It was under license from b+s Briggs made that engine from 60 to about 82 . Use a fuel shutoff on the down draft carb, You can turn 3600rpms with it if you go above that it likes to crack pistons Been in the buss, for 55+ years doing small engines Have fun Geist Wulf Cycle Werks
Definitely use the actual motorcycle fuel tank, but without Kawersaki labels, and matt black, you could make an awesome exhaust for it, but make sure you use 30w oil 🤗
Hey Oliver, how feasible is something like this built around a Kawasaki FR730V-500 or a Kawasaki FS600V (Riding/commercial lawn mowers)? Please let me know as i have both of these and am planning on building my own trash bike. Thanks man! Your videos are inspiring!
tire bad for fitting, true rim good for fitting. If you can take the wheels off and reset your jig to check it you might want to. Rims give more of a precision measurement/reference.
Coming along pretty good 👍 That’s rad you got that old engine running well. I kind of like the Kawasaki tank but really ether will be good. Looking forward to seeing your next video!
Dang the Kawasaki gas tank certainly modernize it and that’s not a bad thing, but that vintage look you’re speaking of me quite good tooo! Darn I’m also torn😅😂
So some year back I got a go-kart with an 8hp Briggs and stratton. it was missing the intake carburetor and muffler. I built an intake and header pipe for it with a motor cycle carburetor. The intake was a straight pipe with the same i.d. as the intake port. It really woke the old heavy motor up. It ended up being really fast.
Take off the badge on ether sides of the tank and paint it whatever color you want to go with, maybe army green, with the star on both sides of the tank, but make it all look vintage.
could use an old heinz ketchup can as a fuel tank? they hold near a gallon... have to eat it all first... if that one is the same size as one i have, it is a 310cc right? an old Sears rototiller engine.
Difficult choice with the gas tank, the kawasaki has a nice shape, but looks too new. Maybe make it a little "older" Fun to follow your engine builds, you have humor and knowledge. /Per Lidberg Sweden
@OliverMotorized oh wicked. Just be careful with the paperwork, I got a moped from out of state with a signed title (the title has other problems besides being out of state) and it, being a moped, was never inspected when the title was issued so now not only does the vin need verified, it also needs to pass inspection before I can register it. I was thinking to just hobble it together and run it illegally till someone said something.
