Pics will help

Have you tried googling it. I see there are several links when i tried to google. I didn't have enough time to look at them though

 

[Miky]

I have tried but I can't find exact same number, only first part of the number is the same but second isn't. I will post pictures afternoon

Not standard Tecumseh fare.
It is a Italian made vertical shaft engine built solely for the European market.
This model is probably around ~3.5 to 3.75 HP...just an educated guess. Standard governed RPM is still 3600.
Second part of number indicates PTO configuration and serial.
Not too well suited for anything other than its original purpose.

Thanks for info, I know it's week for normal person on a kartingu but I got it for free, I will mod it a little bit then it will be ok

 

[Russ2251]

I will mod it a little bit then it will be ok

It's gonna' take a lot more than a little "bit" for it to be "ok".
Very few successes with a vertical shaft anything for a gokart.
"Free" pretty much describes its actual worth.

I think it is going to be OK for a kid with 30 kilos

Would be but for one major hurdle and 30 kilos is not the problem.

Miky, the problem with vertical engines is not the weight it will carry, but the actual conversion to be useful for a kart. We can try help you with the conversion, but very few of these "conversions" ever work properly

 

[Miky]

It will work fine, I have no doubt about it...

 

[landuse]

I love your enthusiasm...

 

[Russ2251]

Build thread perhaps?

 

[landuse]

Build thread perhaps?

I agree. Do a build thread for us showing us how you do it

 

[Miky]

Don't think I don't have any respect to what you guys are saying but everything is possible.
I can't find on Internet how much cc is this engine, anybody knows?

Please don't think i am saying that you cannot do it. Typing on the internet sometimes doesn't carry over the proper meaning people are trying to present.

I would definately like to see you do this build. I hope you succeed in it too. It will help a lot of other people out there who are trying to do the same thing

Most folks on this site come from the U.S. and would not specifically know what size engine you have.
Supply me with diameter of cylinder bore (caliper) and I can cross reference to the U.S. manufactured engine.

 

[Miky]

I don't have measuring device so I used measuring tape, roughly diameter is 6.4 cm.

 

[Russ2251]

roughly diameter is 6.4 cm.

Roughly is not good enough. Borrow a caliper.
