8hp briggs on rupp continental

[briggs33]

hey guys im new here so i thought i might just throw up a post and tell everyone what im running. Well to start off i got a newer manco thunderbird 4hp but i dont really ride it. And for my other bike i got a rupp continental that was my dads old bike from when he was kid. So at first i tried getting the old tecumseh strated but it had a crack in the block so i shoved:hack: a 8hp briggs and man does that thing got some torque!!! im almost done hooking up the throttle. whats cool is i shaved done the cam to free up some weight decked the head and removed the governer completely. now im looking for a light weight fly wheel
