Briggs Flathead / Super-racer air cleaner recommendations
« on: February 12, 2014, 03:36:02 pm »
I've a 42A Oppy Briggs, stock carb, and I'd like to have a whiz-bang, snazzy racer air cleaner for it....velocity stack, or something. Have you any advice on specific items and where to get them? Thanks.

Driveline / Peerless transaxle stupid reassembly tricks
« on: June 16, 2011, 06:44:22 pm »
When you put your 930 series transaxle back together, the cases should drop right together. This happens easily if you remember the little tags on the bearings on the gearshafts. They fit into little machined corners. If you turn the bearings so the little tags fit into those corners, your case goes together very nicely. If not, you wonder why you have 1/16" gaps and try to force it or otherwise struggle.   Put the little tags in the corners, and you have no gaps and need not use lots of force.

If you'd have done that two weeks ago, you'd not be so stressed out about reassembling your transaxle 2 days prior to raceday, like I am...  :doh:

Briggs Flathead / Intake help
« on: March 13, 2008, 09:40:21 pm »
I'm looking for an upgrade to my intake.  Stock 42 cube opposed, stock carb. I'm looking for parts to make it both good looking and a better breather.  Most folks think the carb flows well enough, so maybe if you've tips on a cool air cleaner, or hood scoop, or 12v blower made from a hair dryer, or exhaust driven blower made outa an old vacuum cleaner and a mower pulley, I'd really appreciate the help and ideas. 

Cheers.

Briggs Flathead / Rusty flywheel
« on: February 16, 2008, 05:21:53 pm »
Any tips on removing a rusty flywheel on a 42 opposed without the Briggs tool?  If the briggs tool makes the difference, any tips on where to get it?

Briggs Flathead / An email I sent Gienger
« on: February 07, 2008, 01:16:45 am »
Well, I'm a drag racer guy, not a circle track guy like you crazies.

I bought Don Gienger's video, and sent him an email like this. No, I have no interest, just a cussed satisfier, er....well, you get it...

Don;

I got your DVD yesterday (mighty fast service!!!) and found the answers to my email questions in the video. Thanks for sending it out, thanks for emphasizing in the video a guy doesn't need a whole machine shop to make these motors work, thanks again. I think I'll try and buy a flywheel this year, and do the can and a fuelpump mod. Good luck on your bypass, I'm heading at it from the other end it seems. Thanks again

Anyway, I  bought his DVD, no it isn't professionally produced, but yes, it seems to have a lot of tips for a wide range of needs for this motor, and best of all he doesn't assume you have a mill and a whole machine shop  at your disposal.  Is it cheap?  It doesn't look like it...Does it require a fortune?.... no, it's not there either, and he emphasizes longevity and reliability over quick HP.  The DVD showed up quick, the email came back quick too.

I don't see anybody getting rich off of mower racing, none of us need to do this to make a living...but Don seems to understand folks need service. I'll patronize him again.

FWIW.

Does anyone see any acceleration gains from installing offset keys in 42 inch opposed?  Which one do recommend?
