Fox Campus The Fox Campus is definitely a cool bike. Looking to get one maybe tomorrow. Welcome to the site Pictures!

Diesel good Like diesel engines because they are more flexible as far as fuel. Would be very cool to have a Mini Bike running on Biodiesel or Greasel. Been wanting to get my hands on a cheap 5HP or thereabouts Diesel engine. Can you make a reccomendation?

Scammers Suck I can't believe that there are still people out there that fall for this crap. Personally I'm not going to send you a bunch of money via western union for anything. If I even hear the words cashiers check I run away. The only reason there are scammers is because there are...

Carb Jimmy'ing 101 If the carb works and it fits, it should work. I have put motorcycle carbs on small engines with success. I think you are OK as long as the carb is in good working order. You will need to adjust a bit to get the idle right etc. but should be A OK :thumbsup:

Brady Bunch? You people are twisted. how does a Briggs with a partially sheared shear pin remind you of the Brady Bunch? That was the problem, the shear pin was about 50% sheared. :doah:

Trikes are Kewl Always wanted to custom build a trike. Have a rear end on a twisted up go cart frame, has full size 3 wheeler tires on it, would make a great trike. Post some pictures! Welcome!

Ooooooof! I want one, I need One, Gotta Have It! My 5HP Briggs has Piston Envy! :doah: Wanna put it on a Rupp frame! :out:

Wow! Worked on this Chopper for a guy. I mounted the engine, clutch, chain, and throttle. Took a couple rides and OMG! Got it going maybe 30 MPH it's great once you get it going, but don't need to make a sharp turn! Personally I would chop the chappa :hack: :grind: just a bit.

Your wish is my command Bigger Pix. OOPS, saved the thumbs and not the bigger pix. Duh The Second pic is the one I put the welded shaft Honda on, it's by far the fastest cart I have, even faster than the one with the 8HP B&S on it.

Here are all my carts. Have 6 frames. So far been able to get 4 of them running. One has a Honda 5 HP with a Splined shaft, I cut a shaft off a junk engine and welded it onto the Honda to take a clutch! Runs! Been trading and tinkering! :grind::weld::hack: :thumbsup:

Had too many frames and not enough engines. Had a Honda 5 HP with a splined shaft (gear reduction) couldn't use it. Thought about my options. I cut the shaft off a junk engine :hack: and welded it onto the Honda! :weld: Runs great. Stuck it on a go cart temporarily and it works great...

Nice I have an 11 HP Honda screaming for your frame.

Aching hand again Just pulled the cover off, the Cam Timing is right on. Will check the shear pin next. I think the guy said the head shaved and polished and the intake polished Hurts Like Hell is an understatement. My wrist and hand still hurt from 3 days ago! If this doesn't get...

What would cause an engine to yank the pull chord from your hand when it fires? I'm thinking maybe a timing issue? :confused:

My awesome seat Don't make fun of my seat. I DID NOT MAKE THIS SEAT nuff said :thefinger:

lack of spark My experience is that most engines just need to have the fields cleaned. And points if it has any. I always use a new plug when trying to diagnose a spark problem Good luck

70 Blistering cc of raw power! 4 speed automatic transmission! real actual Tires! Hydraulic front brake (gasp) :thumbsup::sadcrying4::no::drool: and a nifty skull sticker on the tank!!! I traded a non running lawn tractor for it and a honda 5hp engine That's my 7 year old Elijah on the...

Just aquired a nice 5 HP Honda engine, the shaft on it is splined, had a gear reduction on it. A clutch will not fit on the shaft. I am thinking maybe a machine shop could cut it down a bit? :confused: I know engines pretty well, I have about 15 right now, they change daily, there are a...
