Gidday mate , if your interested I can email you a couple of photos of a whipper snipper engined go kart I built for my kids, my twin boys who are 4 ride it as well as my 9 yr old daughter although she is getting a bit tall. It has a Ryobi engine through a chainsaw clutch , then through a 4 inch angle grinder head which gives a 6-1 reduction,I hand cut a 8 tooth drive sprocket for the output side of the grinder head, and used a pushbike chain and front sprocket to get drive to the axle.
