My build is heavy and so am I would they spin my tires ?

Depends on the tires and the driving surface. Small slicks on wet grass, yes. 18" knobbies on asphalt, not a chance.

20 hp probably wouldn't spin the tires with 18" wheels on asphalt if your kart is that heavy.

Yea I was thinking on a 200/250cc lifan if that's a good brand. Or even a Honda 3 wheeler engine ?

Is that your only criterion?

What better incentive to lose weight than go karts. Lighter you = lighter kart = faster kart = potential for wheel spin.

You're not gonna be just smoking and smoking your tires on a go kart unless you give it some really craptacular gearing...

Big difference between a Honda 3 wheeler engine like the ATC200 and a Honda GX200 and it's clones. Of those choices the 3 wheeler engine would more than likely allow you to do a burn out and would for sure have the guts to move you and the kart around.

So no mods to the engine. Just loose weight. That's the trick to spinning the wheels. Guess i should get on a diet! popcorn is low fat right

Even an ATV engine; multiple gears = more fun...
