 go kart! I am planning on building a go kart with some buddies of mine. It will be for offroading purposes instead of my truck  .I plan to use a 6.5hp horizontal shaft engine, most likey from a snow blower. Only problem is, is that I dont know how to weld. Anyone know of any place I can learn or is it pretty self explanitory?

| Re: go kart! Thanks for the posotive attitude guys! It should be interesting to see how everything comes together. I went on craigslist and founf a guy willing to trade a snowblower for a bunch of scrap metal. I will have to see how much metal I need to get to pay for the snow blower, but I am pretty sure I already have enough.

| Re: go kart! my cousin had a go kart years ago...we tied one of my old school METAL saucers too it and rode around on icy streets...kinda sad though it got so hot underneath that it actually burnt a hole in the saucer and my pants....talk about a pain in the butt. |

Lets see...a properly geared 7hp engine can reach speeds of around 50mph.......imagine a 10hp! PLUS all that torque!.....a wopping 15 ft lbs. lol (for those car enthusiests(SP?))
