    Briggs 208cc 950 series opened back up...round two

    Ok, so I've been talking about it. And I did. Some of you remember the first thread I did on this thing. I think it's a few pages deep now and it's closed due to age. I was going to put it on a mini chopper frame but the more I fiddled with that frame the less I trust it. So I put it on an old...

    Performance cam in a governed engine.

    Just a question of curiosity. Has anyone out there ever put a performance cam in a governed engine? Nothing radical or high lift or anything like that. I was just curious. Actually I ordered the wrong one by mistake and was considering putting it in the kart I lend others to ride. It has a...

    generic homemade exhaust pipe questions

    All right guys. It's my turn to ask some of you guys some questions. Primarily to some of you guys that do a lot of your own fabricating. And I've seen some of the work some of y'all have done and it has been outstanding with the homemade frames and tube bending and what not. I normally just...

    Anyone else go for a ride tonight?

    Was finally a nice cool night out... So some strange feeling hit me as the sun was going down... I was standing in the backyard staring at my neglected Murray Explorer wondering if the thing would start up. I normally crank all my engines at least once every other week. But the triple digit...

    Derailleur deLuxe

    While some people foolishly foam at the mouth for a Briggs these things have been out of production for years. In my location salvage parts are scarce at best and always overpriced, especially if someone is looking for oem fuel parts like a fuel tank carb combo. You can spend lots of money and...

    Who wanted this governor flyweights?

    I can't remember what thread we were discussing this in but someone had made mention about wanting a governor with weights intact and in good condition for testing purposes. Well I managed to carefully remove it without any damage to the part if you think you still want it. Just pm me your...

    My next engine project...Briggs OHV

    :cheers2:All right! This one came to me on a Kart I picked up some time back. I promptly removed it and replaced it with a predator 212. I am guessing this is a Briggs and Stratton OHV but I have no idea what the displacement is or anything else about the engine. It is completely trashed. No...

    Magna Force Pro Force 163 CC Engine

    Ok I have a few questions about this engine. Magna Force Pro Force 163 CC Engine Does anyone have any information about this thing other than the obvious being it is a 163CC OHV engine? I bought it from a guy off FB Market place for 10 bucks. He said he replaced the carb but then he thought...

    Another Streaker, for now I will call it the Beach Bumb

    So the Beach Bumb has a story too. But right now I want to make it move. First things first. The axle needs work. The sprocket is toast. What a bear to take off. I'm doing this right now. It's 87 degrees out there and I had to grind paint and rust. Luckily only the sprocket was stuck. I...

    Positive ID on the Beast aka Killer...add this to Streaker database

    And without further ado.... And no more guessing... With some delicate paint removal I give you this... What we need is a Streaker database since these things are hard to ID. This is the one I am restoring...kinda.. Wes...

    Couple questions, pedals and steering

    I've been working on the Streaker. I have a thread going on the other page but I have a couple questions or ideas I need confirmation on. Both pedals had a lot of wear and slop. When I pulled them off the kart I discovered the bolts were welded to the pedals. Was this how these things came from...

    Working on the Streaker (the Beast aka Killer)

    Alright, it's been a good six weeks since I rolled the Beast and burnt my arm and now I am mostly healed enough to get back to it so... Oh yea...before I forget. The crash is why I started calling it killer. I usually let other people ride my karts and I often offer them up to the local kids...

    Does anyone know what tubing the Streaker karts were built from

    Hi, I have a Streaker Sand dog. And I want to build a cage for it. I'd like to build it somewhat like what the thing came with as far as material is concerned but I have no idea what kind of tubing or pipe the streaker kart was built from. Does anyone have any idea?

    Y'all be safe out there...latest crash left me with serious burns

    The title says it all. Was riding the streaker kart this past Saturday evening after doing some work on the thing and flipped it. Long story short I evaded most of the road rash but got twisted up in the exhaust system somehow. It burned through my shirt and I received 2nd and 3rd degree burns...

    What lube in a streaker differential?

    Title says it all...I would assume some sort of wheel bearing grease since there's no way to service it without taking it apart. Anyone?
