Made time today to play with the build, so from nights of reading i found out that you can basically convert a non bearing block to atleast have a bearing on the pto side to help out with the mild mods you're doing. Hellion pointed out that my crank was to small to accept a clutch so i went to...

I guess when i say restore it im talking about sandi g down repainting everything and changing old hardware. Alot of pics coming this week but good news is that my cranksfaft will fit the bearing and it fits in the side cover so yes you can partially convert a plain block so that it has a...

I decided to buy a doodlebug i found on ebay, its in decent shape but my instinct is to fully restore it. Good thing about it is the raptor 3 that comes with it, so now dad has a motor to build. Crazy since I've started this hobbie things are starting to accumulate at a fast pace but ill enjoy...

when everything else fails buy a drill and tap, you can use the same size

My question is did it break with you trying to remove it or trying to tighten it.

Hopefully someone can give me some help but take a look at the pics of the crankshaft and bearing and tell me if that looks like it will work. To me once the bearing is pressed against the crank gear there is to much of the bug part of the shaft sticking out. Im waiting on the larger sump cover...

Things haven't been moving like I want them to because of life but hopefully I can finish up all the painting this week other than the new sump cover im waiting on. Anyway has anyone ever heard of bad dog mini bikes, they are kits that you can buy like the Azusa but to me they look to be of...

Thanks hellion i see a couple for sale, but hey i want make that mistake again lol

So me not knowing alot about these engine's is making me spend more money than i should, so i bought a new crank and side cover with bearing, well the bearing is to small and so the cover does me no good either so i guess what i need is the newer style large bearing and side cover. The cover...

Does anyone have ideas on the best route to go for a mini bike to mount this engine to. I see the AZUSA kits you can buy but I just don't know if the quality is any good, I've also seen the Taco 22 mini bike kits on the Taco website. Or would I be better off trying to find an old vintage rupp...

Hellion does that coil you showed have the tab for the air deflector, and not to jack your thread but is the air deflector really even needed?

Yeah it really don't even need honed but I'm gonna go lightly on it.

I'm lonely in here no more talking but that's fine I'm gonna keep on ramblin anyway. So I finally got the block clean enough that paint should stick and I ended up sand blasting on low pressure and it did a fantastic job in my opinion, I bought some aluminum tape that the AC guys use and taped...

So I got around to doing a little work today on the ol engine. I deleted the governor from the block and once I removed the governor arm from the block I took a 1/4-20 tap and tapped threads for a bolt, I applied high temp teflon pretty thick and tightened it down and I think that should do the...

Hellion it is 2 1/4" long and the clutch I have fits but its tight.

Made time to finish removing everything from the block and from the looks of everything it looks to be in very good shape. The crank and bushings are nice and smooth and piston doesn't look to bad either. Overall these engine's are simple to work on. Take alot of pictures while disassembling...

Very good advice kartfab and hellion I will edit my first post and start a list of everything going into the moter as with tools i used.

What is really busting my butt is these performance parts that's where all the money goes

Here is pics of some of the parts I've received and the part numbers. I searched Ebay and found the best prices for new old stock items that do the same thing as a brand new part and who don't like saving money. Intake and exhaust valves Standard ring set Complete gasket set

For anyone that will be doing work on these ol Briggs or rebuilding them here is pics and descriptions. I have to say these tools will save time and make your job alot smoother. Stens Flywheel puller Part# 750-091 Briggs Valve Springs Compressor Part # 19063 Briggs Starter Clutch Remover Part #...
