I am currently running a Gteam built 31cid and have done very well this season.    I am looking to upgrade to ECs roller rockers this winter.    What performance changes should I expect?   Will the valve lash be easier to adjust and will it stay more consistent?    What about the valves, should I change them out as well or leave what Don has on there?

Someone told me they saw some signs up about racing around around Rogersville, TN.   Anybody on here know of it?   Sure would like some more info.

I have heard of and seen some pictures of a what I was told is a Browning H-series Hub&Pulley.  What I saw looked like the hub "clamped" onto the input shaft of a tranny or an output shaft of engine for that matter and the pulley attached to the hub by two bolts.  This looked like a great setup rather than just a clip.  I have searched the web and came up with a Split taper bushing but I don't see how it attaches to the shaft nor can I find any pulleys that attach to it.  If anyone has any guidance or additional help I would very thankful.   Just for the record I need the hub for a 5/8"Ø shaft. 

What is the consensus on running 110 octane fuel?  Just to be clear it is legal at this race and for clarification I'm running a built 31OHV single that turns 6K.  I didn't know if anything needed to be done additional above what already has been done to the motor/carb or if they are benefits at all with running 110. 

A lawnmower race is scheduled for Monday, September 8 @ 7pm as part of the Washington County Fair in Abingdon, VA.  I just became involved with coordinating this race within the last month or so because the board of directors over the fair came VERY close to cancelling the event all together due to lack of participants (about 10 or so).  I know it is a Monday night that is not ideal for me either but I'm just playing the cards I'm dealt and I need some help.  If anyone out there is interested or know of other mowers please let them know.  I have contacted Rebels & Rednecks in NC and Pam is going to check with some of her racers.  Please help me show them how many mowers they have here local.   I have done a lot of "shoveling" and they have told me IF I can get a good showing at the fair that they would give me a Saturday evening/night for just mowers next year during the year aside from the fair.  The track is less than 2 miles off of Interstate 81 very easy to find and not way out in the woods somewhere.   Thanks guys for your help and support, I need all I can get.  Never done this before but sometimes you just got to step up if you want to keep racing. My info is in my profile if you would like to get in touch with me.

I am a recent convert from a B&S engine.  I done some horse trading for a 17.5 OHV Tecumseh with the understanding I need to work on the starter.  The starter drags and I would like to rebuild.  my question is am I wasting my time and money putting a brush card in it or should I just go ahead and purchase a new starter.
