Just a middle-range one, not particularly expensive.
Preferably one you actually use that is good.
Aka a 'whipper snipper' or lawn 'trimmer' or something - I DON'T KNOW... just looking for a good brand name
Answer
I have a "Little Wonder" which were/are put out by MTD; a large Mower etc Dealer. Were made in USA and plenty of parts available if you need but rarely have any trouble. If you need it to cut back edges along paths etc it's the best one I have used, better the VICTA and most other edgers. I have 620ft of edging (in my old language) to do every now and then. Easy to use and a cinch to maintain. If you're looking for a Whipper Snipper go for a "Styll" brand and don't waste your money on the cheaper brands that are available in Bunnings and the like. Talk to a trusted mower repair shop proprietor if you know of one, as they can normally in all honesty, can tell you what brands they recommend and what cheaper brands to stay away from as most aren't repairable etc. Be careful if you're looking for an electric 240vAC one as they are in my mind not worth the bother of having to run out 50ft of lead etc, they are also too dangerous in my mind as an Electrician as you can cut the power lead easily and that adds a risk to life if you don't have an earth leakage circuit breaker or similar to save you from bigger problems, even so these electric ones are in some cases claimed to be "Double Insulated" etc. I personally wouldn't take the risk having seen some of "their" Double Insulated methods.

hey i live in emerald australia,QLD and im making a off road go kart and i want a lot of get up and go like really fast and thee motor and the hardest thing to find im trying to look for a motorbike motor a 250cc 2stoke of 4stoke 2hand and i seen on youtube they where yousing i think a push lawn mower motor or ride on one it was a 8HP om i was just thinkin wat will the = in cc mode and how fast would in go
Answer
A push mower engine would be very difficult to adapt to a go cart because of the vertical crankshaft. A horizontal crankshaft riding mower engine would be your best bet. How fast your machine would go will depend on horsepower, engine speed, the type of drive you provide, size of belt pulleys or chain sprockets and wheels. A typical four stroke horizontal shaft engine rated at 8 hp will be anywhere from a 190 to a bit over 300 cc's depending on it's configuration. You need to decide what make and model of engine you want and get some engineering help from a dealer or a small engine shop nearby.
