so most of us have probably seen a cam drive engine before, but i found this one interesting this is a briggs 138462-0145-B1 with a 2-1 reduction built in, but on most engines with a cam drive, the cam drive spins backwards to provide a reverse gear or somthing like that, what brigs has done is...

hey guys we've all seen engines that say 4 cycle or 2cycle, but shouldn't it be 4 stroke or 2 stroke because one cycle is like intake compression ignition power exaust right? what do you think it should be stroke or cycle?

im fixing a golf kart for someone and we think it has a sheered flywheel key because its backfiring out of the carb and not starting. but how would that happen because there's a cvt and things like that so how would you shear the key if there's no hard stops on the engine itself if you know what...

hey guys so i picked up some stuff from a friend of my dad, and in the pile was a seized homelite chainsaw, the blue one. so i get home and pull the exaust as you do and there's a bolt stuck in-between the exaust port and the piston. so i take it out but there is a small divit in the piston...

so i built a compressed air engine(could be powered by steam) and well see how this progresses. i modified the cam with a mig welder but i did it worn it works but the valves end up opening at the same time on one stroke and then there's compression on the next so ill need to fix that. i also...

so i had an idea another way to use a vert shaft engine. could i use a rototiller transmission and stuff to have a fnr box and a live axle for cheap? i don't know if i would ever use this idea but i just wonder if it would work because some rototillers have fnr and are a vertical shaft. what do...

hey guys, I have been working on a moped scooter thingy for a friend of mine. it had an interesting problem. she asked my if I would be able to take a look at it and I said sure. she had stated that it had " just stopped running" while she was riding. and then it had been sitting in her...

he guys, the other day in chemistry we performed electrolysis and it said in the book that the resulting gases were hydrogen and oxygen. so I made my own larger version out of a soda bottle and some screws. it worked well enough that it almost exploded the bottle when lit and that was only...

I have wondered for a long time what would happen if you dove one tc off the output of another. I was recently reminded of this question when reading the thread "Parallel Torque Converters?". I was thinking maybe you would have an extra low and high range. what are your thoughts?
