Need help

[shady113]

So I recently got an older midget outlaw kart for free. It's just the frame. I was only wanting the axle out of it for my little 212 predator ghost. But this axle looks just a tad bigger than what is needed. Well the next day I found a 600cc suzuki for $300. Then lightbulb I would like to put this engine In the little kart. So my question. How can I go about doing it? I've looked online for answers and pictures. But cannot find anything. How do I put this motor on it. This kart is different than what I see online

We would call this a "Project". It will not require input from strangers on an internet forum as much as is will require a great deal of creativity, effort, time and money from you. You start with measuring, everything. Write it all down, sketch it, plan it. You'll need to know how to weld. If you don't, either learn or move on to a different project. That's my advice from 30,000 feet. I am tall.

Yup, quite a project
...but, should "rip" around pretty good when done

Many go karts with motorcycle engines are referred to as "shifter karts"
...'cause they have multiple gears
...& have a shift lever, to shift between them gears

* Maybe post some more pics of the engine "bay"
...& the rear axle area

it's going to be rather complicated. And from the way that you phrase your questions, I'd say that it's beyond your mechanical skill set. Not trying to be a bummer, just trying to give you the realistic truth.

Go for it. You’ll learn a lot in the process and collect some cool tools. When others say it is too difficult, I say “Shoot the Moon!”

Yeah this is my first project, and I learn fairly quick. So... there is no mounts to buy? I need to measure and build my mounts myself? I was just trying to take an easy way out lol. I'm definitely gonna attempt it tho. Would I be better off putting the motor on something else? This frame I have has no place to put the motor. But I'll for sure try. I don't have much money tied up in it yet. Yall think it'll take alot?
