I have a design for a kart in mind, and have done up a VERY ROUGH sketch on MS Paint. I currently have a 550cc 4-cylinder Honda engine I am going to use, but if anyone has a spare 12A they could donate (in the NY/NJ/PA/OH area) I would be thankful...I would love to make it rotary but I dont have an engine layin around. Here is the rough sketch (the hand drawing looks better):

Also, I will begin building the frame very soon, hopefully early next week. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Teknics-Well I think my 550 Honda would put down a little more grunt, but thanks for the offer. If I end up not using the engine I have, I will ask you for yours should you still want to sell it. I should get started next week on this along with my other project, "Project BP SE"

Oh and after looking at the design again, I think the pedals will have to be a lot more forward than that
