Generator engine for go kart?

[Briggs8Stratton]

Hi all, I have a really nice v-twin Briggs and Stratton engine off of a generator. I would like to put it on a go kart but I have no idea what to do about the tapered shaft. I want to avoid machining it down if possible. Does anyone know of an adapter I can get?

You can just buy a new crank worst case scenario. 16 hp?

does the 16 hp crank of the same engine fit the 14hp version? On ebay I saw a crank from a 16 hp (same kind of engine), and my engine is the same except it is 14 hp.

you have a pic of your engine i may have a crank.

This is all I have right now. I can get more tomorrow. It is a 14 HP Briggs and Stratton Vanguard V-Twin. I don't know how old. The second one isn't my engine but it is a picture of the same engine without the generator head on it. It shows the tapered shaft, and the bolt that sticks out is something that screws off.
