Briggs Flathead / LMT carburetor throttle return spring
« on: November 30, 2012, 12:59:19 am »
Looking for a spring that fits on the throttle shaft of a Walbro LMT Model 28 to work as a return. Tried a few searches but nothing of value came up. Part numbers or pics would be tremendous!

Driveline / Gears in a Peerless 350
« on: July 11, 2012, 11:22:15 pm »
I am building a 350 for my newest mower and looking for some input. I have done a lot of reading and other research. I am swapping bushings to bearings, installing oil seals and removing reverse. I am also seeing if there can be improvments made to the internal gearing. I took gears from a 600 and came up with the following combo inside.

2nd has 25:30 gears
3rd  has 30:25 gears

My purpose is to be able to use the range of EC quick change sprockets. From the research I did changing the gearing would allow someone to be able to use the range of smaller drive sprockets currently available.

« on: June 23, 2012, 02:54:40 pm »
I am installing a new carb & fuel pump on my 8hp flattie, a lmt 69, and have couple of questions to make this easier. What size tap to use to plug the vent hole in the front? Where to drill the new vent hole in the back, pictures please.  :confused:  Its been explained to me on the phone but it just isn't clicking.   :oops:

« on: July 04, 2009, 03:36:14 am »
I read what it takes to convert a walbro carb to from a gravity fed to take a fuel pump.

1. modify intake for vaccum line - do able

2. install carb kit for a fuel pump - ?

Does anyone know what kit number that might be?

Chassis / Tranny placement?
« on: May 14, 2009, 01:31:47 am »
I'm putting a 700 trans. into my new chassis. I have always used a transaxle before so, I could use a little guidance please.

I need to layout where to put my trans plate. Is there a prefered distance or angle between the sprockets of the trans and the rear axle?

I have a 700-023, an EC 1 1/4 axle w/ sprocket, and  EC idler sprocket. There is also about a  2" vertical difference between them.

Tires / Greenball Tires?
« on: February 08, 2009, 11:47:43 pm »
Has or does anyone ever use Greenball Tires? I got to see one of their catalogs and they have a couple of tread patterns that look like they might play well in the dirt.

Driveline / Bigger pullies but the same ratio
« on: July 20, 2008, 08:17:46 pm »
Is there an advantage to running larger pullies while maitaining the same ratio?

i.e. having a 1:1 ratio and using 6" pullies vs. 5" pullies.

I'm running them into a 600 peerless transaxle. I tried a higher ratio (6:5) but it just killed it when trying to start.

USLMRA Races / Size of the tracks
« on: July 18, 2008, 09:08:30 pm »
I'm curious as to the dimension of the tracks in the different Association. The tracks here (Southwest Washington State) must be pretty small in comparsion. our straight aways are approx. 100 ft and about 30 ft in diameter in the corners. What else for track configurations are out there?

Briggs Flathead / ARC flywheel -8hp ?????
« on: July 14, 2008, 12:45:09 am »
2 Things-

1st - I'm having a problem whit the flywheel staying in place on the crank. It has messed up three keys. The first time I torqued the nut to 80 ft/lbs, the second to 100 ft/lbs as suggested by Don G. and this last time I went to 110 ft/lbs. It was also suggested to run a file on the crank to scuff it so it would grab. Any other suggestions. 

2nd - The tracks around here are pretty short in length and the winning drivers seem to have a lot of grunt coming out of the hole. I like the way motoring is spinning up (when it seems to be running right) but it has lost some on the bottom end. I was going to advance the timing 2 degrees. I started asking one of the other riders who had also gotten an ARC wheel and he had gone back to the iron flywheel because the inertia of the heavier flywheel gave him the better holeshot and grunt off the corners.  :confused:

Briggs Flathead / Adjustment on Walbro carb
« on: July 06, 2008, 09:41:10 pm »
What is the part number to the adjustment screw (if there is one) to the idle on the upper part of the carb? I got a carb from Don G. for my 8 hp and the  adjustment screw with the washer welded to it got bent. When I tried to ease it back it just snapped. I got a race coming up and I didn't plan for all of the delays. Any help?

Briggs Flathead / 8 hp Crank and Connecting rod
« on: February 29, 2008, 06:20:20 pm »
A little confused, I have an older 8 horse without the counter balance. I am going to purchase an ARC connecting rod really soon (as soon as I can contact Don). Since I don't have the counter balance means I shouldn't also get the brass weight. Then just have the crank balanced with the rod Correct?

George, I ordered an axle from you this last week and I'm hoping it will be here soon. In the mean time I'm layin' out the chasis and wanted to know the what is the exact  tube size for it. It looks like - 1x3.

Briggs OHV & Vanguard / Breathers
« on: November 26, 2006, 02:38:37 pm »
George - That is great picture of the carb in the post about the new parts post. Thanx. I noticed the crankcase breather behind it is fairly simple.
What are you using to go from the tin cover to the rubber hose?
Do you run that into a catch can?
I really appreciate the hep a lot!!
