just got two new enignes!
« on: November 15, 2006, 03:29:22 pm »
i got an 8 hp tecumseh and a 14 hp onan!

The tec. is a flat head, and i think this is the big bad engine the guys like to build in the ap class isnt it?
Where do i need to look for engine numbers?
and who do i go to for performance parts?
Thanks!
Oh come on man. You got no lady fingers, fuzz buttles, snicker bombs, church burners, finger blasters, gut busters, zippity do das, or crap flappers?
No, I don't.
You're gonna stand there, owning a fireworks stand, and tell me you don't have no whistling bungholes, no spleen spliters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker donts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistling kitty chaser?

Why does everyone want tvm220's over there?

We've gone through so many of those things in the last 4 years that we have now changed out regs to allow other engines.

My own record is, two snapped con rods (making nice hole's in the side of the case), 2 seized up and a couple of others that have had pick up on the big end!

It doesn't sound like you have the "Big Bad" Tech that everyone wants for AP.

I traded one off to a guy in Iowa Gary Irving and it clearly showed TVM220 on the shroud.

The way I understand it the TVM220 while technically a 10hp, has been labeled as an 8hp in some cases and therefore allowed in the AP class. You can imagine the advantage 2 hp would have in a very closely competitive class such as the USLMRA AP.

"IBuiltmine-" I thought you guys were not interested in racing USLMRA rules ?

no, not really, what im interested in is an engine with a big folloewing so i can get SPEED PARTS! LOL!!!

this engines a side shaft, and is destin for my new barstool racer im building... BUT then i though about this guy over on my other board who hurt his back and cant ride  or race anymore, and is pretty much stuck in his chair or couch and how fun it would be to be able to lounge around while hauling soooo
maybe itll me my armchair racer, or maybe even that nice couch thats in my storage shed might get a speed makeover!

but thats where the 14hp onan comes in. Ill need some torqu hauling around 3 or 4 guys and a couch! LOL!
ive vound a couple places on youtube where they have motorized couch and chair, they are tooo funny!
i got a 14hp vanguard single and a 6 speed transaxle just begging to be in something fun!

Barstool Racer !!!

You gotta talk wo my buddy Rob Caho he is the man when it comes to barstools...
http://www.rocketbarstool.com/

Check out his hooters girls pictures not as personal as squidd's but nice none the less...

As far as performance parts for that engine goes? Well how fast does you couch have to go? If you are hauling some beef I would imagine that torque is what you are after and for that my friend get a V-Twin. Mel-Co is selling them on e-bay used for $50 !!!!
I will admit it's a crapshoot as to if you get one that is rebuildable but can you imagine your lazy-boy with a 2 speed peerless and a 24hp briggs v-twin !!!?!?!?!?

That HM80 is supposed to be a good motor. I'm building one myself. I'll guess Ill find out.
This guy should be able to get you a rod for it. www.clementsracingengines.com
Its about 20 cubes and you have some options. Star parts can be made to work in it.
