    Reverse engineering a jackshaft

    I’m not sure what to do in this situation. I’m pretty sure my snowbike is over geared. I’m running a 5hp Briggs and I have a torque converter on it. It’s geared 10/54. The 54 tooth gear is the biggest I can fit on the wheel without it being bigger than the wheel. Should I run the torque...

    Briggs 135202 questions

    I just have a few more questions pertaining to this engine. It’s a flathead 5hp model 135202. I didn’t know how much and what type of oil to run in it? And second, do I need to remove the governor? There’s some weird shaft on the base of the block and I assume it’s governor related. Not sure if...

    Gnarly little monster

    It’s not a mini bike motor, but I figured I’d show you guys what I like to build. Started life as a zenoah g260rc motor. I got Trevor Simpson billet reed cases for it. Doug at esp did the port work which included blocking the intake port and cutting a 5th boost port in the cylinder, lightened...

    Snowbike build

    Ive seen 1 or 2 people build snowbikes around the internet, but I could never find a proper build thread. I'm going to start a thread here to document what I'm doing to modify this bike to make a snowbike. I have never messed with any mini bikes of any kind. I'v been riding gopeds since I was...

    Oil vent tube

    I have this 5hp briggs engine and it had a tube going from the plate covering the valve springs back to the carb. I switched to a 16mm slide carb so what do I do with that hole? Do I need to run a catch can?

    Help with some things

    I’m trying to get this snow bike Up and running. Someone said that I should start my gearing at 6:1, does this mean I get a back sprocket 6 times as big as the one on the torque converter or is there more math involved? Next question is, how do I know what size chain I have? I bought the...

    5hp Carb options

    I was looking into switching the carb on my 5hp flathead, but in order to do that, I have to get a carb thats not connected to the tank. Is there a cheap option that will let me convert this? The engine in question is model 135202. Seems to be a pretty common engine.
