    7 hp Briggs,

    I’ve been looking at the engine and I can’t see a way to mount a cvt. No mounting holes. Forgive me, it’s my first Briggs While I got you here, how do I make a more practical kill switch than just shorting out the spark plug

    7 hp Briggs,

    So I’m thinking of using this engine in a cushman style build. The plans are floating around on the internet from old Popular Mechanics articles. I’ve got plenty of scrap angle iron for the takin at work so I’ll only have to buy a few odds and ends. I’ll need wheels - what’s a good source? and...

    7 hp Briggs,

    7 hp Briggs,

    I picked up a 7hp Briggs for 20 bucks. Are there any performance upgrades I can do to it? Or did I find another oddball (they seem to find me) I’m new to mini bikes but I’d like to make a street legal bike with taller wheels. Is that a thing? I want it to be a thing

    Is this 5hp or 8hp

    So I’ve determined it was built august 7th 1978. it starts on the first pull and the guy says it’s been sitting for years. He was impressed and so was I. He got it years ago from an old neighbor who used it on a log splitter. It needs a muffler. I’d like to put a lighting charging coil on it...

    New guy here

    Here’s where I am now. It’s got so much torque it should be playing bass for the monkees.

    New guy here

    I rode it again today. Took it to 45 but then ran outta room (I live in an urban area so not many long roads to test it) it had plenty more to give. I’m confident 55 isnt an unrealistic goal. Brakes need to be adjusted or replaced...49 year old brake shoes need a little tlc or replacement. I...
