    actually either or which ever i can come across first. I am sure the 2 stroke will be cheaper. I am not concerned about elec start either just a simple running motor I will not be powering headlamps or anything

    If you can make a simple engine mount I put a 8hp tecumseh in one pretty easy. Cheap and surprisingly still has power to climb hills and such. Briggs would also work fine. I know you said it dont matter but if your lucky you can find them with electric start and lighting/charging coil.

    The problem with that is the crankshaft. You will need to get one that can support a clutch. You will most likely need to get a clutch. There are some gokart site you can purchase them or ebay. A cheap clutch that will work is the comet 40 series but there are better clutches too.
