are snowblowers horizontal or vertical shafts

Horizontal shaft with a few exceptions.

do they make good cart motors

Depends on PTO configuration. Best to disassemble and take a look.

i had an 8hp Tecumseh and it was one of the best motors i ever had and it came from a snowblower

am still waiting for the lady to call me back to go look at the thing,,,,this is the ad '' used last year, not turned on this year, person said spark plugs need cleaning and or replacing and should work, only want $50.00 as is ''' so it sounds like its a good deal ,just to get the engine from it

Pretty simple. If the pull start comes off the side of the engine, it's a horizontal shaft. If it comes off the top of the engine, it's a vertical.

Does your comma button stick? Just sayin'.
