were to mount the motor

[dskart]

I am going to build a go Kart and install ds650 motor but not sure were to mount the motor, beside me or behind me ?
And dose any one have any prints for a kart ? Cant wait to start!!

Behind, centered.

Depends on the kart and motor. Generally behind centred is better as Kenny has said. If it's an air cooled motor you may have a problem with air flow with the engine behind you, so you should have air ducts OR the engine on the side.
Remember, if you put the engine on the side then you should put the fuel tank and battery on the other side to balance it out.

Only if its free air.

Yeah, sorry. I was thinking of a motorbike engine.
