    Briggs 5Hp L Head Build Thread!!!

    Started pulling parts off today to prep for paint, what I did was bought some paint stripper in a spray can and that really helped get most of the paint off. I would spray the stripper on let it sit for about 5 mins and then take it to the parts washer to clean it off, if you don't have access...

    Briggs 5Hp L Head Build Thread!!!

    So I started busting this thing apart and when I got the carburetor off I sprayed some cleaner down the longer pickup tube and notice I had a crack in the upper metal portion. So I found out today that you can only purchase the plastic part with the screen, the metal part is not available. So I...

    Here is some photos showing the state it's in. Like I said for being 40 years old to me it's in fabulous shape, sure there is some carbon build up but looks to me like it was kept in very good shape and always maintained. Tomorrow I'm going to start dismantling this baby and strip it down to...

    Briggs 5Hp L Head Build Thread!!!

    I've decided to do a mild build on a 130202-0523-01 Briggs that I got from my uncle that was just sitting in the shed. My little boy has begged me for 2 years now wanting a minibike so I thought now is the perfect time to do it. The engine is in great shape just a little surface rust on the...

    Hellion thank you so much for the help and it did get me worried a little about not having the dual bearings. But this will be a learning curve for me and just something I want to have fun with. I will be starting my build thread soon just to show my way through it and hopefully gain a good bit...

    No mine is just bushings no bearing here. I do have a question about some things I've read to help with not having bearings. I hear that people have drilled a small hole in the crankcase around the bushing area. Do yall know exactly where they are drilling this hole and how big?

    Hellion the engine that lee majors did is basically the same thing I'm going to do with mine and his is the same block is mine with the kool bore cylinder. Do really think this block will not hold up to what I'm doing.

    Well I guess that's bad news for me so my block is not going to hold up to what I'm doing. I've seen a few others that built these same blocks with mild mods and did ok. I'm not trying to build a race engine at all. I just wanted a little more umph out of it without going to crazy.

    Ok this is my first post so be easy on me, anyway I have a 130202 that I am building with a few upgrades. I'll be port and polishing shaving the eyebrows, billet rod, 94-ss cam and a billet flywheel. I'm afraid that my stock pulsa jet carb will not handle the few upgrades I'm doing. I have been...
