New Tecumseh 5HP 2 Cycle Motor

and it is really new, with the optional header, a homemade mount, and it charges at 12v

NOW! what to put it on??

 

[Motra]

Are you buying it? It looks really cool!

 

[allstateguy]

it's in my garage now.
wondering what kind of pipe to attach to the finned header?
it's a real AH817MB
unused and ready to go vroom

 

[metal man]

looking at it for being new it looks awful ruff . did it get some harsh handling or something ? neat find tho

 

[mc73cromags]

That looks cool, nice find! get a expansion chamber exhaust for it, that will really wake it up!

some of the larger fox bikes use a 5hp 2 cycle engine. make a good replacement engine for someone that needs one.

thanks Delray

I think you may be right. it would be like I found a brand new Rupp Continental Custom motor and just put it in a DB30 to ride around with.
Who are the Fox guys around this forum who could use an NOS motor?

 

[allstateguy]

it's on eBay, I didn't have the heart to just slap it on something and run it. I do wish they still made them though, I'd put this on my Bird in a heartbeat.

Auction ends in a couple of hours

If anybody needs an AH817MB, here's your chance

I had a NOS engine like that as well
Except mines was white
you should keep it and drop it on a minibike or put it in a Rupp like I wanted to I wasnt able to because Im 18 years old going to school and have like 3 other Rupp projects all going on at the same time
its pretty easy 5/8 salsbury clutches for 2 cycles are everywhere
