First Run For The Big Twin

[CowsXonXcrack]

fuck i could catwalk that thing better than my quad

[TheDailyRon]

Cool vid. Sounds good. Just subbed :)

[themundayman]

i have the sameish tractor with a 18 hp twin cylinder brigs in it runs so nice, i just have to put a new starter in it when i crank the engine, it sounds like the battery is dead so i put a new battery in it and charged it, and still the same, i dont want to spend $100+ on a toy, so until it stops working it stays, just thought id share that with everyone :P

[Briggsmaster]

i got the same one ill make a vid of it i got no exhaust on it workin on it just comein straight out the cylinder

[cbsouthrange]

what kind of engine and how much horsepower?

[handymann3]

i i am thinking of buying the same engine but in 14hp nut the only thing is that its propain :( even still i want to buy it and swich it over. its a really good price but i cant find a gas carburator for it, actualy i cant find any parts. could u help he find the part? do u know where i could get one?

[gx200honda]

sounds nice, u shud put it on a racing kart man! ;) have a look at my kart vid, tell me what u think :)

[racedriver52]

yo man u gota a throttle cable or pedal hooked up

[wayne205stevens]

Nice! put that on ur goped! lol :)

[bigandrich22]

you really need to put a new vid so we can see it running and driving

[powerbandthriller495]

wicked nice

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

lol sounded like a big V-8 engine.... and sounds nice too, you should run 2 straight pipes upward

[bfd811]

Is that thing really loud?

[kevjones93]

i have that same engine goin on a go kart. im just not sure how to gear it to the tranny....

[82agwayldt11]

I got a Briggs 18hp opposed twin and it sounds a lot like that.

[KartMan250]

thats cuz its the same motor, lol.

mines says 19hp but thats bullshit its still the same briggs 42ci block.

[briggsracer12hp]

thats because it is an opposed twin cylinder L-head engine, not a V twin...

[crapgeey]

sounds like a crappy car

[enfieldpolice]

like a old VW bug HAHAH

[mitteey]

is there a voltage regulator on that engine?

[KartMan250]

yep, and a diode to convert ac lamp coil current into dc charging current, and to prevent the battery from draining back through the coil while not running...

[mitteey]

when you put a regulater on the engine the lights on the tracter stay the same consistant brightness right? what store can you buy yhe diode and the regulator from?

[KartMan250]

um i guess try ur local lawnmower shop and ask for a "kohler type regulator", the diode idk.

[paulbreor]

you can use a regulator from a motor cycle

try going to a local motor bike shop and ask for a 12v regulator/

[mitteey]

do you know store you can buy the regulator and diode from? when a voltage regulator is on the engine the voltage stays consistant right

[mitteey]

do the head lights stay consistant

[KartMan250]

yup

[mitteey]

where i the regulator located on the engine?

[1skiinIan]

nice, chek out my B&S opposed twin. I want to make a louder exaust on mine too.

[willibubba42]

i have that same twin motor but the intake is broke

[fordwillkillyou]

hey hows that coming? get it to put out 26hp yet? how fast do you go now you should post a video

[KartMan250]

well, rite now its out for paint:( but now that its warm out:) as soon as i get it back ima get lots of vids (aswell as MANY other vehicles too!)

[jamesb1221222]

what kind of exaust is that?? it sounds nice. beller than my crappy 18hp...

[KartMan250]

ahaha, well, at that point of the build i was running no headers but i dont reccomend it because you can burn up your exhaust valve(s). i wuz just running it for testing purposes only, now i have some pipes on it. it does sound cool tho

[adb140275]

i would LOVE to have an opposed twin

[gasman7777]

nice i have a 19hp on my mower except my mower is a murray. its a little big but its nice.

[mglax7]

wat did u do to it

[CapeCodFarmer]

ought to make a movie driving it around your yard, looks like it will get to a pretty decent speed

[KartMan250]

yea im gonna once i get some snow

[Fixitalls]

Gotta love the sound of the twin cyl engines

[KartMan250]

yea theyre pretty mean, i wonder what it would sound like with step or megaphone pipes haha

[jungetracin]

hey i have the same kind of motor but i always have trouble with starter gears. do you?

[KartMan250]

haha, yea! it just eats em left & right! so far im on my 3rd and i havent even had the motor very long! i wish it had a metal gear like the vanguards. but atleast they are pretty universal so getting them is easy.

[kingyamaha966]

wat do u do with the old motor

[KartMan250]

ah i sold it, needed the money for transmission parts

[tractorsrule01]

is that a racing lawn mower

[KartMan250]

yep. people say 45-50 but from driving it id say 40

[redmand18]

that is the same motor i have on mine

[ESKG1310]

Purdy cool.

[kjlong420]

What the??? That is a bad ass machine. Is that ytour lawn mower or what? I dont mean to be ignorant but if that thing cuts lawns and sounds and runs like that holy shit.

[turrco07]

damn that has a bad ass cackle sound to it. Nice work.

[reffup]

niiice..... so ive seen al your videos.. haha.. im likin this one... i got an old mastercraft rider.. its in pretty rough shape but its super low to the ground and really quite long.. im gonna mod it up for a big twin pretty similar to yours... hope it sounds as good :P... got anything else done thus far? should update

[kasjv]

i have four briggs l head 18 hp motors like that but black runs very good and they r for sale cheap and i have a vanguard 14 hp v twin engine i need help on not getting gas i checked the fuel pump and cleaned carb and hooked up the electric silanoid but wount stay running if i put eaitherin it it runs for a few secounds can any one help me on this proublem ?

[dangeroustoys56]

Im using a 18HP twin briggs on my 94 Murray - currently ive used the stock pipes w/o the muffler- it points it down and out the front , right under the hood- idles nice n smooth - just have to hook my foot throttle up. At the moment- its hitting the mid 40mph mark.

[KartMan250]

yea, mine likes to surge alot in idle. (not once i remove the governor!)

[colbycarr]

hey i had a twin just like that but i didnt idle right s so i gave it away  plus i put desil in it i nevre liked those twin cylinders but urs seems to run ok

[nrp2oo9]

Sweeeet i wanna hear that tank with the pipes!!

[KartMan250]

thanks, i just finished makin some pipes, im gonna post a vid now

[TractorKid7]

sounds awesome!

[nrp2oo9]

ohh i didnt know that, thats sweeettt

[KartMan250]

not really, most of the time you only have to worry about burning the exhaust valves on the 5 horse horizontal motors

[nrp2oo9]

nice, you wernt afraid of smokin a valve or anything running open heads like that?

[MotorolaBobV710]

I can get a 16 hp flat for $200. I GOT to bargain them down a bit. Thats what I need for my next project. Sounds awsomwe.

[KartMan250]

thanks man, i had it running befor, but it was boggin out when u hit the throttle, but i richened it up a bit and now it runs like a champ

[nrp2oo9]

finally sucess  haha sounds damn good too dude!! well done
