I want to build a go kart this summer but don’ have enough for a new engine. All I have is a vertical shaft lawnmower engine. People say that it won’t work. Why? What can I do to make it work?

Joey asked:


Not a go cart because I don’t have the skill or money to convert it to a horizontal shaft engine.
