Building a Go Cart

[Todd]

Does anyone have any websites or info on building a gokart, nothing fancy I have a little lawnmower motor for the power plant but I need to figure out how to swtich the horizontal spinning of the blank crankshaft to a vertical turning axle for forward momentum.

If someone has a website or drawings or plans for how to do this please let me know.

Todd, try http://www.kartworld.com many "racing" fanatics buy from them.

I don't buy, I build from scratch I just can't think of the best way to switch the movement from horizontal (-) motion to vertical (|) motion

here, try these...
Cam application, cam theory, carburetor, piston, rods and rings, porting, and maintenance.
