ut:
i like these trikes, but personally hate the briggs, unreliable in my opinion. i would either look for a honda 9 or better or a harbor freight 13.5 electric start clone. something with lights and accesory power for a winch. and be able to pull whatever trailer without strain. the TAV tahts on there should be fine to handle the motor.
also, with all that space around the rear axle, i would run a higher large axle on a jack shaft, and 1:1 small sprockets between that and the axle. give you more gearing options and higher clearancea at the axle

The Briggs seems to run good so were probably not ganna change it out now. But I know what ya mean about unreliable I had the same engine on a ward's trike and always had carb problems. Never did get it running right. His seems to pull hard when ya get on it and It already has a lighting coil on it and a flywheel with the starter teeth and I have a starter laying around I told him he could have to make it electric start. Just need a battery and the wiring off a riding mower.
