The pull-start Tecumseh single-cylinder engine has never been started and sends power to the rear wheels through a chain drive assembly. The engine retains the factory safety tag on the fuel tank with initial fueling and start-up instructions, and the seller states that it has never been started.
Here's another Rupp racing cart that sold for $30,000. It is beautifully restored. I don't really understand putting 4 carbs on a single-cylinder engine, but in the comments, it's said that this combination would make about 25 hp on methanol, with a redline of at least 12,000 rpm.
