Default 600F3 Motor in go kart

So I have a spare 600 motor laying around since my motor swap last month. My friends and I got an idea...put that motor on a racing go kart chassis. I already have the chassis and motor. I know I need the carbs, some sort of and exhaust and electrical wiring. I also need the coil packs. What else is completely necessary for the motor to run on the chassis. We plan on welding in a roll cage for safety. Thanks

are you nuts? But granted, we did this with a 700something yamaha. the clutch and shifter is the tricky part.

LOL I did a 440 snowmobile motor when I was 17. It was insane. I built the kart and everything.

All I can think is carbs, Fuel tank, Fuel pump, Wiring harness with ECU, coils, header, Battery, and I would run a tach or wire up a shift light.

have you considered finding a cheap quad chassis?

My next project is going to be a Raptor with an R1 motor.
