 It likely has the diaphragm type carburetor used on most of the 3hp 2-cycle snowblower carburetors that will have to be replaced. (I meant the diaphragm only) The points will need cleaning as they tend to have a coating of light corrosion on the contacts. Best bet is to replace the points and condenser since the parts are cheap.
Rotating the recoil starter CCW 45 degree's enables easier starting. A basic max-torque clutch with a 10-12 tooth #35 pitch sprocket to fit a 5/8" shaft is recommended, I also have those on hand. It might be possible to mount a 4" brake band on the sump cover to brake the clutch drum on these tecumseh engines, depending on drilled and tapped holes on that side of the engine. Manco frame is a good candidate, or maybe its a Carter? Your front wheels are not Manco which has me thinking Carter, but it is definitely a yard/fun kart not prime for anything but that.

(see below post on why I am now thinking it may be a sears chassis.)
