Bought a 6.5 back in March during the big sale. Just got around to mounting it. It will only fire/run with the chioke on. Turn choke off and it dies. Don't know much about small engines. Any ideas?

Great work and yes, wood dies will work. Just keep in mind, rolling tubing and bending tubing are two different things. So adjust your design as you go. Here is a link to a cheap homemade tubing bender. Might have to use different parts but inovation is the mother of necessity right...

For a repair that doesn't look butchered or uses some funky 1-off bushing, or the non-stock parts you wish not to use, here is a thought. Drill the mounting plates out with an 11/16" bit (.6875) Cut 2 sleeves out of 3/8" (.42 ID) schedule 80 pipe (.68 OD) Bevel the edges on the OD of the...

For several years I had been rebuilding old motorcycles and cars. But since October of 2009, the State has really tightened the legalizing process, mainly in search of obatining tax dollars. Here in the State of Illinois, if the vehicle in question does not already have a clear title, you MUST...

Thanks Badtec!!!

Young or old, what difference does it make when it comes to not wanting to play BS games??????

Yep!! Life is just to short to play BS games!!!!!!!

Thanks for the PM spoon. And as asking for mods, all I was wanting was a simple nod in the right direction. Anyonewith any sense could figure out that when I said that I just picked up a 6.5 this morning and asked what could be done to it could figure out I don't hae a clue on which direction to...

Forget I asked!!!!

Just picked up a new 6.5 at the HF sale this morning. What should I do to allow this engine to flex a bit more of it's muscle? Don't need it breathing fire but would like a little more umph!
