not even sure it's a possibility.   try finding a 12+ wire with a voltmeter.   maybe something off the ignition?   there should be only a few wires (kill switch and ignition)

well theres a kill switch on the engine and one on the steering wheel...will the switch on the engine have a 12+ wire?..because i thought kill switches just ground the engine out....if i cant use power from that then there is nothing else on the go kart that gives off power...but ill try it

The engine would have to have a stator under the flywheel for this to work, if it does not have electric start, then I doubt it's there. You could hook up a battery and just charge it every now and then.
