Stock Engine Expectations
« on: September 07, 2013, 03:46:54 pm »
I don't have the appropriate flywheel so I will be starting off bone stock. I have 2 engines to choose from. One is an older 3 bolt carb 19 HP boxer. The second is a 17.5 single OHV, both Briggs. Still having problems choosing which to use.
How much total gear ratio can I expect to pull with 18x9.5x8 tires?
My little girls yard cart is a 6hp OHC Subaru ungoverned pulling a 6 to 1 ratio on 15x6x6 tires. I would like to keep up with her.
I understand the safety issues with steering and braking and these will be taken care of first before anything runs or is driven.
