Dear wrenchheads. Need ideas. K&thxU.

Get an old chainsaw and put a sprocket on the rear wheel. I knew a kid in school who had a go-kart that used two chainsaw motors, one sprocket behind each rear wheel... that thing would fly!

Do you guys think a weed eater would have enough power to push a 195 lb rider? I need something small with enough power to make this worthwhile...

Oh yha... a weed eaters like 30cc... chainsaws get even better.

The chain saw idea would be best, just get a good big old chain saw motor and hook it up, make sure there is a clutch though....

You know, for some reason I was thinking chainsaw, but never said it.

+1 to chainsaw.

I think my Homelite trimmer had a 36cc engine. I'm not sure what the Echo has but it is a heavy bugger.

rear wheel drive, short wheel base, very tall. You would be flipping the thing backwards a lot. I think you are wasting your time personally.

wheelie bar, man.

i can't see this ending well.
