My tote goat is a homemade one, but has a 5.5HP OHV B&S motor that was purchased last year. It doesn't go very fast, I can almost outrun it by running beside of it.
The motor has a side mount shaft with a pulley bolted to it, a belt runs from that pulley to the rear axle on the left side, on the right side of the rear axle is a small gear with a chain that goes back to the large gear around the tire. The small gear is 2 1/2 inches and the larger one is 12 inches.
Is there anything I can do to the motor to make it faster? Or is changing the gears the only option. If it's a gearing issue, what size gears should I use?
