Hello all. Just bought a "Restored" Model 600 Gote, not sure the year has a fairly high serial #2768. Has a 1968 7hp briggs and doubt it's the original engine, but who knows. Got it running last night, runs good and surprisingly fast (just about outruns the dog).
So couple questions:
1. Engine mount isolators available? Or something like shock absorber bushings work. And do these old briggs shake like a wet dog (alot)
2. Carb main jet adjustment seems very sensitive, like a 1/2 turn either way and the motor dies. Got it idling good, but bit of a high speed miss also. Installed a new plug and not sure what's been done to the motor in the past.
3. Pictures of stock looking mufflers. Need something way less noisy. Did the stockers shot out the back or maybe straight down?
4. Anyone fit a 5.7x8 tire on the back. Not a big deal, probably go with 4.8x8 Carlisle stud tires recommended on this site.
First minibike since about 1978, blow up the engine overreving it with no chain. Live and learn. First pic craigslist ad, not my car. Thanks for any help.
