Speaking of Geo Metro's, I have recently begun to consider building a go-kart. I recently came upon a running B & S 5-horse motor, and figured I could have my brother weld up the frame. Anybody have or know of any good plans available? I'm looking for something very basic to start with, and perhaps build a nicer one in several years.

We have 2, neither run. Common sense would dictate that we should get both running and race them around, but I don't know how to make the little B&S's run, and I've kinda been preoccupied with the RX-7, and the ATV.

You sir, are a comedian!



My budget for this project is to be measured in hundreds, not thousands of dollars!



That's what the 7 is for.
