Briggs Kart

Heh hopefully a bit more than that.

 

[Jerryburger]

Most definitly no longer a Manco! Looks really neat! Can't wait to see this one when it's done. (Are we ever truly done with projects like this?!)

 

[newrider3]

Thanks. Yeah, it seems like you're never close to finishing. I started the seat mounts yesterday, and ran out of welding wire. I think I just need to suck it up and shell out the cash for some parts.

 

[newrider3]

Got the rest of my engine parts. All thats left now is machining and assembly.

And yes, there is more billet there.

Looks like it's coming along good! Let's have a race when ya done

Got the rest of my engine parts. All thats left now is machining and assembly.

K&N Clone air filter with outerwear, valve spring compressor, indexing copper washers, 4x Autolite spark plugs, coil adaptor for the 3/3.5HP flywheel, billet black head brace, n' the rest I can't tell...

 

[newrider3]

Nice. The rest is head bolts, allen headed carb bolts, filter spray, cut down allen wrench, billet tank support, and a kick *** sticker.

 

[oscaryu1]

Nice! I'd like to see how that tank support works out.

Ain't that the truth!

I just want to see how much power the sticker gives you! :arf:

 

[newrider3]

Not as much power as the Dyno sticker on the side of the blower housing.:arf:
Polished the head, and lapped the gasket surface. 40 year old carbon being sanded smells like *** fyi. Do you think it would be alright to use sealant instead of a gasket as long as the valves don't touch?

Made the header brace today too.

 

[oscaryu1]

Looks like it's coming together very nice!

Sealant is fine. Valves shouldn't touch as long as you're not using a huge lift cam of some sort.

That's a hecka nice looking block too!

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

You want a gasket, more flow.

 

[newrider3]

Finally got the seat mounts welded in.

 

[newrider3]

Got the bumper attached, and picked up some front tires.

 

[GoAlterBridge]

That kart's coming along great, good job! I recently replaced the gasket on my Tecumseh with some gasket maker, and the engine has much more power than it ever did before. I think you should definitely go with the sealant. Keep us updated just like you have been!

 

[newrider3]

Thanks! How's your vintage kart project going?

 

[newrider3]

Fabbed up the support structure for the front a arms.

 

[newrider3]

Almost forgot to mention that a friend is hooking me up with a surprise, you'll see that later.

 

[newrider3]

Here it is. YZ250 with a bad top end, and there is rust making the crank seize. Should just be a matter of splitting the cases, cleaning the crap out of it, then figuring out how to mount it. This gives me a 5 speed and hopefully a charging system.
