How do you use a vertical engine for a go-cart?
My friend and I want to build a go cart and we have a frame and a 14hp riding lawnmower engine. We don't know how to make this work. We don't want to spend very much money but we want it to be a pretty freakin awesome go-cart. If anyone knows how to complete our project please leave an answer or e-mail me. Thanks alot!
i would use the rear drive axle from the mower you got it from, and usually their are the two pulleys that the mower used from the drive, the one on the engine side is usually a smaller one and the axle side is a bigger one. switch those two around, or if that is too low of a ratio, i.e. the motor doesnt have enough power to drive it, get two pulleys of the same size, preferably using the size of the bigger pulley. plus that way, it shouldnt matter though cause you would have the gear selector from the mower, it should work in the lower gears.
