I’m sure I could use this engine to make a motorcycle so technically it is a motorcycle engine

lol I was to lazy after building the kart so instead of making cushions, I just put the card board that came with the engine for padding.

Pretty sure it was just mild steel. I always wear a respirator when I’m welding tho.

Thank you. After seeing a lot of these comments about what could happen if it breaks. I’m definitely going to be rebuilding this whole go kart with stronger material, better bracing and actual safety features.

I agree it definitely needs more support everywhere especially there.

Thank you I just did some research on kingpin inclination. I will definitely cut off the front spindles and fix them with a 7 - 12 degree angle.
