I was thinking use the clones too. Ill just freshen the briggs up. I was wanting it to be a flathead but it turned out to be ohv when i went and got it so o well

Naw i dont race in a class. Its just for fun

Scored a free briggs 5.5hp OHV engine today. I guess its time to start the racing mower build. Question is, do i use the briggs or one of the two clones i have laying around? Or maybe find a twin cylinder four stroke bike engine and make it absolutely scary haha.

Surely a used motorcycle tank in good shape will work just fine if i dont splurge on a new one

Ah im not sure. How much horsepower can either the clutch or tq converter take? Is there a certain point where the torque converter will be over powered by the motor? Itll be fully built at some point in the future. The replacement real tank isnt an issue. Ill just save up and go for it. Ive...

We ride mostly in the back yard and her subdivision streets, but we're gonna take them to some local trails once we get them ready to go. Ive got one running pretty good. The other one had the black plastic spacer cracked in two (probly some he-man torqued it down way too tight) so ive gotta...

Picked up these two beauties last night. Super fun. Gonna build up my motor a little and make it scream. (No im not putting a motorcycle engine on it, im playing with the clone) i plan on doing one part at a time and seeing what kind of difference it makes. Also plan on painting mine a red color...

I think im gonna offer $175 max. Id honestly rather have something that needs work. To me, theres no point in buying one brand new, then there will be less for me to do. I may pick up the $70 frame as well for $50ish.

Id say its running a clutch only. Im thinking a restoration project, pep it up some, and smaller tires

Also should i bother with this? They're asking $70

What should i pay for this realistically?? They're asking $275. Say it needs the carb rebuilt, lines flushed, and a seat. Thinking i may go with a clone instead

Ok that makes sense. In that case, i think im just gonna go with a clone thatll be hopped up a little and change gearing to fit what i want. I think id be happier with that. I dont want anything crazy because im not racing or trying to build some totally crazy kart. Maybe i can enter mine in...

And would you go 2 stroke or four stroke? Possibly going crf 125

Are there the same type of performance mods available for the dirtbike engines as they do for the honda clone engines?

That would be maximum lol. So would you do a 125 dirtbike engine? Or just build a clone. Either way, im probly gonna pep the motor up some
