So, I just bought this go kart frame for $75. Lucky for my dad and I we found it had a clutch and rear sprocket that came with it. My dad was unfamiliar with the type of clutch though, we think its a belt clutch. Here have a look at it:

The go kart, as you can tell, has no motor. We have a honda 5hp motor that we took off of a pressure washer. Now, the shaft on the motor is a standard quarter of an inch, so according to that and the clutch, what do I need to make it run? If it is a belt drive which Im assuming it is what kind of sprocket do I have to get?
The guy we bought the kart from had trouble thinking of a brand so he finally decided on “lightning-Karts” out of atlanta. I went on the web site and couldn’t find the parts I needed so I think he was wrong. Anyone know what kind of brakes these are and where I can find new ones?

As you can see their shot. Are there any other types of brakes that will work? If not where can I find a replacement.
Here are some pictures of the kart:

As you can see its a little off balanced, thats only because the back wheel is flat.
If you know where I can get the parts for this or if you know what brand it is please let me know. Thanks
Oh and if you see anything else that it needs let me know :]
its a centrifigal clutch. The faster the motor spins it the pulley closes up and makes the belt tighter making it pull the sprocket. You need a pulley on the engine, not a sprocket.the larger the pulley the less rpm's it will take to make the clutch engage
