I picked this tank up over a year ago with plans to use it on a survivor engine I've got. I found a good quality survivor tank that matches so I won't be using this one. I think it's been lined with Caswell's. Some minor pitting in the metal, but should be a good candidate for restoration $30...

I am getting a new intake for my Briggs and Stratton 5hp Motor. I have found 2 new intakes that will fit my tecumseh carb. One is a tillotson metal carb intake for $45 and the other one is a No-Name plastic one for $3. Does anybody know which one is better?

Predator 212cc filled with Rotella T5 oil for its initial running. I have changed the oil 3 times now within 30 minutes of run time between each. The metal slurry has lessened, but there is still a good amount. I know I shouldn't expect too much from a 95.00$ engine, but is what I'm seeing...

I have two coils here for the Briggs 5HP engines. Both are supposed to be armature coils, meaning no points needed. One has a metal leg to sense the magnet and the other does not. Can someone help me understand why? I was told that the coil without the metal leg is the hotter coil for the later...

I purchased this NOS frame from George (Mountain Man) a few years ago and finally started working on it a couple of weeks ago. It just needed some light sanding on the frame to get it to bare metal. I primed the frame in white and then went with an older metal flake blue with three coats of...

Hi all, I'm new to owning 4hps, but have read that they have a smaller stroke, and higher compression than 5hps. I have brought this 4hp for 40 bucks NZD ($28 USD). I was wondering if these were rare? It looks to be a silver motor which I read were good. I'll have model numbers when I...

I'm in the process of restoring a Cat 250. I ordered the rear sprocket but its bare metal. Should I paint it? any specific rattle can paint? or different type? Thanks

Been meaning to ask this for a while. What brand of rattle can have you guys had luck with getting the old school metal flake look out of, or is it even remotely possible beyond a regular metallic? Powder coating can't go that direction as far as I have seen, and I know originally it was...

Awhile back one one you guys suggested mixing acetone with something for a finish on metal, I think it may have been linseed oil. It worked great and I need to do it again, can you refresh my memory? Thanks What I am looking for is a finish that will harden but not look shiny, that I can...

Ok so I touched on this in my project thread but I know that isn't the place for questions. I bought a 12" rear wheel on ebay to replace the 10" in. the bike came with and it came with axle, bearings and spacers. Plus those oblong washer looking things with the tabs sticking out. When I...
