What you diesel boys always tel me is "It ain't the horsepower, it's the torque".

Whole gobs of torque (technical term) to that pony motor,. Your go kart motor needs a big flywheel. And reduction gearing.

But if you think it will work, how about oikls cups or zerks in Cat's babbit? It's only intermittant and short term.
