it just barley fits. i know you are gonna have questions of how im gonna pull this off. watch-n-learn. btw i said specificaly i wasnt gonna do this, but here we are. im gonna need a serious wheelie bar on this one
the set screw on the motor mount fell out. oops. the rear bearing in the torque converter has left the chatroom. i need to tear it down to the frame, and than paint it.
Those little chonda motors don't like to be run off a pedestal, they do better with a more solid mount. I tried that on my first kart, the vibes were so bad, I had to alter it.

It didn't break anything, but the vibrations would foam the fuel in the bowl making it hard to get a constant throttle.
What you got is pretty close, if you welded a solid piece of flat stock across your square tubes it would be a rock. Mark and drill the mounting holes for the engine and elongate the holes to adjust your chain, drill two holes for each corner and cut the middle out with a jigsaw. File it all to clean it up. Then you will only need one adjusting screw to move the engine forward, put a compression spring between the screw head and nut.
i have slots along the square tube i milled, so it goes side to side. im not having problems with the engine leaning out. i have heavier spring in the governer, and i rev to about 4500, and its not surging or having symptoms of fuel starvation
i managed to tear the the sprocket off the drive wheel. i used some 683 to hold it on, because i know a guy who managed to 683 the accessory drive pully to the crankshaft to a Toyota Corola. that car made it to 458xxx miles before it got a hole in the gas tank and it wasnt worth fixing
