Well small Diesel engines will not be cheap. Most are probably going to be in larger lawn tractors or equipment.

one would think that a diesel engine and all that you need for the fuel system would far out weigh just about any go cart setup.
WIth that said good luck sir.

Your best off finding a rotted out old VW. Their diesels run forever.

im looking for a small kubota that you’d find in bobcats or something similar. that would be an ideal size. even a 3 cylinder will do. not a 7.3L…
