I'm new to this forum. Let me start with I'm looking for information and help on this project. I'm not going to race on a track. Just buddies having fun in a old parking lot. With that said let me tell y'all what I have a old racing go kart frame with tires,seat, brakes and a steering wheel. A briggs 5hp flathead in pieces not sure if it a raptor 1,2,or 3. Looks like it might be a aluminum bore with what looks to be a stock parts except the cam and valves springs. Cam looks like. 94-ss cheater and double valve springs. The block looks to have a little amateur work done. The bore is scared but not oversized. The valves port have the only noticeable work done. Someone tried to port them out. And I have a tillotson carb numbers say hl-314a. So my question how should I build this motor? I kinda want it to run alcohol. Let me know your ideas please?
Should I bore it out?
Should I run a longer rod?
What size cam should I run?
Should have work done to the head?
Valves?
Etc?
