Looks like a 206 to me but can't quite tell. I have this kart but now it's a 420cc clone kart for local big boy series with total weight of 450lbs. We run a whole bunch of random chassis for our class all based on shifters 30 or 32mm chassis. I actually like this old School biesse but parts are tough to get lucky we have a CNC.

Disney-your are correct, it is an LO206-a sealed spec engine on the sing;e pic kart.

The lower ones are vintage karts and they are West Bends and Macs. I started kart racing in SW Ohio in 1958. I taught in the Kings Mills School system for 2 years before moving south. I was there when Kings Island was built!
Kart racing is tHe best bang for the buck in Motorsports. We have a dedicated kart track at ATLANTA Motorsports park, 26 ft wide, .85 miles long, 17 turns and 43 ft of elevation change all at once,,like the Luguna Secca corkscrew. Our karts hit 90mph on the straight on the kart track and 130 on the 2 mile car track. Had two guys from Cincy battlinging it out on the kart track at those speeds a few months ago...

Nice!

That old girl looks like she might be a handful though!
