Project Tiny Mighty, modding a Briggs & Stratton engine



Haven't touched it in a while, I thought about trying to keep it vertical shaft, but the only way to keep it like that is either with a transaxle from a lawn tractor, or a 90° gearbox.

So how to modify the oiling system without putting an oil flinger on the rod cap and unbalancing it...

Plus I need to clean up the intake and exhaust ports (maybe), get a different carb, and find something to put it in... Among other things. Like a tiny turbo. :D
 
Thankfully I didn't get too far with this engine before I found this...



That right there is a crack, in the worst place possible... So it's getting stripped for parts and I'm on the hunt for a 5hp Briggs. Or something.

I did start working on a frame for a go kart... It's gonna be tiny, low and... 13x650-6 slicks on a live axle.
 


I tried getting the side cover back on and if fought me, almost as if the crankshaft isn't straight anymore.

Plus it would need a new head gasket, a carb, a pull starter... I can use it for mock-up on the frame, but it'll never run right.
