put in a faster engine
nitrous and a bigger engine
you can us the frame of an electric dirt bike or a real dirt bike. you can get them cheap on craigslist with no motor an just put a lawn mower or go cart engine in it. just need a welder and some pipe.
Only if you make it from materials that float, but then it wouldn't be a go cart, but a float cart. It wouldn't be heavy enough to stay on the road as a go cart.
The Engine might rev a Little higher , which might make the go-cart go a Little faster - or blow the Engine up.
I have two of them in my garage right now. They are 5.5 hp engines. You need to put a clutch on the output shaft that will allow the engine to turn at idle, but as soom as you give it gas the clutch will disengage and it will turn a chain that is connected to a sprocket on the rear axle. I hope this helps you.Brad. but this is only the beginning. lawn mower engines have a vertical crankshaft, and a go-kart needs a horizontal. converting the two is not as easy as it seems. if you have a 4-stroke, you need to find some way of re-arranging the oil sump/oil pump, so that it works horizontally. not only that, but you have to reposition the carburettor so it is up the right way, if you can just turn it around you are lucky, but if your not, your going to have to drill and tap extra holes. if you do not do this, it will not work. if you have a 2-stroke, you don't have to worry about the oil, as it is in the fuel, but you still have to reposition the carburettor just go to http://gokartguru.com/go_kart_building_202.php actually, you can make your own go kart with a vertical engine, but you need to have the rear end of a garden tractor to do it because it already has the pulleys on the axle thanks, Jake EDIT: I just recently built a go cart out of a lawn mower. I used a vertical shaft engine and a external transmission from a riding lawnmower. Just slip a belt around the shaft on the engine to the pulley on the tranny and whala!
You check the engine. Its simple really all you have to do is pore oil on the engine. If it starts makeing noises when you start it its a bad go cart so reture it.
WikiAnswers is not the right place to ask for instructions to build a comprehensive project. Try checking Instructables.
We need more information, make & model of engine, pull start/electric start etc.
go to youtube
Put a d*** in it
