    Which engine should i use?

    that sounds like alot of work for my first go kart. I used the speed calculator on this website and it said i would only go 32 mph. I am going to use 12 teeth on the clutch, 54 on the axle, and a 11 or 13" rear tire diameter. is there a way to get the kart faster?

    Which engine should i use?

    Im probably going to spend somewhere around $200-300 for a new engine. i found a techumseh 6hp engine. it was labeled as a go kart engine. Its about 180 without shipping. think thats a good engine to start with? I have heard some bad things about techumseh, but it looks like a good deal.
