Hey Junk Man! Im thinking about making a go cart and i have a fairly brand new craftsman 5.3hp engine with a verticle shaft. Im new at this stuff and i would like to know how you would hook up a verticle shaft engine to a frame and how it would work. Please get back to me as soon as possible.

Well, people say that it is a bad idea to do what you want to do, but they are idiots, you have 2 options.

1. Buy a right angle adapter or make one (with bevel gears) and turn a vertical to a horizontal.

2. The carb on thoses engines have a float in them so if you move the carb with a little bit of tubing then it may work if you shit the engine to horizontal. Email me with any questions.

YOU CANT TURN A VERICLE SHAFT ON ITS SIDE THE OIL WILL NOT LUBE THE EINGEN PROPERLY THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO GET A GOLF CART AXIL NR TURN THE SPROKET UP.

Well I think that you could turn ths engine sideways but you would have to change the gas tank and a lot of other things......

Make a hybrid hovercraft with four wheels still in contact with the road. Retain the steering and brake capability of a 4 wheeler. Add floats (in the event of engine failure) and cruise on water.

Just Turn the carb, and run the vertical engine till it breaks. What do you have to loss.

-- Blow me (penissuckersallofu@sukmycock.com), June 24, 2002.

use a belt and make it turn the 90 degrees u need to... hence attach a belt gear to the engine and attach a belt to the axle on the wheels... you may lose alittle power but its simple.

-- asdfer (asdfasdf@asdf.com), June 25, 2002.

well i was faced by the same problem... but not being a dickhead, i spent shit all on the motor, fucked around with it so it does work as a horizontal shaft and as some wanker said earlier, abuse the shite out of it till it brakes then get a new one... simple!!!

-- kuntstuble brad (kuntstublebrad@hotmail.com), June 25, 2002.

best idea is to use the belt system to go from horizontal to virtical (or viceversa). BUT, you'll have to offset the engine a few feet away from the axle to allow the belt to bend without stress. OR, just hit a jumk yard and a riding lawn mower or a gold card axle should work (granted you have a welder). OH, it always makes me laugh when those people that call people ugly names on the internet do so... It's only obvious that they can't do it in real life, cuase they lake the ball's or are about 5'2 and scrawny... so instead, they fill their need by doing it online, being able to hide behind the net... Everyone should hope for the best for those people, as they don't know that they are who they are... sad isnt' it?

I used a vertical shaft lawnmower engine to run a modified lawn tractor. The tractor was mounted to a swivel on the back of a push type lawn mower. I sat on the tractor, held the mower handle and got the lawn mowed with out walking. A real problem to concider when using a lawn mower engine for a belt drive application is that the engine depends on the cutting blade for it's flywheel. Their flywheel/cooling blowers are made of aluminum. When that is missing and is only replaced with a pully, the engine becomes very hard to start. It tends to snatch the rope painfully from your hand and will quit running if it missfires much. If you could use an engine from a snow blower or a rototiller, it would have a cast iron flywheel. Where should I advertize to sell a racing go-cart? Second question, where can I buy a good Kohler K301 engine for my model 125 Cub Cadet? Please respond to pscholand@rc.net as I might not check this forum regularly. Thank you.

-- Paul Scholand (pscholand@rc.net), August 09, 2002.

Stop playing with little boy's toys. Grow up! Go get yourself a nice blonde or redhead, take her home and fuck the shit out of her. They take a lot more abuse, they never run out of fuel because they run on hot air, they hardly ever break down, they are a lot more fun to ride, and you can ride one all night long without having to install lights and last but not least, you will never hit a tree.

Hope this helps John

-- chris mac (chrismac107@hotmail.com), September 05, 2002.

Hi Sorry about the bogus email and name, but there appear to be too many childish people on this forum I would rather not give that information to.

Anyway here's my best suggestion. First off you have to realize that lawnmower engines are engineered to work at a high RPM (look at how fast the blades turn). Secondly, even if you rotate the carb AND the gas tank, any internal lubrication will rely on gravity feed in a horizontal position. So rotating the engine will quickly ruin it.

So the best solution is to find a vertical to horizontal worm-gear reduction unit. This will achieve two things. You change the rotation from vertical to horizontal. And the reduction will give you more bottom end torque.

I used a 15 to 1 reduction on a 4Hp engine with a 20Kg frame and my son (who is much smaller than I) can actually peel-out in our go-kart.

Ok we can tell who the real fags are. How did we start talking about go carts and then get to chicks? The dude that wants us to eat his ass obviousely has no life cause he's talking about his made up girlfriend. He's probably gay. I bet the only true thing he said was that hes fat. He has to sit on these message boards and talk shit hoping that some people will be on his side and he'll have some friends for a change.

hye my name is joe and i have a way to take a vertical engine and change it to a horizontal one......1st.Shove your penis into the gas tank, make sure it is full. 2nd. Pull it out and then start the mower. 3rd. After the mower has been going for about a half an hour shove your penis into the gastank one more time.Repeat three times until hot. 4th.After your penis is warm,wrap it up in a cloth.Lite the cloth. when you hear sizzling stop. 5th. Now your penis should be finished. After you have been to the ER a couple times proceed. Rip the engine out of the mower. 6th. Now the engine should be easy to handle. Take it into a quiet spot and insert your penis into the gastank rapidly. Until pain has come. Now go buy a flipped fork gear and some chains. 7th. Chain the mower to the bed and insert your penis,rapidly. If you ejaculate into the gastank, it might help the drive. 8th. Take a spoon and stir the sperm with gasoline and give it a taste. It should taste like machanic ass. If so proceed...... 9th. Pour the JG into the gastank. Find a friend and rape him. Insert your penis into his buttocks,rapidly. After the complaining is over with pour the JG into his buttocks. If neccasary use the chains to strapp him down. While in his ass lite the JG and listen to him whail. 10th. You have successfully raped and friend and motor. Tip:bigger the mower bigger the fun. Try sneaking your dads V10 from the new ford. Good Luck with the lawnmower!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-- ???????? (coyoteradio@aol.com), October 12, 2002.

Seriously, how difficult is this to figure out? Put a pulley on the shaft, then a pulley on the rear axel. Get a belt long enough that you can do a 90 degree turn. Simple as that.

-- crack man (i_wish_i_was_high@crack.meth), June 25, 2004.

IT'S SIMPLE AND IT'S LEGAL!!!!!!! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it a little while back, I was browsing through news groups just as you are right now and came across a article similar to this saying that you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6. 00!! So, I thought yeah right. This must be a scam, but like most of us, I as curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send one dollar to each of the six names and addresses stated in the article. You then delete the first address and change the numbers. ( 2 becomes 1, 3 becomes 2, etc.) place your own name and address on the bottom of the list at number 6 and post the article to at least 200 newsgroups. (there are thousands) No catch that was it. Therefore, after talking to a few people and thinking it over I decided to try it. What do I have to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00 right? Then I invested the measly six dollars. WELL GUESS WHAT!!! Within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail!!! I was shocked. I thought it was going to stop but it just kept coming. In my first week, I made $25.00. By the end of the second week, I had $900.00. In the end of the third week, I made $5,000.00!!! It's still growing right now. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $38,000.00! Moreover, it's still coming in rapidly. This is certainly worth $6.00 and 6 stamps. I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly why it works...Also make sure that you print a copy of this article NOW so you can get the information off of it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more money than you possibly thought just by doing something so easy!! SUGGESTION: READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE CAREFULLY (Print it out or down load it) Follow the simple directions and watch the money come in! It's easy. It's legal. And your investment is only $6.00 (plus postage) IMPORTANT: This is not a rip off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal; and it is virtually no risk - it really works!!!!! If all of the following instructions are adhered to, you will receive extraordinary dividends. PLEASE NOTE: please follow these directions exactly and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become a part of the mail order business. In this business, your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing a mailing list. Many large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality list. However, the money made from the mailing list is secondary to the income, which is made from people like you and me asking to be included to that list. Here are the four steps to success: STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 us 1dollar bills and place ONE inside EACH of the six pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. MAKE SURE THERE ARE ENOUGH STAMPS ON YOUR ENVELOPES. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase your name and address and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us, I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So, I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal!!!!! Mail the six envelopes to the following addresses. One to each address #1) Mike Gordon 204 South Maple St.Linchester,KY.40391 #2) Jeff Waldrop 39-A Lucy Rd. Laurel,MS.39443 #3) Chris McCreary ,21 Batchelor tr. Edgewood N.M. 87015 #4)Alex Pagel 3720 High Gables West Cumming GA 30041 #5) Stephen Guerrero 611 so. 20th st. La Crosse, WI. 54601 #6) P.O Box 1927 Oliver B.C V0H 1T0 STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc.. .) and add YOUR name as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to but try to keep this article as original as possible. Now post your amended article to at least 200 news groups. ( I think there are 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post , the more money you make!** EVERYBODY AROUND THE WORLD CAN DO THIS BUT REMEMBER TO PUT ENOUGH STAMPS ON YOUR ENVELOPES!!!!**

I have an idea for a rear differential for a go cart instead of using a solid shaft for a 2 wheel drive go cart. I have a 30 year old 8 hp briggs and it is belt driven. Drive that to a middle shaft that converts belt driven to two gears the same size of a centrifical clutch gear, so the middle shaft consist of a belt pully and two gears. have a half shaft connected to each rear wheel and a centrifical clutch to each end of the shaft. that makes it so you could go around turns with two wheel drive and not keep on going straight and since I have an 8 hp engine it should produce enough power to keep up with a 5 hp with all the extra belts gears and shafts
