| i have a 2007 chraftsman that origonally came with a 21 or 22 hp briggs v-twin ohv sence i have done 2 engine swaps and i found the engine i like i went to a 17 hp briggs and dint like the way it ran so i went to the old kohler commant which is a 14 horse...runs great just needs some carb work...put some new tires on it i had laying around (still regualr lawnmower tires but on the trail they work great) the steering arm that connect the 2 tires i have custom made out of forged steel which was a pain in my ass...currently do not have ANY belt keepers but its been runing like that for 2 years now and have yet to have a problem but its also still in the build stage....so far thats about all ive done to it beside just change small little parts...and im still running stock transmission and i will be till i break it | |

| I don't think V twins were around in the 70s. In the 70s they were putting in little 8-11hp Briggs, then in the 80s opposed twins came round. | |

| Subject: a few ideas for my trail tractor October 20th 2016, 1:24 pm | |
| okay i have a 14 horse kohler should i put a 15 or 16 horse kohler carb on the the engine for more power and should i install a fuil pump??? also how would i mount the new pully (for now im going with a 6.5 inch instead of my 9 inch but i wanna keep the 9 inch on it being it has the teeth for the trans) i know if i go smaller i would have to instal a new tentioner pully and i wanna be able to switch between the 2 pullys for different things i might be doing...and should i snorkle it or no??? i have an origonal exhaust moddified to fit on the tractor (cut it and rewelded it so it would fit the angle) i cut the muffler around the pipe off and left the origonal pipe there is that okay or should i remodify it?

| I can't help with a whole lot there, but I believe your engine already has a fuel pump. If its the same engine i have it does anyway. I don't think a new carb will do much for it if the governor is still intact. Bigger carbs actually hurt low end performance. They only help higher in the rpm range. | |
