You could put a restrictor plate in between the block and carb to reduce power. That's what the WKA ( world karting association ) did for the 5 hp briggs in the kid's classes. ( iirc , .425 for up to 8 or 10 years old and .575 for up to 12 years old )
im not building a full cage, just a hoop behind the seat like this one.
