I want to make a home made go cart out of a lawnmower engine.How would i go about it with out a welding torch?

Question

I am really wondering how to attach the engine from a lawnmower.I would love a diagram of how to build the accelerator pedal and brakes..If i have to weld then i will..but im not really concered with the body.I am more concerned how to do the engine work..like gears,brakes,etc. with stuff i could find in the hardware store.

Answer 1

Everywhere that you would like to use a weld, you'll have to fabricate brackets for bolts.

Answer 2

I have done this when I was a teen, You have to know some welding. The only other way is to get a Go-cart frame. The main benefit to having a (real) frame is the front axial steering kingpins in place. I was never satisfied with mine the way the toe in would be on turning. Steering arms and push pad type brakes are easy enough to construct. Take a look at store bought Go-cart and get an idea on that part.
The problem with lawn mower engines is their out put shaft is at the bottom. This makes hooking it to the axial a bit tricky, you can use a secondary shaft but it is a pain. A twisted belt can work if the distance is long enough to allow the belt to twist. Look for a side output engine. Makes a lot easier time of things. Good luck, it really was a lot of fun

Answer 4

Two words....."Duct Tape"....just kidding.
You can mount the motor to the chassis by drilling corresponding holes and bolting it in. I would plate the drilled areas prior to mounting the motor as drilling the holes will compromise the integrity of the frame.

Answer 5

I should think again very seriously.
