Find a intake carb setup of a 12 HP mower. That would be a better carb.

You may have to go back a ways.

Yes, quite a ways, but worth the read. Look for Rooster's oiling mod thread.

The rule that we go by, if the governor is gone, so is the stock flywheel.
It is not up for debate. Also, nobody will teach anyone to do so from
This site.

I understand perfectly. Thanks so much!

My guess - use the 6x6.5 wheels and the 13x6.5-6 tires on front?

NP,  and that is a good combo.0

Thanks birdman. So when you mention about cutting the lip are you talking about the bottom of rear frame "box"?

Yep, the line is right, but leave metal to turn out a new lip on the bottom.
It will be longer on the back. The lip will give strength without adding weight.

8 x 8 will be good on those tires.

If there is a thumbnail version of those links, that is what we need.

You need a better pic hosting site to show your pics. One you can link to.

You can buzz that lip off flat all the way around, leave enough to bend a new lip that will be flat,
and weld the corner nothces back in.

The flywheel isn’t as dangerous as some people make it seem, if you haven’t bashed on it with a hammer or it doesn’t have any cracks it will probably be good until you upgrade the valve springs, then it becomes dangerous.


Yes the flywheel is dangerous, if you wish to take on financial responsibility for every flywheel made, you can make that statement.
Please do not make that statement here again.

Looking at the pics, I do not see bracing from front to rear on this yet.

Briggs OHV & Vanguard / Re: 18 flywheel fit a 23?

4300 looks like no governor, means put on a billet flywheel and standard coils,
and not worry about rpms.
