Do a search, there are multiple numbers, and multiple knock-offs (stay away). They are the same for horizontals and verticals.

EDIT: 808726 is one of numbers for the Denso starter.

Well, things have been going well for the 13Motorsports team. We got the twin carbs on and tuned in:

Motor runs awesome now! We are using Keihin PE28s. Loving this setup.

Car ran awesome at the last race and took home another W!

Pulled the holeshot and led the stockish SxS class including RZR, RZR S, a Rhino, and a Teryx.

Car will not be getting much before the next race, just clean, simple once over, and prep.

Here is the most recent video of the car with the M38 in it.

At this race we blew apart the tranny, and have since put in a newer, somewhat stronger one. We won the race last weekend, and are now leading points! Engine is coming out right now to get twin carbs.

Thanks again for all the ideas! It's nice to enjoy some of the responses you guys get when you tell people its a mower engine :)

It is not painted, that is bare, just cleaned well  8)

It has since gotten a little dirtier, and at one point was completely covered in gear oil.. not cool.  :bash:

I have attached a picture pointing to where we placed the hall sensor. In the little rib with 2 mini bolts through the holes in the sensor with 1" spacers on the bolts to get the correct placement on the flywheel. Hopefully the picture works

We have one on ours, we mounted it at the 9 o'clock position in the little rib. Used two 1"ish tubes as spacers to get it centered on the flywheel magnet. Sorry, no picture right now but hope it helps. I'll see if I can find a picture later.

Briggs OHV & Vanguard / Re: remote oil filter
« on: April 12, 2011, 08:05:47 am »
We use one on our M30 (not on a mower) because we don't have space for it because of our tranny position.  We also use an oil cooler with it, which most people don't run. We run ours because we have endurance type races, and need to keep the engine cooler.

I would run some type of filter, on the engine is ideal if you have the room. Oil cooler is probably not necessary.  Do you have a standard filter mount?

Here is another video of the car. Check out the rest of the videos posted by him (Chris, the car owner) enjoy the music!

First race is on Saturday in Attica, Indiana.  We are pretty much ready, final prep and packing tonight. Final clutch and engine tuning will be saturday morning.

We built an M38 last week as a 'just in case' backup. It is built very similar to the M30, just scaled in a few places.  It will be built again into a mod motor sometime after the first race.

First day out testing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPMUCdRQWGg

We have some clutch tuning to do, but the engine ran pretty good for its initial setup.  We weren't seeing the RPM range that we were hoping for, but we will get there.

First race is a week from yesterday, so this week will be busy with cleaning and prepping the car.  The race is at 5pm on saturday, so we will be testing and tuning all day saturday.  I'm so excited!

16hp block. 0.128" longer ARC rods. 0.061" shaved pistons. M38 heads. ~12:1 compression. M35 2 bbl carb. Comp cam. Removed governor. Electronically limited to 6500 rpm (thanks to Goeytex). ARC billet wheel. Heavy duty valve springs, pushrods, etc

Should run pretty good, first test in completed chassis form is today! Will be doing jet and clutch tuning for the first race April 2.

BTW, in some pictures you may see an M38 lingering in the background, plans are to build that time permitting after the first race.

I thought you would appreciate the buggy I have co-built with my friend Chris. 
It was originally built for the Baja SAE college competition.  Please check out the build thread at minibuggy.net

http://www.minibuggy.net/forum/projects-progress/13946-redesign-baja-sae-champion-vehicle.html

Thanks to all who have given influence and inspiration through your postings to help us with the engine build!
Please post thoughts and comments!

Briggs OHV & Vanguard / Re: Big valves?
« on: October 26, 2010, 07:38:43 pm »
Use 23 HP heads and Toyota valves,the valve is about the same diameter as the outside of the valve seat,the valve is longer and needs to be shortened and a new groove machined in it. That is the biggest valve

 you can use without replacing the valve seat.

Toyota valves huh?  Can you get some more information about which ones and the work involved?
