Go Kart, by definition is a simple 4-wheeler, single seater on track vehicle with no differential and suspension system. Fabrication of go-kart aid in learning about all the divisions involved in vehicle design like chassis, steering, transmission, brakes and so on. In any vehicle, engine determines the speed and power of a vehicle, as so in go karts. McCulloch MC-10 was the first go kart engine which is a manually transmitted two stroke engines adapted from chain saw, manufactured by McCulloch Company.At present they are many engines existing which are appropriate for go kart. This paper aims to study the velocity, acceleration, torque, sprocket ratio and slipping condition of three different types of engines (manual transmission engine, continuous variable transmission engine and industrial engine). Engines are opted as per standards issued by Society of Automobile Engineers (SAE), India and abroad. Analytical formulations are used to carry-out the performance comparison. This study helps design engineers or automobile enthusiasts in proper selection of engines based on their need and their application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
