The first "go-kart" engine, as used by Art Ingles and Duffy Livingston in 1956, was a WestBend 5.1 cubic inch model 2723, also known as a model "750", lawnmower engine.

You want to make a go-cart out of a lawnmower engine and a pedal go cart frame you have no experience with engines could anyone tell you how to do this?

you would first have to have a side shaft engine. then weld a sprockit to the axle. of the go-cart. line up the side shaft of the engine with the sprockit weld another sprockit to the shaft. then use a bike chaine to connect the two, to make the axle move the wheels. to make it go fast and slow u first need a turtle and a hare lever on the engine. First u need to spring load the lever so when u pull it to hare then relsase it it will pull it self back to hare to make it go slow. mount the gas peddle to the floor of the go-cart. then u need a strong wire from the peddle going across the floor to the turtle and hare lever. tie the line to the lever so that when u push on the peddle the lever will be pulled to hare! hope this works for u !!!!!!

Is there a speed control on ezgo golf cart?

There probably isn't a speed control on the golf cart itself, but on its engine. To get more or less speed out of it, you would need to mess with the governor (on the engine itself).
