[Kartbuilding] Help Needed.

[Stephen Burke]

Hi Sandesh,

The 110cc automatic scooter engine should be ok. Any motorbike engine 
should be fine.

The first step is the chassis. Once you have a good strong chassis, 
everything else just connects ontop.
Take a read through the www.kartbuilding.net website. The following 
document has some very good information on chassis for karts:
http://kartbuilding.net/The_NatSKA_Guide_to_Karts_and_Karting/Pages-1-10-11-12-13-Chassis-Design.pdf

Take it one step at a time and go from there. I'd start with the chassis 
first. There is very useful information on making the chassis at: 
http://www.kartbuilding.net/Freeplans/chassis.htm  It mentions drawing out 
the chassis outline using chalk on the ground to make sure the size is 
correct.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to send an email.

Best of luck,
-steve
