I'm interested in deactivating cylinders because or a rod knock that has left one cylinder of a 2.4L inline 4 ruined. I'm wondering if i can use this engine on my Go Kart (which previously had a 5hp engine(and barely got me to work on time
)) I've got a carburetor and was wondering if i can just remove the piston or weld it in place if i need to. Would this work and just shake a lot or would it even crank over? Everything was free and I would like to see it all run again even if I need to Frankenstein it back together. Thanks
