Hello from Switzerland

[u500771]

My name is Cyril and I live in Switzerland. At the start of 2023 me and my friend Gianni finally decided to start building a go kart (we fantasized the whole Covid-19 lockdown about it). We went on Ricardo (a website similar to ebay) and looked for an engine. We settled on a MAG 2055, a large flathead twin with about 12hp. What type of chassis would you suggest that is easy and relatively cheap to build? We are planning to put OTK rims on it, because our friend has a lot of tires for those that he can’t use anymore in professional kart sport.

Welcome! Looks like an interesting engine. I’m in the USA, Indiana to be precise.

It’s Basically like two old briggs&stratton engines mounted together.

What kind of terrain will this be used on? Off road?
