I may be able to help with this. If I can remember where I put all the disks I'll send you one.  I'll get back to you on it.

This one was worth bringing this back up.

That's just a short drive for me. It might be worth it to run over there to point at it, laugh and ask, "WTH were you thinking?" :lol: :noplease: :roll: :bash:

I use a Velcro seat cover for "Rear" traction.
I can only imagine what that would sound like getting off the seat! :omg: :omg: :omg: :omg:

Honda and Clone Engines / Re: How hard would this be?

Thanks guys. I didn't think it would be simple, but at the same time knew there had to be more than one individual that has done it.

How difficult would it be to get a GX390 to rev to 8,000 rpm with stock size valve seats?

Tires / Re: White Wall

I thought about a finding a 1960's mower and give it a patina paint job and white walls. Everyones mowers look too "pretty" sometimes.. LOL

I would love to find an old school painter to hand letter on my hood :)
I like this idea. I don't like maintaining shiny stuff.

If it's not unloading the left rear tire, widening the rear track won't help.

Never seen that last name before. Try Google and see what pops up.

Coffee Shop / Re: Steel Billet Flywheels

You want to hear what one sounds like without a flywheel?  here you go ;) check out the yellow MWSC outlaw mower from two years ago.

It worked, but not having a ring gear was a pain and it was too violent to touch the throttle in the corners. Its much easier to drive with the flywheel, resulting in faster lap times.
Also yes the drag racers and pullers need the inertia more then we do, but we still need some.
I've watched that video in the past, many times. Showed it to many people too. I wouldn't have guessed it didn't have a flywheel though. It doesn't look like it's easy to drive in the straights either. Makes perfect sense now, how it pulled the other mowers like a freight train. :badgrin: Sounds wicked nasty! :woo:

VERY VERY GOOD Jon! that is a excellant post! The only problem with no flywheel is there will be very little inertia and will stall VERY easy. I understand It's alot of money but the other options are not options!
Make a heavy pulley to help with inertia. Something else worth considering, is the lack of a wheel would have some effect on vibration dampening or lack thereof. I'd like to hear one rev though. :omg:

Check out this part number - 019160N. It's a Nissan forklift starter. Flat mount, gear reduction and CW rotation. I have a NIB unit, that I've held onto for close to 6 years now, that I was going to do the same thing with, but never got around to it. If it's a viable option, it's possible you could find one really cheap. ;)

I've worked on golf carts from several makes and years and never saw one with a transaxle.

Briggs Flathead / Re: Max torque @ ? Rpms

It seems like I saw somewhere that peak torque was around 2800 and the horse power peak was 3600.
