Just use the origanal chain that came on the chain saw and make sure you make a heavy chain guard.

Incase the chain snaps, I'd rather not have a chainsaw chain whip me in the leg driving my go-kart.

you would not use the chain on the saw, it is for cutting wood and would never take a sproket, you have to get a chain from a mini bike or something.

that would be excedingly difficult to put on there and make work. i had that go cart as a kid and i didnt fit on it when i was 10.

there is just no way you will get it on that cart, you dont even fit on it unless you are about 4 feet tall. it is designed for a kid and the tubing on it is very thin and wont take the stress from a engine like that.

if i were you i would build a hovercraft or put it on a bike.

if you want it to move you at all you will have to moddify it a little, clean the carborator and maybe even moddify the exhaust and make a larger gas tank.

what ever you do, good luck.
