I managed to find a brand new 1987 5hp short block. I have pretty much everything I need except the blower housing. I would like a NARP powder coated housing. I have only been able to find them back east and the shipping cost is expensive. Anyone know where to get them out west?
You know the only damage to this engine was from it being tossed in the scrap bin. The cylinder head has a cracked fin as well. I may JB weld the blower housing tab and re-drill and tap it, or I might Tig it. Haven't decided yet.I bought a new head off Ebay for $10. These old Briggs don't get a...
I started cleaning up all the parts. Both these engines are in really nice shape the other one's a '94.

Did you call the store or email them ? I talked to a girl in Langley and she said they would rain cheque over the phone if they were out of stock. Anyways, I went down there and bought one. Now it can sit in the box collecting dust. Call them up.

American Powersport does sell chrome Wiseco pistons. What threw me was it states you use Raptor3 rings with them. I was under the impression chrome piston/chrome rings with kool bores. Michael is right, I read that the wrong honing stones will gall the cylinder walls. You have to use fine stones...
The Blue Wazoom did use a Zama. I found out a Zama carb is basically a Japanese made Tillotson. The parts on some interchange. Zama's come stock on Stihl Chainsaws as oscart mentioned ,a lot of trimmers etc, and for $20.00 off Ebay I like it.
Is the Zama LB-S9-81A the carb that came with the Blue Wazoom flatheads?The reason I ask is because I won this on Ebay today. I think it's slightly smaller. After some research I found out the b/w carbs were .870 venturi, and this one is .811 (20.6 mm). The b/w were set up for alcohol. I emailed...
