Using a Tuk Tuk engine (305hp) for an Off road Kart?

[sajad]

Tuk tuk engines in my city are common and available: can it be iused to an off road go kart?

It would require lots of fab work, and I can't recommend it, most off road go karts have 13-25 hp. With a tuk tuk engine you would get yourself killed. The most powerful side-by-side (read: Huge, super strong off road kart) has 200 or so hp, so 305 is a bit much. I don't mean to be rude, I just don't want you to get hurt. I never knew tuk tuks have that much hp. must be fast lil buggers.

I believe he means 305 CC.

Lost in translation it seems.

@sajad, sorry about the confusion. The Tuk-Tuk motor could definitely work! Some custom work will have to be done, it probably won't be as "bolt on" as an industrial engine, but cheaper is always better. I'd say go for it.

Yes you should be able to adapt that engine to a Gokart fairly easily depending on what’s available parts wise to you in your country.

the chinese have flooded all walks of life with their machines unfortunately hard to source unless imported from u.s.a or europe....

sajad. Actually most of the go kart stuff we get in the U S A comes from China.
Might not be marketed in your country like it is here.
