so im a stupid teenager who has a silverado with a 4.8 v8 in it, and who has just acquired some money recently from a job. ive figured out that i can get a good deal more HP from it if i do a cam swap, maybe take one from a 'vette motor off ebay or something, cause theyre interchangable. its...

oh, and i might just be able to get my hands on a 4 hp subaru robin motor, i was working with my friend and his dad on their monster trucks, "illuminator" and "screamin demon" and he has a little scooter with it on it he doesnt want.

toystory - im in maryland, a pretty good distance away from ontario. bluethunder - I took the three scrwes out on the top, and had the same issue you did. all i did was pull a bit harder though, and it came apart, nothing broke (astonishingly). i had an old Puch moped that did the same thing...

that could be it. i really havent checked the gaskets there, maybe ill replace them before doing anything else.

hey all, i got an 8 hp briggs motor this weekend for free. it hadnt been started in like 10 years, and i got it running. it runs weird though, and i need help on tips of how to adjust it. so it doesnt have a pullstart, and theres no electric start, for now ive managed with a socket attachment...

^ wow thats cheap enough hahaha

that sounds good. i think ill get one when the money happens, do they have carbs on ebay with them or what? im not really concerned about the exhaust cause i can make that.

yes i know, im not arguing with that. do these things not ship with an exhaust or carb?

Sorry to confuse you, but I was just commenting on the previous oil quality statement. I was just noting that the power horse is made in china and was also shipped with very low quality thin oil. For the 8 liters, I was talking about the lifan engine, on the eBay page I have a link to it says...

yeah, i did the same with the powerhorse motor i got from northerntool, it had some really thin oil shipped in it, and just for fun, i put synthetic mobil 1 in it...but i looked at the lifan specs...could it possibly take 8 liters (over 2 gallons) of oil as it says? thats considerably more than...

wow, i completely forgot about posting this. i cant really tell from the description, but does this thing have a neutral gear? im assuming it does...cause thatd be sweet if i just had to bolt it on and put a chain from it to the axle...

i was shopping around for engines and i found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360197212940&viewitem=#ht_10099wt_1167 it looks like itd be relatively easy to mount and it claims to have a LOT of power...

cool, thanks!

alright, ill call it a live axle from now on. it wouldnt need to go too fast, the last time i had it running i could get it to like 30 or 35 off the powerhorse 6 hp motor i have, with 11" tires, and a 5:1 ratio. it had plenty of torque, and you could spin the wheel but it was 1 wheel drive...

Sorry I mistyped, I should have said "no differential and no one wheel drive" cause obviously it's more fun with a solid axle. I've had a 1 wheel drive centrifugal setup before and it worked great, but now I'm wanting 2wd cause drifting is fun. I'm just asking if the clutch would be able to...

http://www.harborfreight.com/engines-generators/gas-engines/11-hp-ohv-horizontal-shaft-gas-engine-66524.html i meant 11 hp. this is the motor in question.

so ive come up with the $ to get my other kart running, and ive decided to go with a centrifugal clutch rather than a TC cause its an on-road one with bald, racing tires, and it doesnt need much torque. plus, the TC's are way too expensive now. so i'm looking at the harbor freight 13 HP motor...

actually my friends vw is longitudinal mounted but its front wheel drive. i dunno why.

yeah, im saying if you do it improperly. there are like 5 different ways of filtering it, and i love how versatile diesel engines are with what they can run on. rudolf diesel intended for them to run on peanut oil, but oil was booming so nobody did it. yeah, i dunno. after watching my friend...
