Thanks, guys. Ended up passing on it. Originally listed as per the picture, except all pulled apart, for 250.00, but apparently he had not updated his add, since the picture, he painted it gray and white, and now asking 550.00. No longer the project I was looking for.

Wondering if this is worth picking up. What is it?

Yeah, I need to slow down with my new hobby purchases. Was looking for a motor for my first minibike project, and in less than a month, I now have 3 motors in my garage, and have seen a couple more Im curious about. I just got rid of a bunch of Volkswagen stuff (still kept some for just in...

Hi. Picked up this old Briggs, just liked the way it looks. I Googled the model number, and it appears to be a 6 hp, possibly from the early 60's. It has spark, and seems to have good compression. It has a 1" ouput shaft, and has a centrifugal clutch installed, dont know what it was used in. Its...

Hi guys. Not sure when this went from me asking for advice on what type of equipment was most likely to yield the right shaft length, to my not being able to find a motor. I never said I couldnt find a motor. Today I picked up an edger with a 3 1/2, and the guy started to show me it runs. I...

Thanks for the lead. I do have a few possibilities, mostly 3 or 3 1/2 hp motors. I just posted the shipping cost for info. Sounds like Fed Ex has better pricing.

Just for information. My wife happened to go to the UPS store for some Amazon return, and I asked her to check what it would cost to ship 45 lbs., in a 12 x 12 x 12 box, from Raleigh, North Carolina, to our home in Southern California. Ground shipping would be 141.07, and she forgot to ask what...

Thank you for the generous offer, Sparkwizard, but I am in southern california, and I suspect shipping cost would be prohibitive. I have some leads locally I will check out. Im sure someone closer to you would love to have that motor.

Thank. Learning all the time because of you guys.

So, I sourced a 3 1/2 Briggs for my project, but didnt realize it has an output shaft that is about 1 3/4, not the 2.3" that apparently I need. In looking for a motor, I see several lawn edgers that I could source a motor from. Question is, do these edgers typically have the short, or longer...

Thank you.

I dont see a return spring?

Thank you so much guys, appreciate the help. Ill post when I figure out what Im going to do.

Havasu Dave, I appreciate your help figuring out what crank to look for. Here is my info: 3 1/2 horsepower Model 094202-0117-E1 Code 990316YB

It seems that changing out the crankshaft is the right way to fix this. Is there a part number, or other such info to wright weight,

Interesting. When you made the extension/spacer, did you have to do anything with the keyway, or was that not an issue?

Looking for a little more info. Someone mentioned that the shaft on my motor needed to be 2.3" long, it is not, it is more like 1 3/4". is this going to be a problem? I was planning on just a clutch, 10 tooth, and a 60 tooth sprocket. Also, I was looking to order a carburetor rebuild kit, I dont...

Thanks for all the info. I need to finish some home projects before I dive into the minibike.

Hadnt thought about having to hold down the button, but youre right, I dont need that in an "o'shit' situation, not that I need any of those. I do like the look of those better, but looks arent everything. Mostly.

Wow! Great help!
