My go-cart needs a motor

After 15 years this maco go-cart has died.. It was a briggs & Strat 5hp.. The reason I'm giving this thread is because I have seen pics of a go-kart with a little 1 rotor (something like 40hp). Where can I get one of them? I figure if i brace the frame i could get it to support this engine.. If anyone would have any info on this please msg me.. thanks all rotor heads

Atkins probably has one left. I'm not sure if Dave wants to sell it though. Send them an email.

Not to stray you away from the rotary, but it would be much easier and cheaper to swap in a motorcycle engine. 125cc dirtbike engines usually have about 26-30hp, so hook up with a used 250cc engine and that thing will fly!
