Sam

Answer
It's very hard to use a vertical shaft engine (like lawn mower) on a go kart. It has been done before but alot more torque and money than it's worth
A horizontal shaft engine is what you want (used on pressure washers, log splitters, etc)
You can buy good new china made clones of honda engines for cheap now.

As a summer project me and my kids built 2 karts. Used harbor freight 6.5 HP $100 engines on both. It pulls me at 285 lbs just fine.
The top speed, the torque, etc of a go kart has more to do with gearing (sprocket sizes) than engine HP.
We built one from ground up, welded frame together and everything. Its geared at 5:1 and will top out at around 35 MPH, pull it has trouble starting off on a hill or pulling up steep hills even with my 120 lbs son on it.
The other one we did was a modded dingo frame, same engine, but used a jackshaft to gear it to 11.4:1. Top speed on it, is only around 19/20 mph but it has enough torque to spin the rear tires on pavement and leave black rubber marks. Pulls up hills like mad
