got the motor done and it runs good. idles ok with the clutch on it. one inch thick aluminum carb spacer and a half inch thick exhaust adapter. running the stock duraforce muffler for now. i cleaned up the ports and opened them up a bit on the short side turn. made some mounts from 1 1/8 square...

you can change the jets to run it on gas most likely. even a new carb would be easier and cheaper probably. you never said what carb was on it. got a pic of it?

since your so broken up about the deal, i'll give you a buck fifty for it and you can give the25 bucks to your cousin

i may run a small line to the valve area from the screw in galley plug, not sure its necessary yet. i will make an area above the main bearing on the pto side to collect more oil, there will be plenty of splashing going on to fill it. i made a intake adapter/riser out of some two inch aluminum i...

i'm converting a tecumseh 6.75 horsepower vertical flathead from a craftsman mower to horizontal. it has an oil pump so it is ideal i think. i started to talk about this in my build thread for my kart but figured i'd start a motor thread since its always talked about. I opened it up to see...

i'm working on a couple karts right now, just remembered i have an old five horse briggs I/C flathead a couple days ago.gonna use it on my margay for the time being. i've done some research. the raptor is a 5 horse briggs I/C with some go fast stuff from the factory. raptor 1 was just a decent...

whats up with the motor on it? if your a machinist and thats a raptor build that. more reliable than a clone IMO(and you already have it). with that girdle on it,its probably worked up pretty good already. may just need a rebuild.

unless it went boom and that's why its sittin! :popcorn: pretty good performance part availability.

is that a briggs 5 horse/raptor motor? with a head girdle too! should be some good stuff in there!

that thing moves good once it gets up on the pipe! it should be terrifying(:wai:) with some higher ratio sprockets! you could run some smaller diameter front tires on the rear to raise the final drive ratio, if you have a half inch extra clearance. i don't have experience with direct drive...

old toyotas are either nice and expensive or useless rusted hulks over in the US.

my friends super wheels had the single upright steering too. one bearing came apart trying to get it out so i welded a washer that fit good to the inside of the outer bearing race. a couple good whacks from the other side and it came out. i also used a piece of 3/4 inch steel conduit over the...

i just restored an old carter brothers super wheel and it has many of the same features, live axle in a tube, adjustable seat and the side bars. same steering wheel mount too. if its a 4 3/4 inch drum brake and 3/4 inch axle that would be my best guess. only carter used the 4 3/4 drum i think...

learn something new every day. i use the sheet stuff too. i need it get one of those multi size hole punches. holes are a pain. sorry for wandering off topic.

you guys really use plain cardboard for gaskets(intake ect.)? are you f!@#$& serious?

i hit a snag with the duraforce, it needs bearings. after a run on the stand i noticed some scrapes on the flywheel and found some play in the flywheel end bearings. i can get new ones pressed on but haven't had it apart to know the exact size,russ do you know? anyway, i just finished a...

no. whoops.

get a dirt bike front brake caliper and master. fronts are bigger. you can find them on ebay cheap together. you'll have to do some fab work but you'll save cash.

could be a really chopped up margay, steering support and front bumper look the part but not much else i can see looks factory. more pics would help.
