Do not see why it would not work. If you wanted 1HP Kart. I think those are rated at 1hp.

Russ2251 · Feb 9, 2011

It's a B&S WM rated at ½ hp.
1/2" PTO will require some finessing to get a clutch on there.
Of course he could use direct drive.

Bluethunder3320 · Feb 10, 2011

Anyways wouldnt a straight pipe, k&n filter, higher compression or something give it at least 2hp?

Russ2251 · Feb 10, 2011

Not a chance.

Bluethunder3320 · Feb 10, 2011

Do you know of the displacement?

Russ2251 · Feb 10, 2011

oscaryu1 · Feb 10, 2011

Tillotson, straight pipe, pert it, mill down the head, advance timing, mill down teh flywheel, weld up the cam and regrind it ^^ )

Russ2251 · Feb 10, 2011

Waste of time/money.

oscaryu1 · Feb 10, 2011

In your opinion

Russ2251 · Feb 10, 2011

I can only speak from experience.
Money would be better spent on a GF.
