I’d swap it. You can probably sell the extended cam and matching side cover on eBay to someone that needs it on a tiller.I had a chance to buy a 5hp Briggs funpower motor at a swap meet yesterday. This motor had a reversing gear on it. What is the best way to eliminate the reversing shaft? New cam? New sidecover? Maybe hacksaw off? I didn't buy it but I was wondering for next time.

I have a bunch of Kool bores I havta get running. My work bench is covered in tanks and heads and carbs and not one thing is put together. So I get another project and get absolutely. Nothing. Done.This has never happened before?
Once you let your focus drop, to preferred project, over what should be done, there is no going back.
Welcome to my world!
This is for a friends minibike, won’t see many RPM’s. funny how the OP had seen a funpower engine with the reverser at a swapmeet and the next day I get one dropped in my lap. Thank you Mr. Carlson and others for the advice on plugging the hole, now I can change the cam and tune it up, get it out the door.Truckphone, what is your intended use for this engine?
That is a bushing sidecover, which will limit your use to low rpm applications.
Nice fix on the extended cam boss though...I welch or freeze plug would have been quicker/easier but your fix just looks cooler.
Way too many projects -- that's my problem as well...so many customer projects that my own never see the light of day.
