but good handling. the clutch was actually a belt clutch and i welded on a sprocket, and it worked perfectly. it is a single speed which is similar to second gear. im DYING for a two pully centrifugal clutch system so i can get all my horsepowers out. i have done substantial work since this video. the front shocks DO look …

I’m going to build a go kart w/ a 6.5 hp 4 stroke engine, I want to use a centrifugal clutch becuase I’ve heard it’s easiest. Does the number of teeth on the sprokets have any thing to do w/? Don’t need a lot of speed but I wan’t to be able to climb hills. Would a torque converter be a good idea?

Around 800-900m long?

just the circuit..can anyone venture a sensible guess?
nothing fancy.

no flood lights or anything just a circuit
