Oh well, I didn't post in the other thread so I guess I'll put it here:

Vertical Briggs 375 sprint (3.75hp)

Vertical Tecumseh 3.5hp 2-stroke on a flymo mower which was given to me

23cc weed whacker engine, not running because it needs some kind of fuel tank and I'm too lazy to make one and too cheap to buy one

2007 Suzuki GS-500F engine, 9,500km.
47hp
11,500 rpm redline
6 speed manual
Air cooled
Parallel twin
Twin Mikuni carbs
Now with adjustable, from in kart, rev limiter. Anywhere from 0 - 11,000 rpm

hows the rev limiter work?

my engine is a 86 Kawasaki KLR600
42hp @ 7500 rpm

currently working on tuning it

An electronics guru friend of mine wired up the shift light from a tachometer (was given to me) to the kill switch of the engine.

That's a sneaky trick, but I can see how it would work!
