got a couple of pictures of it over the weekend and she is looking LOADS better just cant wait to be driving her around =]

This go kart/Buggy was made by my dad, my uncle, and myself. it started life as a kawasaki GPX 250 and it didn’t run when we got it. we bought the bike for 0 and the next few weekends were cleaning the carby idle and main jets and general maintenance of the motor like new spark plugs and a heap of other stuff. now she runs like new. we then took it all apart and left the motor and electrics sitting there for a couple of months while we built the frame and got all of that done and when we put it back together in the go kart it didn’t run. we did all the same things and got it to run again idling very low and it very rarely stalls. all up it cost between 1500 and 2000 to make it but it was worth all the trouble it gave us.

i have done research and looked up many ways to build this go cart but now i need to know whats the best engine to use the hp nd everything where to get the parts nd n-e other things to make this project successful also i decided to go "green" with the whole project for example buying a diesel engine then converting it so it can run on bio-fuel or mcdonald oil to help the earth a bit while still having a good time. any help i would gladly appreciate it

Ripping up the trail and sand pit in my 250 buggy. I get air off a few jumps! Watch for the tie-rod failure at the end of the video.

So i am trying to build a go cart but am not sure what to use for the engine. i have a lawn mower and a chain saw, and i might have some other machinery that have engines. any ideas? i have maybe 200 bucks to throw around for this project
ps. i dont know much about engines and all
