Briggs Flathead / 18 hp oppy frosting intake
« on: August 14, 2013, 12:27:05 am »
I have a stock motor except gov bypass and exhaust. Starts frosting to the point that it affects performance in non race conditions  . The exhaust uses stock size header pipes at least a foot long before going 2 into 1 with 2 inch pipe about 2 feet long. Is it more probable that I don't have enough restriction or possible Carb problem . Runs great till it starts freezing.

Driveline / A/P Huffy drive belt routing

  I've been seeing a lot of posts about huffy motor plates and lack of space. I know the Dbl pulley clutch is preferred but I found that the boomerang configuration works very well. This is what I have.
  1) Reverse the stock clutch so that it pushes.the belt towards the center instead of pulling out towards the frame.
2) On the opposite side from the clutch install a v ldler. When the belt is installed it will look like a boomerang shape. This will give good belt to pulley contact when fully engaged.
  I run a stock 8 hp motor with  3.75 front, a 3.25 rear pulleys and a 30 inch green belt and have more than 20 races on same belt. Pulley sizes maybe  have to be different for built engines.
   Hope this may help someone a bit.
