Answer
Your typical lawn mower engine won't work because of the vertical crank shaft. You would need a way to transfer the engine output from vertical rotation to horizontal rotation.

If you try and run a vertical shaft motor on its side, it won't get the proper lubrication and will quickly fail. See the first link below to understand why a vertical shaft motor won't work for your application.

You need a horizontal shaft motor like the ones used in a roto tiller or a snow blower. These will also have more horse power than a lawn mower motor.

The second link below has lots of different new small engines. If you have a Harbor Freight store near by, you will find horizontal shaft engines there cheaper.

If a new engine is out of your budget, watch the classified section of your local news paper. Watch for a used roto tiller or a snow blower. You may also want to checkout the local yard sales for these items. For a go kart, look for something with at least 8 horse power.

You also need some sort of clutch mechanism. These typically use a centrifical clutch.

The third link you will find clutches. Without a clutch, there is no way to disengage the power to the wheels. There would be no way to start or stop and keep the engine running. The torque converter setup is the best way to go, but may be out of your budget. A centrifical clutch will cost you about $30. A torque converter setup will cost you about $225.

The third link also has lots of accessories you might need like motor mounts, chains, brakes, tires, steering, etc.
