Russ has threads on this (check the search option) and it mostly involves rotating the carb to the right orientation, making a mount, finding a clutch or drive that'll fit the output shaft. I have a Briggs 2-stroke, and so far, rotating the carb was the easy part.

I only read through a few, but you'll find he's posted a lot of great info about installing Lawn-boy motors on karts.
