My 5HP Briggs (130202 familly)

What do you guys think?

It's bone stock, aside from the air filter which I can't even use on my frame. =(

Replaced every gasket, tore it down to the crank. Sand blasted or hand sanded every surface on the exterior, polished the carb by hand with wire brushes.

To be honest, this was my first small engine build ever, and I have to say I am very proud of my work. What do you guys think?

:thumbsup:

my question is, did you replace the rings, and also did you lap the valves. you will definatly notice a differance if you do.

 

[jreed1337]

nope, it seemed fine so i didnt bother.

looks great but how does it run :thumbsup:

 

[jreed1337]

well it ran great prior to taking it all apart. havent started it since... need to figure out the throttle tinkage, though i suppose I could still start it just because.

hopefully still good! :mellow:

I bought this throttle linkage, it bolted up nicely. If you want I could post a picture of it installed. Briggs 5hp Racing Throttle Linkage Kit Raptor Go kart :eBay Motors (item 120420326793 end time Jun-12-09 20:19:35 PDT)
