Reo

[JohnnyTillotson]

Picked up this REO. I know they are not very powerful but I love their quasi-2 stroke look. It's got the flat gas tank not pictured. Very reliable from what I've heard.

Anyone know how this one compares to the one I have on this reel mower?

I do want to put them in mini's or karts. I think they would be perfect for my lil guys.

I think the one you have might of come with a round tank on it. Mine did. I will send you a pic later.

I bought it with the same tank as the one on the mower. It's older if it has no recoil. So it wouldn't surprise me if it had a round tank.

Nice looking motors. I don't know if they would work on a Minibike. Output shaft is the cam shaft that turns at half the speed of the crankshaft.
. I don't know if they would spin fast enough for a centrifugal clutch.

I've heard that a few times yet I read about people having used them on karts when they were young and how great it was. So I have no idea if it'll work. Certainly they do spin the wrong way. Some had the gear reduction but not these models.
