well, any alternator wil work, go to autozone or oriley's aout parts or any place like that, and buy a resonable alternator
then runa belt from the alternator and put it on the torque converter, and that wraps it up  |

If you are trying to get an alternator that will power the lights and other 12 volt items without getting the dimming problem while it is at idle then go to a lawnmower repair shop and ask them for a larger output alternator for that engine and replace the one that is on it now. I have never heard of putting a car alternator on an industrial engine. You could do it but it will require a seperate pulley on the crank shaft right or left depending on how you set it up. you then would need to make a bracket up to hold the alternator and be sure it is adjustable. I think the idea of just changing the current alt to a more powerful one is the way to go.

I'm with Areblder on this one. It'll be much simpler and probably cheaper to upgrade using OEM parts. Check with a local mower shop they should be able to hook you up. Besides a typical automotive alternator requires 2 to 5 horse power depending on load. That wouldn't leave much to power the kart.
