I have a chance to trade some tools for a minibike that has a tecumseh 6.5hp with a torq-a-verter. will the torq-a-verter fit on my 5hp briggs ? also, how do I know which belt to get (it doesn't have one) ???

so I need to put the points back on it then.... dang it!!! why do I always do stuff before asking ? how do the points work ? there is one wire coming off of them, but where is it suppose to go ? I'm not even sure how they go back on...

I think I will just stick to the cast iron then. I just tried to start the engine with the aluminum one and it didn't go so well. another thing that could be a problem with it now though is that i removed the points and wasn't sure if all I needed to do to bypass whatever it is that they do is...

I think that's it. Unless you would consider a unifilter and a 12" black iron pipe nipple for the header a mod. it's pretty fast though anyhow... it's surprised me the first time I got on it. what would it help if anything ? and why would any mods make a difference ? is the aluminum less likely...

would other mods include removing the governor ? that's all I've done. would the aluminum one make it run any faster ?

I really don't know what that means. Also, is Comet the only company that makes these things ?

I have an aluminum flywheel that I took off of a lawnmower and it it much lighter than the cast iron one that I have and fits perfectly on my 5hp Briggs. My question is, should this work okay and is it safe ? What should be the outcome ???

I want to get one of these, but they seem to be all out of my budget. How much do these things actually help overall ? Are there any cons ? If the responses make it seem worth it then I'll keep an eye on eBay til I find a great deal. Also, what's the difference in 40 series and 30 series ? Are...

pic of my other motor here's the motor on my other kart that I finally finished. I never realized how much fun messing with these things could be.

I'll try that this evening.... and I'll make sure to use minimal heat so I don't melt the seal. Glad you mentioned that Tyler or I would have melted it for sure. :arf:

now if I can just get the stupid tiller pulley off of the shaft!!! !grrr, this gets aggrivating. I tried a gear puller with no luck and the hex screw in the side is stripped. any suggestions ? also, I haven't looked at the numbers on the orange otor yet, but just just by looking at it, could...

here's the pics of my $40. kart and engines. the first and second is the kart and the good tiller motor. the third is the motor that was on it, but is apparently worn out...

I'll post pics either tonight or tomorrow. It needs a little work, but I got the kart with good wheels and band brakes, and two 5hp Briggs motors (one with a cent. clutch). One needs a diaphram and the other it suppose to be worn out. If it is worn out, at least I have a parts motor now. Lord...

I just have a 12 black iron pipe nipple and it sounds pretty deep and loud... kind of like glass packs on a go kart. when you're on it or near it, you can't really tell, but when someone else was on it going down the road was when I realized how good it sounds.

Here is the website of the place that sells them... http://partsdart.com/?lbp=1 here's their phone, fax, and address... (205) 631-4705 (ask for Dennis) (205) 631-8549 (fax) 2816 Mount Olive Road # Centre, Mount Olive, AL 35117 I'm sure they'll ship them wherever as long as you pay shipping...
