k181s kohler engine, cast iron block, seems to need a freshening up, i think the rings are shot. idk transmission details, probably a 3 or 4 speed, but looks like a 4x4" bolt pattern though, so possible to throw on some honda rims, make a trike/gocart out of it since i have ford front spindles/rotors (and rims) and some subie rims that may fit the rearend with modification

Kohler called me yesterday and offered me a Coop engineering position. I was kinda pissed. They were my top choice but i had already accepted an offer a couple months ago. Kohler is friggin awesome.

this motor is from the early 60's, so you know it isnt gonna be like a tecumseh and eat a rod at 3800 rpm, where a briggs will push 5500 all day and only bend a valve or some ----

i dont understand why you guys keep building go-karts w/ weak *** engines. why dont you use a ------- bike engine, even if its some 80's POS motor it will be a lot faster than these 5-10hp turds.
i have no desire to build one but if i did that would be the only way

^^^agreed. I'm sure egay has just about any kind of motor you could want. Even a 250cc 2-stroke motor would be 100x better than that heavy underpowered tank of an unrelaible motor.
