Here is what you could try. Use a belt not a chain With pulleys.
You should be able to twist the belt the 90 degree's between pulleys. A tooth belt and tooth pulley's are a possibility they won't slip. A regular V-pulley may slip and burn but is a cheaper set-up. I don't know if you can get a clutch to fit your motor so maybe direct drive?

I take it that the motor is a 4 cyl ? [don't have to mix oil with the gas] if so it will NOT run on its side, if its a 2 cyl it will run that way, Mount the engine in front or rear of the wheels, use 2 pulleys mounted on a shaft thru bearings, [called pillow block bearings] run one belt to the rear wheel shaft, the other to the motor, you should be able to purchase a centrifugal clutch for the engine, [see a small engine dealer, ]
this will allow you to start the engine and let it idle ,with out moving the cart, to go just Rev it up, PUT brakes on it.
