Re: gocart building
I built a minibike. I tried making my on frame but it it hard to bend the tubing in the proper places and at the proper angles so the two framesides were a little off and I never was able to get the chain aligned. So, I bought a frame for $100. I used an old 2hp Briggs & Stratton horizontal shaft engine off an old rotary lawnmower. Edgers also commonly have this type of engine. It is a little slow to accelerate (with a big guy like me on it), but it'll get up to about 30mph.
Ebay is a good source for parts. A couple more places: http://www.gokartsupply.com http://www.gokartgalaxy.com
