Their is one fairly basic way to modify a vertical shaft to a horizontal.

Since most motors (except two strokes) are only designed for vertical, they normally can handle being on their sides, so you have to do several modifications.

The gas tank and carb need to be rotated 90 degrees so they still operate.

You need to get lubrication to the crank, con rod, and piston.

I would do this by bolting a scoop to the con rod via the same bolts, made of moderate gauge sheet metal. Be sure t check the clearances so the scoop doesn't hit the sidewalls of the crank case and the timing gear/camshaft. If contact occurs you may end up having to junk the whole motor.

A push-type lawn mower does not normally have a chain. Dunno that you might want to use that type of engine to make a motorbike as the engine has a vertical shaft. You would need something to convert the vertical force to horizontal force to drive the gear on the motorbike.
