put in a faster engine
well it depends my sons thirteen and i put a 300cc engine in his go-kart and it goes like stink!
Put a d*** in it
Anyway you want to. ;)
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.

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!
If the person was really lite as was the rest of the go cart, then yes, if mot then one would be safer getting a larger engine such as that on a lawnmower
Ebay
nitrous and a bigger engine
Put a car battery in it
