Hi all I need some information
« on: August 15, 2017, 11:30:32 am »
I need to see if I can get some information on building a 12 HP Flat Head Briggs & Stratton what is available for it and where to get the  necessary parts for it.
I'm looking to try to go with a forged crank, rod, piston, cam, flywheel. Ext.
Can anyone help me out with this please.
I'm looking to stay stock with it for now just trying to make it hold up to the beating that they get.
Or any information on just what I need to do to be able to race it with the USLMRA and keep it legal.

So.  You want to leave it stock?   Or you want to build it?

I'm not sure what to do with it?
I'm looking to get in to the stock class as a beginner racer and I'm not very sure on just what to build or just how to set it up?
Me being a small engine and an ase certifide automotive and diesel mechanic I could build a really wicked machine.
That all said I never built a race Mower and I'm in need of help and guidance on what class and how to do the proper and legal set up.

Thanks in advance for your help.

First do some reading.   All the info you need is here.  Just need to dig for it.  Look at the build section.  Lots of good info in there. 

You need to decide where and who you are going to race with.  That will determine what class to build.

I'd recommend starting off in a stock class like GP.   It is popular and you can move up to a modified engine class easily.
