Default Hi from Florida

How's it going everyone,New to the site and just saying hi. I just went out and got a manco gokart,Model 906c-4.The kart's in great shape,but it doesen't have a engine.I ride motorcycles with a bunch of guys that also ride 4-wheelers,And i was wondering is it possible to get a gokart engine that would put out enough power to keep up with them,or is that just not do-able? I also have a line on a 600cc motorcycle engine,Which would be realy cool,but Am realy not sure on what all would be needed for that kind of modification.Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated,thanks

Welcome aboard, relatively new here myself, but there's an amazing group here. start looking through the mini buggy, go kart and frankenbuggy thread's--there's no end to what you can build with these, take a look at others and let the merriment begin!

Welcome- Why bother with a go kart motor- just get an ATV engine (you'll have reverse) and put that on it and then you'll keep up with the buddies!!!

Thanks,metalstudman1,That's a good idea too,I realy like the motorcycle engine idea,But i'm also trying to take into account the weight,Availability,Cost & of course The difficulty level of each engine.I've been looking at some of your creations,They are truly amazeing,Wish i had your talent
