Briggs 5hp w/ generator crank question.

[Steve Albright]

I have a 5hp Briggs engine and I removed the generator to find the crank doesn't have a keyway slot and the end of the crankshaft end is tapered about an inch from the end. Is there some way I can use a sprocket with a locking collar or something so I can use the engine in a mini bike or trike?

Just swap the crank

I do have another 5 hp Briggs I guess that will have to be the solution.

just the easiest .... unless there is a good reasonable machine shop local
