I remember building a go-cart with foot steering and foot brakes. We had no motor, however when dad would leave for work we would take the 4hp briggs and straton engine off his lawn mower and slap it on the go cart. Used a nylon string attached to the throttle for the accelerator. We really taxed our Guardian Angels with that go cart! Had to be sure to stick it back on before he returned for the day. He never could figure out why that lawn mower constantly needed repairs to the engine.
