After a few breakdowns far away from home, I've decided to put together a portable tool kit. I figure I'll have some sockets, screwdrivers, but any other suggestions?

am I at risk to throw a rod if i remove the governor but leave stock valve springs? I'm hoping the valve float will limit enough so nothing flies out of the crankcase and kills me.

Does anyone know if a 8hp tecumeh carb will work on a 5hp engine instead of doing a rejet after an intake and exhaust upgrade?

Can anyone tell me what the 356 indicates? Its built for an ohh55 engine, but i think i heard somewhere that ohh50, ohh55 and ohh60 share a camshaft. Can anyone confirm this?

on my OHH50 tecumseh, oil seems to leak onto the crankshaft, and spatters everywhere when I run the engine. i just replaced the crankcase gasket. could it be residual oil from changing the gasket left on the crankshaft, or do i need to replace whatever sealing parts there are?

I'm trying to fit a cone filter onto my tecumseh engine, but theres no logical place on the carb to fit it. Is there any sort of adapter i can buy or do I just have to make a part?

This is an old Invader that I picked up for $100. It has a 5hp tecumseh and a 5:1 gearing. It had a little frame damage to the bumper up front, but it doesn't seem to affect the steering at all. So far I've replaced the sprocket, sprocket hub, and chain, rebuilt the carb, replaced both back...

anybody want to explain why heavier valve springs are better?

I've got a 5hp tecumseh on my kart that I can hit 35 mph with. I have a 5:1 gear ratio (12 on the clutch, 60 on the sprocket) my wheels are 10.5" total diameter (wheels and tires) and doing some basic math, at 35 mph this means the engine speed is about 5500 rpm. I'm pretty sure my engine is...
