All of my experience is with clones because they are cheep and easy.
I recently bought a bike that has a Tecumseh 3.5.
The positioning of the intake places the carb and airfilter in really bad positions directly up on the fender.
The engine runs well but isn't made for a minibike ( i think it came off a snowblower because it has a plug-in electric start).
All i want to do is know
A) How to identify this engine (what do they go by when i search for parts)
B) Iv been seeing different intake manifolds available but none for the 3.5 ( i dont think at least). Something about a slanted manifold that putts the carb in a better position.
C) The exhaust port is threaded but i would like to put some kind of header on it. Do they make these basic hop up parts for the 3.5 and if so where?
Pics will be on shortly
Thanks for the help. I pretty much rely on you experts!
