If those are 4 cycle engines, you can lay them on their side and they should last about 30 seconds. Don't even think about it.

Arent those things just splash lubricated. I can't imagine they have oil pumps in there. maybe I can find a transaxle from a riding lawnmower then I wont need to turn the motor on its side.

Most designs are splash lubricated but the oil must be at the bottom of the crankcase for the oil slinger to function properly and the internal gears to be properly lubricated.

I grew up with carts. As I remember, you can just buy a good B&S or Tecumseh in the right configuration cheaper than the lawnmowers they usually go on. I also wracked my young brain trying to figure out how to use the chain and derailer from a 10 speed to create a "transmission" allowing at least one "overdrive" gear. It only had "friction" brakes that were like flaps that slapped down against the tires, but you could still lock them up in a panic. My set up (I was like 7 years old) would do 40 and was awesome fun. It wasn't a racing cart though, those are insane crazy fun. I ended up finally selling it when I was like 17. Kinda wish I still had it, really.
