Building a go-kart using an old lawnmower engine isn’t nearly as easy of a job as it might sound. That’s because karts and mowers are built differently. In order to use a mower engine, you will need to make some adaptations. Once you’ve done so, however, you can have a go-kart for a relatively small amount of money.
Lawnmower engines are designed with vertical shafts. To convert them for go-kart use, you can’t just tip them onto their sides, because the oil in them wouldn’t be able to circulate in order to lubricate the engine properly. You will need a gearbox that will convert the motor you have to one that will operate a go-kart. As you can see, this is going to take some expertise, and a novice mechanic probably isn’t going to be able to handle the job unassisted.
Here is one method of converting a lawn mower engine into one that will work on a go-kart. First of all, you need to put a gear on the bottom of the engine which will turn gear that turns the axle. If you’re like me, you wouldn’t have a clue how to do this and would want to hire it done; however, with a few mechanical skills or a friend who knows about engines, you should be fine with this step. What you’re needing is bevel gears with a disengage lever to separate them. You will also need brakes that will activate whenever you pull the disengage lever. Get rid of the choke. Instead you’re going to need a gas pedal which can be installed on the floor of the kart near where your feet will be.
If you decide to look online for information regarding converting a mower to a go-kart, you’re going to find a lot of conflicting information. What one person will tell you to do contradicts the advice you get from someone else. One website advocates the method described above while others swear that it will never work. Therefore, unless you have basic mechanical skills and know-how, or you like to mess around and see what you can come up with, you’ll probably be better off getting professional help or buying a ready-built go-kart.
