Hello All, New member here, I'm in the process of converting an old Manco Rustler 3 wheeler into a fat tire bike. I got the rolling frame years ago and hadn't really done anything with it. I had put a 5hp Tecumseh powersport motor on it and putted around the yard and then it sat. Decided...

I got an older 5hp Briggs. So I picked up a "new style coil *magnetron* with an aluminum flywheel, I will no longer be running points ignition, my question is; the keyway don't line up in the same place....is this due to the difference in the ignition set-ups, or is my motor so old they have...

I have this little generator with the Walbrow bowl carb on a 3.5 horse flatty.. It uses a nice aluminum intake manifold.. Problem is the main jet is not adjustable, and if I want to use the generator, I gotta wire the choke like EXACTLY 23 / 59 shut, or it won't run.. The power went out, and...

I was looking around on GO Karts USA and came across a torque converter for my MB200. What is the advantage of them? Thanks!

I should start off by saying I am competent welder and machining things is not a problem so this project is well within my means. I have a bone stock doodlebug that runs fine but that's not why I bought this. I have your standard HF 6.5 hp motor that I want to swap out. These are the things I...

Anyone done this? What ould have to be done to convert to E85? I thought it might be cool to run this fuel since the station down the street now carries E85 and it would be cool to shave the head for compression and run the E85 to keep the evil detonation away. I know I would need a carb setup...
