Powerbee engine

Would this engine be suitable for a kart or mini bike. Does anyone know what is under that clutch and pulley.

Bidding ends today on that engine.
I'm sure you could find a clutch to fit it, or get a good crank for a couple hundred or less. That is the best deal I have seen on a West Bend in a long time.

I didn't get it. I was going to take a chance at 200 but sold for 340 plus shipping. I don't know enough about them to know what parts needed and cost

I had my max bid in at 275, it blew past my bid in the last hour of the auction.
The ad said it runs great.
Other than a clutch to fit that crank, there is a piston, a rod and a crank in there, a couple of bearings and gaskets. No governor, no cam, no gears. If you just leave them alone, with good gaskets and seals, they are great little, lightweight engines.
Don't be scared of 2 strokes. Weed eaters and chainsaws are still 2 strokes.
