Anybody got a source for a Keystone (red one) TAS engine? I really hate to cut the front brace out to mount a motor for it to run.

Are you interested in a springer front end(forks) for the red keystone? I want to swap for a rigid like you have.

I plan not to but if I can't find the og engine I may have to put a briggs on it.

Tillers and snow blowers can be found pretty cheap with the 5hp Briggs on them.

Install the Briggs while you continue to search for the correct engine.

He'd have to cut the front engine mount out.

try to cut in a way it could be readded when the correct engine comes along

I have some 5 hp Briggs motors, but I really want to see if I can find the two stroke original if it is out there, before I have to cut the front mount piece. I have a briggs 2 hp that would fit and runs like a smooth sewing machine, but I would have to Fred Flintstone it to get it started.

Thinking the same thing.

That's a 2hp briggs in my avatar bike, only modifications are a ball bearing on the crank and some light rework on the intake port. I don't have to "Flintstone" to get it going. It won't burn the back tire or win any hill climbs but it gets going without my help and will do 20mph+. I am running 4" rims though. all in the gearing.

Have you considered using a 2 stroke snowblower engine. Would take a little more work making a bracket to mount to the original but you could avoid cutting the original mount. Use it while you search for an original. You may like it well enough to just leave it.

I know I ran a Cat minibike with 6" wheel base and 2.5HP briggs and my 200 pounds with no problems. Not quick, but it did OK.
