I'm swapping out a Tecumseh 3.5 H35 for a Honda 5.5 GX160 on my Murray mini bike. The Honda had to be mounted farther to the right to make everything line up. The balance is now off with more weight on the right side. How will that affect how it drives? I will, I think, have to extend the foot...

I have a modified 6.5 clone with all of the usual AGK parts and now it's time to select a clutch, I would like to hear opinions, experiences, etc, regarding different clutches. I kinda lean towards the Max-Torque Draggin Skin right now because of simplicity and lower price, but the Horstman...

I bought an MTD today at a car show. I paid $140.00 for it, which I thought was fair?? Anyhow, I have a ton of questions. Is this model MTD (anyone know what year this was made?) plentiful enough that I won't be forever cursed on this forum if I extend the frame and add a little more rake to...
