My lawn mower just broke, so I bought a new one and have decided I'm going to build something out of the old one. I've already dissected the old engine, and there wasn't any major damage, so I'm gona use it to build a little go-kart. Here are some pics of the engine being taken apart:

thats awesome...when i was in middle school, my parents riding mower died. actually, my mother ran over a cinder block...she said that "she didnt see it'...but i wanted to mess around and turn it into a gokart...but he told me that it would be a waste of time. i thought that it would make for a fun project...but he let it sit there until they went away, and since my dad does small engine repair, we took our old mower, and our neighbors old mower that was also all beat up....we roped off a small roadcourse in the backyard, and ran a 50 lap, to 'Car" feature....people sat and watched...sadly...with about 6 laps left, mine blew up, and my buddy won.

keep us posted, i am very interested!
