so im a stupid teenager who has a silverado with a 4.8 v8 in it, and who has just acquired some money recently from a job. ive figured out that i can get a good deal more HP from it if i do a cam swap, maybe take one from a 'vette motor off ebay or something, cause theyre interchangable. its...

oh, and i might just be able to get my hands on a 4 hp subaru robin motor, i was working with my friend and his dad on their monster trucks, "illuminator" and "screamin demon" and he has a little scooter with it on it he doesnt want.

toystory - im in maryland, a pretty good distance away from ontario. bluethunder - I took the three scrwes out on the top, and had the same issue you did. all i did was pull a bit harder though, and it came apart, nothing broke (astonishingly). i had an old Puch moped that did the same thing...

that could be it. i really havent checked the gaskets there, maybe ill replace them before doing anything else.

hey all, i got an 8 hp briggs motor this weekend for free. it hadnt been started in like 10 years, and i got it running. it runs weird though, and i need help on tips of how to adjust it. so it doesnt have a pullstart, and theres no electric start, for now ive managed with a socket attachment...

^ wow thats cheap enough hahaha

that sounds good. i think ill get one when the money happens, do they have carbs on ebay with them or what? im not really concerned about the exhaust cause i can make that.

yes i know, im not arguing with that. do these things not ship with an exhaust or carb?

Sorry to confuse you, but I was just commenting on the previous oil quality statement. I was just noting that the power horse is made in china and was also shipped with very low quality thin oil. For the 8 liters, I was talking about the lifan engine, on the eBay page I have a link to it says...

yeah, i did the same with the powerhorse motor i got from northerntool, it had some really thin oil shipped in it, and just for fun, i put synthetic mobil 1 in it...but i looked at the lifan specs...could it possibly take 8 liters (over 2 gallons) of oil as it says? thats considerably more than...

wow, i completely forgot about posting this. i cant really tell from the description, but does this thing have a neutral gear? im assuming it does...cause thatd be sweet if i just had to bolt it on and put a chain from it to the axle...

i was shopping around for engines and i found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360197212940&viewitem=#ht_10099wt_1167 it looks like itd be relatively easy to mount and it claims to have a LOT of power...

cool, thanks!

alright, ill call it a live axle from now on. it wouldnt need to go too fast, the last time i had it running i could get it to like 30 or 35 off the powerhorse 6 hp motor i have, with 11" tires, and a 5:1 ratio. it had plenty of torque, and you could spin the wheel but it was 1 wheel drive...
