I tried the links to part providers on 1st page here, no luck.
Then I did a search on "go kart engine chain adjuster"; lots of similar devices.

Need to find one with similar geometry.
I also think the side-side motion stability is important, so it should nestle same way.
If not sized, then with bushings.

google search

This one seems leading candidate
Kandi Engine Adjuster Assembly for 150cc and 200cc GoKart

I sent him the below:
Hi - My 2015 Tao Tao 150cc buggy just broke it's chain tensioner.
I'm looking for dimensions on yours, do you have a spec sheet? I could not see it.
I want to make sure the bushing portion fits between mine, if needed I'll put washers or loose bushing so no slack.
My bushing is 65mm / 2 9/16" wide, 25 mm / 1" dia.
Also, what size bolt goes thru that bushing, mine measure 7.79mm / 5/16" outside thread?
And Whats the chain tensioner thread size, mine measure 15.89mm / 5/8" outside thread .
Overall length is 124mm / 4.9" from centerline of bushing to top of big adj bolt.
