Hi everyone, let me first start by saying that I know very very little about go carts and I just bought a go cart frame/wheels/steering but it has no engine. I was wondering if I can ask you guys what is a good/reliable/fast engine that I can buy. I think I need a clutch too? I have no idea if the clutch and gearing has to be mated to my exiting final drive gearing? If I have to post this question in another forum then let me know.

Hi!
You will need to buy a centrifugal clutch that fits the engine of your choosing. If your unsure of how big of an engine would be best, post a few pics of what you have, so we give you an idea of what you might be after!

google 6.5 HP Clone engine. It is very standard and will give you a lot of power. You will also need a 3/4 inch bore diameter clutch, but make sure it is the same chain pitch as the sprocket. Welcome to the forum!
Engine question
Are these engines reliable? I was thinking about investing the the Briggs 206?? I do not know much about it but I think it can be had for about $450??? Is there a place that you guys can recommend for buying/ordering a engine like this? Is there a better clone engine to pick from? This looks like a cool board and I can not wait to get this thing running.

I think i can speak for almost everyone on this forum that clones are very reliable. They are cheap too and can buy a lot of performance parts for this engine. I think about 90% of the people here have bought or used a clone in the past including me.
