which engine is it first of all
iff its a briggs and straton or any of those side shaft pump,generator engines(not lawn mower) you will need to measure the shaft and its a dry centrifugal clutch you will use cost you bout $100 us new so measure the shaft diameter and length.

For rims if they are 5inch diameter you can get tires also check if the back wheels are wider, Tyres are usually run tubeless but if they are two piece that split in half you may want to get tubes but its possible to run it tube less.

I'm build up a kart Shifter rolling chasis..... all I need is a seat......I'm getting an engine online ;) a bike engine.....also anyone have a seat pm me thanks lol
Building a kart is easy and cheap....building a kart to race to fit the regulations will cost you a lot, not to mention you go through a set of tires(1500-2000$) each time you run the kart for a race, building a kart for fun though you will buy used tires for 800 a set :D and have fun
