New engine!

[Marleysurf11]

Hello all. Really new to this site and go carts etc. I've owned plenty, but never have attempted to build one. So today I came upon a brigs and Stratton model number 020293. I cleaned it up, cleaned he carb and put some gas in it and it started right up. So my question to you all is can I use this engine for a go cart? Would be it fast ? Or what should I use it for? Thanks for he help! I'll be posting all my pics as I go along in this project... Im on the search now for an old frame I can use for a starter...

Not familiar with that engine code but Gewgling that number comes up as a pressure washer. A Troy Built pressure washer with a B&S engine.

Is it horizontal or vertical shaft? You will want the former for a go kart, not the latter.

Got pics? Pics are the end all, be all of any conversation regarding what-ifs.
