An old motorcycle pump may work? I know that for cars there are electric performance pumps but they cost a pretty penny. Performance radiators are the most effective way of reducing heat, that's why everyone's recommending them. I'm unsure if snowmobile engines are any different than an engine...

3kW at 60 volts is still 50 amps, you're going to need a massive transformer for that and the wire going to the motor would have to be at least 8 gauge. As for the AC voltage needed on the secondary of the transformer, AC is measured by RMS so if a full wave rectifier is used the DC voltage...

A winch needs at least several hundred or over a thousand watts to run, there's plenty of ways to step wall power down and rectify it to DC. I think a warning may be in order, 62 volts is enough voltage to at least cause a painful shock and at most cardiac arrest so be careful, never work with...

It's all about density altitude, a higher density altitude will make one setup richer, lower will lean it out. Cold temperatures, low humidity, and high barometric pressure make low density altitudes. Warmer Temps, high humidity, and lower pressure makes high density altitudes. The whole...

Billet rod and flywheel are being shipped right now along with legitiment valve springs, the "stiffer" valve springs aren't really much stiffer. I've taken it up to valve float to get the top speed, 43 MPH with a 10 tooth clutch, 40 tooth axle, and 11 inch tall wheel/tire, so I'm hitting valve...

Alright so since I'm a new member here I'll give a little back story on how I wound up here. Back when I was around 11 a friend and I co-owned a gokart meaning I supplied the engine and he had a frame, it was an ungoverened 8 HP Briggs on a 120-ish pound frame, needless to say I'm suprised we...

Not sure if it would really be fair at all, but porting and polishing the head is a pretty good power increase, if thats too much of a mod, then cut every intake gasket back out of the airflow, gap and index the spark plug, cut some fins off the flywheel fan, just any little thing you can think...
