hey all,
dug the old riding lawnmower out of the shed today and figured i'd use its 14hp briggs & stratton to power a homemade gokart.
problem is, the engine has a vertical output shaft. has anyone here made a successful go kart or something of the sort using one of these engines?
anyone have ideas how to transfer the power to the horizontal axis? ive got a picture in my head of what the gears would look like, if i used gears. don't know what they're called though. can someone fill me in?
