nr racing has the jets for those carbs. i think they refer to them as the small body. can look here Jets

Yea I put in a 94ss and they call for 30-32. Cant be that hard to figure out. Guess I'll figure it out with a multi meter and a degree wheel. Seems over ambitious for such a simple task but if it unknown territory then I must

I figured it was around 26 or 27* stock?

It's a briggs 5 horse with points and a cast iron stock flywheel. I thought the briggs part was self explanatory since I posted I the briggs section.

what is the stock timing set at on 5 horse flatties? I need to know this value so i know how much to move it. also the offset keys come in thousandths. how many degrees per .020, or how do they figure that, is it 1 degree for every .010 offset?

I have this taper bore vm22 and I'm making an intake for it. My question is, should my intake flange cover this hole or leave it open to atmosphere, or does it matter? It's hard to see in the hole but it looks like it's plugged right before it gets to the idle mixture screw which is right...

what jets did you use to start with on that mikuni? 130 and a 17.5? I am parts collecting for a similar build,i dont have the jets yet tho.... and where did you find the black mamba? its out of stock everywhere i looked

i bought one 3 days ago and used a 20% coupon on top of the sale price. works for me every time

cool, thanks guys. that got my wheels spinning. er, stopping..

welp i guess i need to order a band then haha

maybe i can fab up a clutch brake that is actuated by the scrub brake pedal. I kinda want to keep all that true to the bike, the pedal and all.

either which way you look at it, i'm going to have to fab something but thats no biggy, I can handle it.

here is a slight setback on a clutch drum, the side cover on my flathead briggs doesnt have the 4 bolt holes for accesories.

how good do the drum brakes work? like the cheapo azusa kind. I actually threw one on an order of parts i have comming but like i said i am unsure how good they work in general. should i just jump straight to a clutch brake or will a combo scrub and wheel drum be pretty ok?

I'm rebuilding an old mini bike and honestly ive never ridden one that i can really rememeber the brakes on.. this bike i'm building has a scrub brake which is fine but I was thinking about adding a drum brake to the rear wheel also. maybe integrate the scrub brake petal so it pulls the drum...
