help identifying an engine?

[carter]

I have a premade go kart from a brand name, it is a carter go cart and I would like some help identifying the engine, whatever can bo offered is appreciated.

Tecumseh Power Sport. L-head, likely 5-6hp. Look around especially on the fan shroud for ID numbers.

this thing really hauls for a 5-6 the ID number for the air filter is 33268, if I recall on the box it said it was for 10hp models.

Edit: the description of the filter on the website says it fits 7,8&10 hp models

Could be. Try to find engine ID numbers. Here's another angle- what is the PTO shaft diameter 3/4" or 1"?

there are plastic shrouds all around the cart back but it said the cart could be a HM70, H80, HM80, HM100. I was gonna take a look at each of those and see which resembles it closer

Edit: I have narrowed it down to the 8 and 10 models

its actually the 8, the 10 has no option for electric start and mine has a keystart

Sure its not just a shutoff?

when I turn the key a starter motor goes, so I'm pretty sure

Yep, looks 8-11 to me.
