Briggs OHV & Vanguard / Economical alternative to a billet flywheel?
« on: December 26, 2008, 01:31:52 pm »
Dont get me wrong... Those ARC flywheels are top notch, and I have actually purchased one for my last racer a few years ago.... But now, with two kids, and more bills, I just cant swing 500 bucks for the kit, and still aford to build the rest of the mower....
Is there any other way  to make a lightened safe racing flywheel?

Briggs OHV & Vanguard / Whats the diference between a 40CID and a 44CID Intek?
« on: March 06, 2008, 03:06:26 pm »
I searched and couldnt find a definite answer...
Is it simply a bigger bore?
I have a 40 cube and want to know what it would take to make it more cubes.....

Briggs OHV & Vanguard / Whats the new HOT engine available now???
« on: June 03, 2007, 10:16:45 am »
i dont run in a very regulated league, so as long as its a mower engine, its good.... Right now i have a 40cube intec v-twin with a few goodies on it. i have a 44 cube intec v-twin sitting in the garage waiting to be built.....

what else is out there, and is there something bigger yet?? ( and NOT super heavy, i.e. BIG BLOCK intecs)

Chassis / i know its been asked before about front ends....
« on: December 08, 2006, 01:30:08 am »
So im going tomorrow to 'officialy' start my build, and im going to put my front end together.

how does this sound, im going to put in only about 3 or 4 degrees of camber, 10 degrees caster, then make my spindle perfectly level to put the most amount of tire on the ground. i think this combo will be about the best bet with having to turn both ways, both on dirt, and on the street.

Any sugestions otherwise?

This one is my buddy dustin overtaking hid dad in the last race. his dad is on my old mower that he completely rebuilt, with aa 14hp vanguard twin and a 700, and dustin is on one his uncle built, i believe hes got a 12hp flathead or some bigger flathead briggs and a 700 on it.
the other people are Chadron racers, they dont talk to us much, so i dont know anything about them.

This one is of some crazy guys from Colorado! 4 of them showed up, two snowmobile based, and two motorcycle based. The one guy had a v65 honda magna on an otherwise stock mtd chassi, and he ate poop in his first lap. the other guy has a 600 sportbike enigne on it, and was pretty much a quad. the snowmobiles had a hard time recovering out of the corners.
Listen to that black 600 overtake the snowmobile one!

Other Engines / 14hp onan
« on: November 15, 2006, 03:38:32 pm »
Does anyone know anything about the 14hp onan singles? Its an OHV withthe pressure jube system. Runs awsome! But i dont know if i can get any performance parts for it. If not, i guess ill just run her till she blows...

Tecumseh Engines / just got two new enignes!
« on: November 15, 2006, 03:29:22 pm »
i got an 8 hp tecumseh and a 14 hp onan!

The tec. is a flat head, and i think this is the big bad engine the guys like to build in the ap class isnt it?
Where do i need to look for engine numbers?

Thanks!

Driveline / race prepped tranny worth?
« on: July 28, 2006, 03:08:47 pm »
i ahve 4 or 5 700's running condition, also on top of those i have 3 that i have 'race prepped' down to the letter in georges instructions....

including the steel bevel gears, new 4 key shift keys, new brass, new needle bearing, oil seal, and a pint of amsoil gear oil ready to go in.

i have been asked to sell one of these race prepped ones, and i want to know what they are worth. i have about 150 bucks into it... i know its worth more them that, if a take off stocker is going for 125 on egay...
