    Opinion and/or Engine suggestions

    The kart I'm redoing came with a Tecumseh 8hp, 3/4" crank. It needs major help, repairable but is it worth it. What is yours thoughts of the best engine to replace it with ? I want to use the 3/4" clutch and the factory welded mount, don't mind drilling new mount holes. 8 hp to 12 hp.
