raptor

So I got a raptor with an older race kart, and I swapped it out for a clone. I want to utilize this motor in a new mini project, but it's a tight fit. Would it be okay to mount it on an angled plate (like the on on my kart)? Are there benefits? Would it require more oil since it is angled?

The Briggs illustrated parts list for the Raptor 3, (5HP),shows a part number of 555076 for both the Int. and Ex. valves. Yet I have come across a Briggs motorsports valve spring with a part number of 555060 on the box. Was there a part number change from Raptor one to Raptor 3? Should'nt the...

Hi guys. I am in the middle of two project bikes. One has a brand new (old stock) Raptor 1 and the other has a slightly modded briggs flathead. Just need some help on buying clutches & chains for them. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Rick

I got this bike for my son a couple of years ago. I did a bunch of work last summer and will complete the bike this spring. I took several pics along the way so i figured I'd post the build. This is how it looked when I got it, custom bucket clutch cover and all. He was happy enough...

Hi guys, just picked up this brand new B&S Raptor. Got it from and old guy who had bought several of these from an estate auction. First question . Where can I get a recoil pull starter assembly for it? Note in pics the output shaft is round , so I am not sure if I need a diff shaft. Also can...

Two questions about my briggs flathead. First one: I took side cover off to remove governor. There are no bearings anywhere(bearings that go over rod and seat in side cover) Were the some briggs that didnt come with them? Second one: I have attached a pic , can I or should I remove the paint on...

Picked up a Raptor and a Blockzilla for a mini bike. Went through the Raptor and she is ready to be put on a bike. Need to find a pull starter for the motor which is 1994. What type should I be looking for?

Has anyone ever done this? I'm building a block that has already been clearanced for a .450 stroker crank so I'm wondering if its worth putting the extra work in to get the bigger crank.

I found a NOS never fired Raptor for 175 bucks. Is that a good buy? It would be used in a vintage racing kart but not raced....just for fun. Depending on gearing, how fast could the cart go with no engine mods? Thanks!

Hi guys, I bought a new in box stock Raptor carb and I was looking at it today and noticed that it has a threaded hole in the bottom of the carb, which looks to be for if you are running a stock style Briggs air filter to put the bolt through and screw into. The problem is that I will be using...

Hey guys, a while ago I got a raptor carb built for me. The guy bored it out to .750 and made a slot where the metering holes used to be. He told me that I can still use that carb for a gas application. The problem is I can't seem to get it adjusted right to make my kart run as it should. People...
