I'd be worried about your valves, if people are mushrooming them with stock valves, I'd hate to see it with 18lb springs.

On the other hand, dual's start floating at around 8000 anyways. Many people spin Briggs 5HP's 8000+. Just need a few hundred girdles.

No, Oscar I have the COMP billet retainers and dual valve springs in my rhino and we run 9100 RPM all day long. No valve float here. They are surely more than 18 lbs. The valve springs used in my rhino are 60 LB springs and over 120 LBS compressed.

Mods get to double post?! :D

There are lots of types of dual springs. There's like 7 choices of dual's on COMP.

that looks like a lifan engine. they're china made, so IDK about quality.

I remember them selling for around $150 without stuff like ignition, etc.

hooking up wouldnt be hard if you have a welder.

I personally don't but my friend works at a trucking company and can use there welders and my other friend has a shop so no problem on that. It says honda mini trail parts so i don't know if there talking about the engine or the atv. I hate bad descriptions on ebay.

after i seen that engine i stumbled upon affordable go karts. the gx200 looks like a easy route with the upgrade packages they have. also it would bolt straight up to a go kart.

i am pretty much set on the gx200 just go to menards or rural king to get one i will price check them first. Then get the bolt on kit 7 want to get 8 but thats salty i will still have to get the flywheel. maybe sometime down the road i will get the ported head. my buddy works in a machine shop and he said he has most of the tools to port a head and a guy who has the know how so i may not have to buy it.

www.out2win.com. They sell used and new briggs flathead racing engines as well as kt100's a briggs animal motors so on and so on. They also any stock or aftermarket parts and very good customer service complete with lots of free advice. I've gone down this road myself. Built my first briggs racing motor, locked it up during break in, tore it down for a rebuild, filed the rings a bit more and honed the cylinder for a bit more cylinder wall to piston clearance, and now she's running 60+ mph on a fun kart with a really crappy gear ratio. If I could do it all over again, I would buy the **** motor already complete though. I have done alot more machine work and porting than wka allows though so that is the only reason I opted to build my own rather than buying one built and tearing into it to get what I wanted. Here's the specs: Medium Comp Mr. Velocity cam, SINGLE COIL higher tention valve springs, polished valves, briggs raptor .020 piston and rings .065 ring gap, briggs raptor billet rod, .020 milled head with .043 copper head gasket, 3 degree advanced flywheel keyway, 3.5 horse flywheel w/ coil adapter, raptor carb, ported exhaust and intake ports, removed and polished block eyebrow, 3 stage 14" header, denso spark plug. Bought the carb, block, head, flywheel, header and gas tank used on ebay, bought everything else from the cam to the rod bolts from out2win.com. Total spent: $508 including block and head machining

oh, by the way, with a quick fuel jet and spark plug change, that briggs 4 stroke motor can be run on methanol for a 10% horsepower increase. How's that for kicking a kt100 2 stroke around the block

You are completely clueless. Its WAYYYYY more than a jet and a plug, you have to change the timing, and mod the carb. A KT100 on gas will lap anything made from a tiller block.
