Chassis / Centering rear axle and stagger
« on: December 04, 2011, 09:07:27 pm »
When building a kart style rear end, 1 inch axle chain drive etc.  Do you make your axle center with your chassis and do you make it with a stagger or put it in straight in comparison with your front end ?

Where do you guys get these for a decent price? i can't find them anywhere around my home town. Also what is a good size for the front spindle's ? Was thinking 5/8's would be sufficent enough. Thanks for the input.

Tecumseh Engines / Ohv 17 Compression release
« on: July 06, 2011, 11:53:08 pm »
When you modify a ohv17 do you take the compression release off the cam or just leave it on because you'd have to have a 5hp briggs to start it?

Post your Pics! / My mower
« on: May 16, 2011, 10:01:12 pm »
Its not as fancy as 99% of everyone else's mower's, and we all run the stock transmissions around here so it's not the best but usually takes 1st or 2nd place.

Tecumseh Engines / Taking the balancers out of a enduro
« on: May 08, 2011, 08:56:31 pm »
I was told that these motors run fine without the balancers. I tried this on my spare motor and it vibrates wild at idle but once you get into the rpm's it smooth's out. Any suggestions? Did i do something wrong?

Briggs OHV & Vanguard / Throwing around an idea 15.5 ohv
« on: February 02, 2011, 09:10:59 pm »
I have a 15.5 ohv briggs that i worn out. would it be worth it to put a 31 (20hp) piston in this 28 block . and using the head off the 31. all parts are free except to bore it 50 bucks. would the gains be considerable? This is for a drag racer with no rules as far as the motor.

« on: January 26, 2011, 09:48:43 pm »
What is the cheapest way to get more power out of my 17 enduro? It is bone stock fresh off a murry. i ran it a few practices and it is strong. was able to pull away from a similar mower with a 17 tech. Just wanting some more power out of mine for the upcoming season. Thanks  p.s. it also needs to be reliable. thanks
