go kart engine snowmobile modle

Another popular choice for people who build their own go karts is to use an old snowmobile engine. This choice is usually very powerful and lightweight. They are typically 2 stroke, and offer a lot of power for their size. Snowmobiles also typically use a CVT (continuously variable transmission), and this can be adapted for use on a go kart. These can be extremely powerful for their size, but keep in mind that they are normally quite loud and can be a bit finicky to run. Some of these also do not like to run at lower RPM's and some may foul spark plugs. Many of these 2 cycle powerplants can rev up to high RPM's and can make a go kart very fast! Even too fast! So, be careful if you decide to choose one of these.
