Vintage 1968 Powell Challenger (SR# 1668-C). Includes the Custom designed and built parts by the Powell brothers: Spark Arrester, Torque Convertor w/ cover, Shift lever, Rear Brake. Requires a Briggs flat head 5hp engine. I have the engine that was on the bike when I got it but I never invested...

I've decided to sell my Powell since I have moved to the suburbs. The project has had no advancement because of 2 moves for 2 different jobs in 2 different states. $500 you pay all shipping cost.

The Ace hardware store by my house has Ace branded condenser, points, and spark plug kit for $7.49. at that price I keep 1 in the tool box all the time now.

Has anyone tried making a soda blaster for cleaning engines? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vuENNhOMQs

The redneck engineer in me wants to use use the reverse direction in some way. I just haven't figured out how.

Engine was seized when I got it, but I wanted it for parts. Cylinder already had transmission fluid and head gasket looks brand new. Someone was going to try and free this motor. Cylinder is scared so I don't know that I'll try to salvage the jug unless someone has an idea what the reverse...

Matt, I get it. I had the best time working with the pair of Briggs I grabbed last weekend. I could see myself flipping a few to feed my habit and keep the wife off my back. This weekend I think my 9yr girl and I are going to tear into her new go kart engine for a little Engine 101. She's...

WOW! Do you restore and sell? I'm not looking to buy, those are a little to high end for my addiction.

Love the advise from one "junkie" to another... just give it all to me, I'll save you by using these demons that haunt us. Thanks for jumping on the grenade for me. And when I fall off the wagon you'll graciously take those demons away too. Teach me to seek refuge with people that "don't have a...

That would just throw the balance off. Then I'd have 5 motors and 1 toy.

Hi my name is Aaron and I have a problem. Since finding a Powell Challenger at my Dad's and buying my girls a go kart I've purchased 3 engines. 1 H25 Tecumseh and 2 5hp flat head Briggs. I now have 5 motors and only 2 toys to put them on. The go kart came with a 7hp Intek Briggs and the Powell...

The torque issue was caused by my big butt. Put my 9yr old in it and it just goes. I guess my weight on the opposite side of the drive tire was causing loss of traction. So far i'm not worried about the speed because the field they ride in would shake your teeth out if you got going to fast.

I put it up for sale if anyone is interested. Didn't notice at the time of purchase, but the clutch doesn't fit this motor. 3/4" clutch. I went with a Briggs, that I already had, for my project. Thanks for all the insight you guys are awesome. You can hit Google for days and never get this...

I got it for my kid's go kart but decided to go with one of my Briggs. Runs good but I've only started it twice with a small shot of starting fluid. 60's shroud, 80's jug, and not sure about the carb. No fuel tank and I've removed the belt pulley in the pics. $50 plus shipping.

I'm going to show my ignorance and ask what's the jug? So, I have a frank-in motor. Are Tec know to be hard starting motors? Since the choke is open I gave up and used a shot of starter fluid to get it running. Now I need to ID the carb to get a rebuild kit. I was starting to think it wasn't...

Today I picked up a H25 off of Craigslist for $40. He had it posted as a 3hp Briggs. Came with a Comet clutch, sprocket, and chain. Didn't realize it was a 2.5hp at the time. The list of things I didn't ,and still don't, know about Tec is to long to list. It's missing the throttle linkage and...

I've been away from karts and mini bikes since I was a kid. Back then nothing was as fast enough. Now that I have one for my 9 and 6 year old girls I need to slow it down. How about some back story... I picked it up cheap from a 20-something kid who never finished a motor swap. He had...

xjrock, That is a sharp Powell. Did you swap the tilt engine mount for a fixed. In 1 weeks time a Powell and a go kart... I think I found my new addiction. I gave up building 4X4 after a freak roll that made my wife swear she and the girls would never trail ride.
