Use a chain saw quick and easy to put on that Frame won't hold much more than that
Hey DarTT that is a pedal car. My neighbors son had one. You put any engine on there and it asking to come apart on ya.

Agreed. It's just missing the pedal setup.
When I was a kid, I put a Suzuki GS750 4-Cylinder Motorcycle engine on a Go-Kart
rayer: :burnout: That thing was pure insanity

Life is an experiment
Mount a quality battery pack skill saw to it
and pick a gear for the saw in place of the blade.

or you could use a weed wacker engine, that I have seen done before too, they have quite a bit of power for there size and they should have a centrifical clutch already on too.

And 412, Id have to get a socket somehow and a chain but that'd be cool. Mount it on the back 8)

See my above response for a crazy go-kart. Pick up a small Go-Kart (I highly recommend a completely caged version, trust me on this). And grab an older Large CC motorcycle out of whatever local classifieds papers you may have in your area.
I happened to have a GS750 4-Cylinder motorcycle laying around, so that's what I put on my go-kart. Set it up with a Floor Shifter, Single Seater, and Disc Brakes. Had that little SOB up to 75+mph in the forest
rayer: And in a Go-Kart, 75mph feels like 975mph when you're inches from the ground and trees are whizzing by you.That wasn't enough. I also took a small Suzuki 125 Quadrunner (after the 125 and the 185 replacement engine both dropped valves) and put a modified Honda 250 SX engine on it. The critter would burn the tires in a 3rd gear launch, 1st and 2nd are scary. It'll pull the front wheels until about 3rd gear.
That wasn't enough either. I took an even smaller Honda 125 ATV and shoe-horned a CB350 2-Cylinder Engine in the frame.

I agree on the weedeater engine. I had a friend in high school who was one year ahead of me and for his senior project he put a weedeater motor on a bycycle and it worked! My senior year, me and my buddy were asked to judge the carshow for the bandboosters.
We picked his bike for the trophy over two beautiful Honda motorcycles. We weren't biased. We justified, you can go buy a Honda motorcycle, but you have to have skill and enginuity to create what he did.

Hmm. What kind of sprocket did he use? Im really interested in doing this for chuckles.. Id have to figure out a braking system as well.

He didn't use one I don't think, I believe he had a rubber roller in direct contact with the back wheel. Let me see if he has pics of it on FaceBook.

He doesn't have any pics, I messaged him to see if he has any he hasn't posted.

Ah. I've seen a system similar to that. I was thinking of a chain drive so I can use the rear end that its got. May have to spring for a 7 1/4 eventually lol

Check that link out. Someone took a mini bike engine and mounted it on pretty much the same cart

I found an engine I think. Seems to be a good deal and it might be worth messing with. I need to study chain drives more to research the best drive method.

Probably will tear this little frame into a million tiny pieces. If so, least I had fun doing it and can use this engine for something else later.
