How do i build a go-cart out of spare parts and a lawnmower engine

Aug 02, 2008 by that_be_juan | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I don't have hardly any money I am trying to build a go-cart out of a Craftsman lawnmower engine and some spare parts anybody have any ideas

I've built my own when I was about 17, all from scraps, it helped alot having a Father who was an Auto mechanic...lol. Anyway's dont use the lawnmower engine, it will make life a living hell if your trying to attempt to convert a horizontal shaft to vertical.
