The other day on ebay I stumbled upon one of these Chinese 6hp diesel horizontal shaft engines.
I've also seen some on Amazon as well and looking on YouTube there's quite a few videos of them in use and they seem to be pretty decent.
My first immediate idea was to find a go kart frame or buy a kart with a blown motor and put one of these on it and have a diesel go kart.
My only concern is that these turn a max of 3000 rpm and I don't know if that'll be enough to push a go kart fast enough for it to be fun.
Does anyone have any experience with these weird engines and could tell me if it'll work as well as I'm thinking it would or if I'm just wasting my time on this idea?
