Driveline / Mounting a Star Clutch
« on: February 12, 2011, 11:14:49 pm »
I am setting up my first mower using a Noram Star clutch on a vertical shaft engine to a RAGB. My question is do you put a spacer between the top of the clutch and the shoulder on the crank?   If yes, how tight?    Did you have a keyway cut on the RAGB input shaft?    Any other advice you could give on this setup would be greatly appreciated.     :confused:     Thanks Dave

Has anyone ever tried to build/run a TVM 220 without the counter balancer?

Racing Mower Builds / Dave's B/P build 3/07
« on: April 04, 2007, 11:27:50 pm »
I have learned so much from this forum, I feel obligated to share some photo's of our latest build (K & G Racing-Brookland,Arkansas)
Please bear with me until I figure this photobucket thingey!

We were in a rush because our test and tune date was closing in on us fast! My poor buddy has the only mig welder in our bunch so needless to say we have been very busy!  I decided to go with a completely new chasis at the last minute, so we went from grass cutter to rolling race chassis in one afternoon therefore I did not get any "BEFORE" pic's.

Here you can see the 1.25" angle we welded in for frame rails and the tranny plate we welded to it.

Here you can see the upper steering support which will utilize a 5/8 heim joint for the steering shaft. A GREAT idea from Mowman Racer


And here you can see the lower heim mount. It is mounted at a funny angle because we were making room to the right of it for a full size battery

Well thats all for today, we are through with the build so the thread should move pretty quickly next week.  I am going to Memphis for the weekend but will get back to it when I get home.     Dave

Briggs OHV & Vanguard / Intec Valve Springs
« on: March 19, 2007, 10:40:55 am »
1) How Many RPM's are the stock Intec V-Twin valve springs good for?
2) Will a stock Vanguard twin carb bolt on to the Intec manifold?
3) Anybody got recommendations and prices on these items?

Briggs Flathead / Briggs 28 Build Up HELP
« on: November 06, 2005, 09:37:58 pm »
Hello Fellas,  I am about to start rebuilding my motor (Briggs 28ci) and am planning on putting all the expensive Goodies in it ( billet flywheel, ARC rod, piston, rings, valves and keepers) .
   I was wondering if anyone replaces valve guides, seats, or crank bearings on 28ci series engines ? If so, where could I get it done or who would you recommend ? OH yeah and can anyone tell me what valves and springs to buy and info on cuttin the groove for the keepers or do anyone sell them ready to install. (I already have the G-Force cam)

Any help would be very much appreciated ! :roll:
