    Is this a B&S 8hp animal ?

    Got the engine from the scrap yard with a busted rod, apparently no damage to the block other than the topside oil filler/dip stick boss. It came with a splined short crank shaft attached to a gear reducer of sorts that was trashed in the inside. I am looking at replacing the crank with a...

    Worn clutch key help.

    The fix/built in key on my new to me comet clutch is almost gone. The prior owner had drill a small hole on the engine shaft so to get the only set screw to sort of lock the clutch to the shaft. I am contemplating drilling a couple holes right above the shaft key way and install two more set...

    Back to my roots.

    Needing something to keep me busy, I picked up a mini bike that sort of looked like my first bike. Yet it turned to be just like it once I found a picture of my old ride right (Duster) here in the forums . I was able to look and compare that the bike I picked up is in fact an old Duster just...
