This vintage go-kart plans guide provides detailed instructions for building your own go-kart from scratch. The guide features easy-to-follow plans that encourage a hands-on approach, with many parts readily fabricated. Essential components like go-kart wheels and brakes can be sourced from online suppliers. Designed for a one-seater go-kart, the plans can be easily adapted to accommodate two passengers, a practical consideration given the inherent desire of children to share the experience. The guide emphasizes simplicity and focuses on the core elements of go-kart design. While modern karts often incorporate roll bars for added safety, this vintage guide prioritizes a streamlined approach, echoing the spirit of classic go-karting. It recommends using a 5 HP tiller motor, emphasizing the need for a horizontal shaft motor, as opposed to vertical shaft lawn mower engines, due to differences in oil and gas delivery systems. The guide advises against using live axles, suggesting that a direct connection between the sprocket and drive wheel provides a simpler and more effective solution. Live axles can lead to turning challenges as both wheels turn at the same rate. This manual is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to experience the classic joy of building and riding their own go-kart.
