well, im a cheap @$$ so im going to "borrow" the flex disc system off my cub cadet and use it on dixie, hopefully ill get her going in the next week or so....going do use stretch's way of fixing the starter to, so it might be about to get the 18 back, which raises the question of, should i use a kohler or should i use a briggs, the briggs im used to working on, but the kohler has pressurized oil.....

it has alot of torque Razz, now i got to buy a starter lol and runn a exhaust(just to try it i did it with out pipes at all)
P.S DONT EVER CRANK YOU MOTOR FOR MORE THAN A FEW SECONDS WITHOUT EXHAUST PIPES AS IT WILL RUIN YOUR VALVES.

Actually, that valve thing is nowhere near as much of a threat as it's made out to be...

You can eventually (note eventually) suck a valve but the biggest issue is the extreme lack of backpressure causing it to run really crappy if it even starts. Otherwise, really no threat at all.

SUCK a valve??? Who the heck told you this? There's a very minimal chance of thermal cycle warping, but very minimal...

Regarding back pressure (again)... with no exhaust, you lose scavenging. Aside from the slight efficiency loss (and related jetting issue) you should have NO PROBLEM starting and running an engine with an open exhaust. I do it very frequently when I'm working on them.

105lb wow lucky my oppy is 130 something .-. and for your mufflers i would run them out the rear get like 1" pipe for the headers to the front of the foot rest then get some 3" tube and run it from that 1" all the way out the rear Very Happy that will give it a nice deep rumble at idle and at max throttle she will be screaming lol
