this is the easy part. the hard part is the transmission. i hope this bike didnt cop out with a torque a verter like so many "briggs motorcycles" do. I hope this one gets a real clutch and a british transmission to make it right.
@bulletman100 .Thanks for your interest. At present engine is now fitted with an auto clutch off a Honda engined wood-chipper ( see video part 3 &4) and is single speed,via a jack-shaft to rear wheel. I have BSA box i am going to extend the shaft on to get a wider spacing between a standard clutch and the gearbox cog (to get rear wheel alignment).
@BikerTrashWolf Hi, thanks for query...yes standard carb on a homemade 90degree inlet stub.This has not caused any problems. Runs fine,tick-over fine. A bloody crackin engine...cheers

How many horsepower did it have? and did you have to move the oil pickup tube or mod the engine majorly?

@mickeyblue256 I have always wondered if a v-twin brigs could be rotated! did you build a new intake to reuse the stock carb?

Is that an Intek on its side? Mounting looks like a vertical shaft.
