Brad,
I suggest a much better use: turn it into a windmill.
I finally got my hands on a motor from a 9-track I scrapped. It puts out
several amps at 24V+ when I hand-spin it. It will do nicely as a current
source to charge a lead-acid battery, especially where I live:

As Tony already mentioned, it won't have enough power output to be good
for a go-kart.
