Weed Wacker Go Cart

 

Building a go-cart with an old weed eater motor can be a fun and rewarding DIY project. It's a great way to reuse an old motor and create something new and functional. Here's a step-by-step guide for building a go-cart using pine wood and an old weed eater motor.

  1. Gather materials: In addition to the weed eater motor, you will need a few other materials to build your go-cart. These include pine wood for the frame, screws and nails for attaching the wood, a chain to connect the motor to the wheels, and wheels and axles. You may also need other tools such as a saw, drill, and hammer.
  2. Cut the wood: Begin by cutting the pine wood into the pieces you will need for the frame. You will need two long pieces for the sides of the frame, two shorter pieces for the front and back, and four smaller pieces for the crossbars.
  3. Assemble the frame: Next, use screws or nails to attach the wood pieces together to form the frame of the go-cart. Make sure the frame is sturdy and all the pieces are securely attached.
  4. Install the motor: Next, attach the weed eater motor to the frame of the go-cart. You can use bolts or screws to secure the motor in place.
  5. Attach the wheels and axles: Next, attach the wheels and axles to the frame of the go-cart. You will need to drill holes in the wood for the axles to fit through. Make sure the wheels are securely attached and can spin freely.
  6. Connect the chain: Finally, attach the chain from the motor to the wheels. This will allow the motor to power the go-cart. Make sure the chain is tightened properly and runs smoothly.
  7. Test it out: Once you've finished building your go-cart, it's time to test it out. Start the motor and make sure the go-cart moves smoothly and safely. If everything looks good, you're ready to start riding!

Building a go-cart with an old weed eater motor can be a fun and rewarding project. It's a great way to reuse an old motor and create something new and functional. Just be sure to follow these steps and use caution when working with tools and machinery.
