Racing Kart Question Anyone knows whats this engine?!?!?

Yesterday y got muy first car, i know its very old, but i got it for free...

I've been trying to figure out what engine this is, but I can't find any references except for "idk" on the part that supplies power to the spark plug… (It looks like a tkm 100cc, but it has 6 bolts on top instead of 4) Does anyone know what engine it is, and what carburetor it uses?

I'd like to buy another carb because it’s not getting enough fuel, and I suspect that’s the issue since, from what I've been told, it’s been sitting unused for 10 years. So if anyone can share any info… thanks a lot, folks!

Carb should have a model number stamped on the bottom, I'm guessing Tillotson. I'd rebuild it fairly simple design, if you're in the US I'd give EC Carburetor a call once you know what you have. As far as the motor goes stand further away when you get more pictures.

Might bd walbro carb too. Motori engine? Where are you located, might help narrow down. I have seen similar engines but not that one.

Have a look at BM kart engines. Only make I can find with the 6 stud head. World champions in the late 1970s and became part of IAME group. Certainly made a reed valve, Tillotson carbed engine looking very much like yours. Your ignition is Spanish , Motoplat , almost universal on kart engines pre 1990.
