[JN210]

^yea, im sure you can find a way to make it work though.

easier to do a horizontal shaft. I have never seen a vertical shaft go kart.

it really wont work. Youd have to have a pretty weird setup for that. Like a differential type deal? I have a 6.5 hp briggs motor thats next to new that i bought brand new from fleet farm a few years ago for my barstool. It rips pretty good. Ill sell it cheap
