Question

Ive wanted to make a Gokart but I cant spend a lot and I dont know where I would get a vertical shaft engine and don't know how to weld.

Answer 1

For starters you want a horizontal shaft engine.

Check out The Edge Products -> http://www.git.com.au/~theedge/

Just click on the Buggies Menu link near the top of the page.

These guys have been around for 20 years or so, and they're getting more and more popular. The Edge Products s world famous within the buggy community, you may have even heard of their Sidewinder buggy.

They have a range of gokarts and buggies ranging from the Raven all the way up to the Barracuda.

You can buy plans to make them yourself, and you can buy parts and components if you can't make everything yourself, and you can even buy complete kits of gokarts, ready to paint and bolt together.
