    Tuned muffler replacement for Briggs and Stratton 5HP engine

    Thanks Diesel! I'm finally getting my lower front fork tubes powder coated gloss black this week. I made numerous failed attempts at rattle canning and it was a nightmare. Not worth the time and money I spent. Once I get the fork tubes back I can do 95% of the mods to the Brat Tracker: • Attach...

    Tuned muffler replacement for Briggs and Stratton 5HP engine

    Yeah, I saw those pipe, but I guess I was thrown off, because I have two "posts" that look like they were once threaded but almost gone. (see picture below). You think it's possible that I can remove these and replace them? Of course I would heat them up first and try some vice grips. If they...

    Tuned muffler replacement for Briggs and Stratton 5HP engine

    Hi Fire, Thanks for the post. Sorry again, did not mean to rag. Anyway, I just need a little more noise but a bellow type of noise. Can you elaborate or send links to the parts for the exhaust? I was looking at taking the governor out, but was concerned it might damage the engine. I would be...

    Tuned muffler replacement for Briggs and Stratton 5HP engine

    You're kidding right? A K&N Pod costs like $20 (maybe), a jet is $10. I have these on 3 '72 CB500 Honda bikes. They really move because of it. BIG difference. More airflow, more HP. Please, if you could stay on topic. I'm here for input and sharing, not skepticism. Thanks! John

    Tuned muffler replacement for Briggs and Stratton 5HP engine

    Hi Fabro, Thank you for the input! Please see pictures attached. So if I knock out that little sheet metal disk with a long flat head screw driver, this will make the muffler louder or "throaty"? It was just be cool if my son could feel like the kart was souped up. I also included a picture of...

    Tuned muffler replacement for Briggs and Stratton 5HP engine

    Is there a louder or more tuned muffler for a Briggs and Stratton 5HP Model 130202? I want to replace the stock muffler with something a little more throaty (cool sounding). Any links would be greatly appreciated. The cylinder-shaped muffler screws in the engine. This engine is for a Rupp D300...

    Very rare 1962 Lightning Bug go kart frame

    Hi Ace, I did use my real full name and I never got the email that says I can get in. I even had my brother-in-law try to sign up under his name and he gets nothing... no email. Do you know any admins there? This is really frustrating. And yes, I am more than computer literate. :) Thanks! John

    Hi Landuse, I have been DYING to get into that forum. I have been trying for 4 weeks now and NOBODY gets back to me... EVER.

    Any places make stainless steel tie-rods for vintage Rupp?

    I have a late 70's Rupp D300 (same design as the A-Bone). Does anybody know a company that makes/sells stainless steel tie rods for vintage karts? Thanks! John
