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.

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.

I would just like to add I just encountered the same problem with my CV492 and come to find out that the solenoid was going bad on the carburetor so I ordered a new carburetor with the new solenoid and now all is good with it.
so you might want to look at the solenoid and make sure that you are getting enough power to it and that it is clicking when power is applied and then check for proper ground.

I hope that this helps you out a little.
