here are some pictures of my junior go kart (about 3 inches smaller than a regular kart and little bit tighter area to work with) which i attached a 120 cc victa lawnmower to.
The racing kart carbi was attached using a manifold that i had to make from scratch, the engine ran the wrong way for the setup so i had to cut some of the frame out to fit everything (and added more support later on) and the back axle was moved around to fit the chain in its new position.
As you can see in some of the photos i had to make a grill to cover the exhaust manifold because everyone kept burning themselves while they were getting out.
The frame was made out of steel which i had to make to fit the sleepers the engine is sitting on and bolt to the crank case.
I used a heavy duty centrifugal clutch so it wouldn't stall and a 72 tooth sprocket on the axle.
Have a look at the pictures and post if u need me to explain anything any further.
Thanks Brendan.
