    Briggs 3hp build questions

    I will. I have a few 3hp, and I think 1 3.5hp that could all be test subjects. The flywheel will fit them all after all. I really want to get at least 6hp and 8000rpm out of it.

    Briggs 3hp build questions

    Nope, not an option. I already decided to do it, it's getting done. The more people say I shouldn't, the more I want to.

    Briggs 3hp build questions

    Here's what the assembly looks like. Not mine, just one I found on the enternet. That steel triangle on the end is what I am looking to upgrade. The rest of the rod is aluminum and can be polished pretty easily. Polishing it should remove all sharp edges and stress points and make any power...

    Briggs 3hp build questions

    That's exactly why I want to try. What's the worst that happens? I have a flywheel that will bolt to my 5hp and a blown up 3hp that I spent a few hours porting and polishing? I think it's worth a shot if I don't spend too much trying to get a con rod. I'll probably have to weld some block...

    Briggs 3hp build questions

    Alright, I'm looking into building a 3hp up to maybe 6 or 8 hp. Yes I know that's stupid and is gonna be expensive, but I don't care. I've set my mind to it, I'm going to do it. This build is however another year down the road, I'm just getting ideas stirred up. I can find an aluminum flywheel...

    Dual sport tires?

    Don't get me wrong, I love the V treads I have on my mini bike, but I'm gonna have it on the pavement alot more than I used to, and pavement wears those V treads fast (I have them on my fourwheeler and I've ridden it on the road alot, and it wears those treads stupid fast). I was wondering if...

    Got her back!!!

    Once I get her out of the trailer today I'll post a few beauty shots next to the pond. I still gotta get my new shop cleaned up and a work bench built before I can get her running properly, but at least I have her back

    Got her back!!!

    Welp, I have been really busy getting the house over in Oregon ready to sell, and now getting this house in Kentucky in livable shape (not a ton of work, next is the well filtration system replacement). But now that I'm over here in Kentucky I was able to get my bike back. I sold her to my...

    Axle strength

    Thanks! I plan to eventually buy a cheap 4x4 fourwheeler for parts and use the front independent suspension for rear suspension on it, so I don't need the axle to last forever, just long enough for me to find what I want.

    Axle strength

    So I'm thinking of putting my 459cc predator on my go kart. The thing has one of the octagon dingo style axles. I don't plan to stick with this setup, but I was wondering how long you guys think it would last. Thanks!

    It's been too long.

    I haven't been able to anything with any of my projects anytime recently since I've been getting everything in the house packed up and ready to move. I had to downsize a lot. I ended up giving my full suspension buggy away to a guy who wanted it to build with his 4 young boys. I'm glad it went...

    New auto darkening helmet opinions wanted

    When I used the Chicago Electric helmet it worked good until it didn't. After about a year of almost daily use it quit auto darkening. I tried letting it solar charge for a while, but it just stopped working.
