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 bent. theyre not. single A-arm suspentions do move around like …

I want to build a go kart. Basically, all I have is a 5.5 horsepower vertical shaft lawnmower engine. Where’s the best place to purchase all of the materials I’ll need and what do exactly will I need?

How much horsepower for a single seater go kart?
Author: cappetaApr 13
Im building a go kart from scratch and im wondering what kind of engine and how much horsepower it should be. I want it to be a speedy single seater that would be able to get throught a little bit of grass and gravel but nothing major. It would also be nice if it didnt cost me 500 bucks. Any recomendations on clutches, frames, engines, or anything else would be apperciated.
