It has Performance v twins long rods and piston combo, Performance v twins cam, nice set of 16 heads that have been cut, ported, Aluminum rockers, Rev kit, Aluminum ARC flywheel, Bumbed up carb, EC airfilter.

do u think its well worth the 600.00 ill try to get some pics

It is hard to tell the condition of the engine without seeing it, but just from the list of goodies that were installed on the engine I would jump on it for that kind of money.

That's a heck of a deal if it checks out! Sounds like someone set it up for racing of some sort. You won't have a charging system with that flywheel ....and you will probably need to run premium or better fuel, that thing is gonna have serious compression.

i did not no that about the charging part, so how would i keep my battery to keep charge ?

Flintrock · 01-16-2011, 08:25 AM

You would need to mount the starter/ gen back up from the old motor, or get an automotive alternator mounted and working. That means getting a pulley on the PTO somewhere, probably on the fan side. Not easy to do. Or charge the battery all the time. Makes running lights or other accessories difficult......Or put a stock Briggs flywheel and charging unit back on it, the seller probably still has it.

For racing not having a charging circuit is no big deal and that aluminum flywheel spins up very quickly, for everyday use it's a pain....

I agree the parts alone are worth that.

ill be getting it soon :) he is a mechanic/builds engines for racing so i had him rebuild it to the stock flywheel and charging system to keep my battery's fresh. im going to mod my cart to take 2 battery's to run this engine and all my lights/under lights

Just make sure the stock flywheel can handle the rpm it will run, clones this is a big problem the magnets fly out but B&S are better, but I don't know much about their flywheels.
