[Kartbuilding] Wooden go kart

[Stephen Burke]

Hi Marvin,

Thanks for the photo. If you have any more photos, it would be great if 
you could email them on. I can then add them to the kartbuilding gallery 
at: http://kartbuilding.net/gallery/v/OtherPeoplesKarts/
so other people and get ideas.

I had someone recently enquiring about the drive connection on this wooden 
go-kart. See: http://lists.kartbuilding.net/2010-July/000880.html
It might give you some extra information.

I had a 3.5HP briggs and stratton lawnmower engine on the wooden go-kart I 
made. I got 25mph with it. That was quite fast for the wooden kart with 
the front steering setup.

If you have any questions, just drop us an email.

Best of luck,
-steve

Hi Marvin,

Thanks for your email. I'm interested to hear you are building one of the
karts on kartbuilding.net Which kart are you building?

A 4.0hp engine should get a light kart up to 30 mph.
Again, you might be able to go faster and get more acceleration using a
gearbox, however this is a very complicated setup.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Best of luck,
-steve
