I don't know if I missed the message or not but, if you are switching to a v-twin ohv. Won't you have to move up to the B/P class. C/P rules state:

All single-cylinder overhead valve and two cylinder valve in block engines 20 hp and under.

Did I miss something??? Is that engine not an overhead valve motor?


Well I should of taken the time to read your other posts. My bad  :omg:, I won't let it happen again.

You are correct.....This change to my build just took place about 4 hours ago!

Sorry for the confusion........

ATTENTION ALL READERS OF THIS TOPIC. SINCE I'M CHANGING ENGINES ON THIS BUILD IT WILL NOW BE A B/P CLASS MOWSHINE.

Heck, if I can swap engines fast enough Maybe I'll run both classes!!!!

That dash looks awesome.  Isn't that thing a little complicated to use and isn't it a little hard to see it while you're driving?  I'll stick to a traditional mechanical/electric attentuator tachometer mounted on the hood or top of the dash thank you - technology scares the crap out of me :lol:
Naaaah it more intimidates me.

Thanks for the compliments!!

I really don't plan on watching the gauges during race time. During a caution I'll glace down at it just to see if all is OK. I can actually see that tach quite easily. I would like it mounted up on top of the dash but scared it will get damaged in an accident or mishap. It's really protected where I have it mounted. I think I sat on the mower for about an hour before I found the location that I liked for that tach!

Now I need to add a oil pressure gauge to the dash and am also considering a Autometer  PRO-LITE to warn me if oil pressure drops during race conditions.

I had a few racecars in the past....no time to look at gauges...the lights have saved me a lot!

The can be set-up as a shift light, you can use them for low oil pressure warning, high water temp warning, oil temp warning.....and so on!

Here's a few images so all knows what I'm talking about.






I have used the larger ones in the past, may look into the smaller ones for the mower

...Won't you have to move up to the B/P class.

Seems that the title of the thread says it's a B/P ;)

If I used a tach, I'd mount it right into my line of vision, so I don't have to take my eyes off the track to look at it.  That way I don't blow anything up see... :lol: we wouldn't want that!
