Now you know why I said it needed to be turned down:thumbsup: still worth having it done for that price.

That would be 151.36 shipped to my door for a brand new engine,helluva good deal.

Thanks for the heads up, Texasfabguy! :thumbsup:

I couldn't resist such a sweet deal, got mine on the way.

A little lathe and mill work and then something to bolt it into
like an old Gote or Heald.

Even if you had no way to turn down the crank, for that money it's still a good deal to hold onto it and find a crank to swap out later....

 

[texasfabguy]

Isn't the HH100 about the same size as the 5hp briggs?

Nope, much larger:thumbsup:

Fixed speed carb? Other than that and the crank issue, that's a great deal on a new motor:thumbsup:

looks like the base is the same size thats why I ask.is it shorter or taller than a 8hp briggs?

I thought a 5hp briggs was like 15" or 15 1/2" tall? The specs on this motor in the add says that the size is Size 12" x 13-1/2" x 13", thats shorter then a 5hp briggs.

My HM80 is WAY bigger than my 5HP Tec. I don't have any briggs to compare to.

Well I wish I knew for sure.I just picked up a Bronnco and it has a gx200 in it. My sons Bronnco we had to mill the head down on the top right to the fins and run shorter head bolts. I was hoping I did not need to do the same with the Tec. Is the HH100 the base for the Star engines?
10hp out of the box sounds better than a clone with a bunch of mods to make 10hp. Plus it a flathead! just would look more appropriate in the bike.

I have posted about this motor before. That surplus is 30 mins from me:thumbsup:

 

[minibikedude]

Not a bad deal if you could find a different crank for it.

Hey gang,

My engine arrived today. Looks to be an HM100, 358cc's.

I got out my tape measure and a straightedge and did a height measurement.

It's 12.5" to the top of the headbolts, 13.25" to the top edge of the muffler and 13.5" to the top of the plug wire.

For comparison, my 7hp Briggs is 13.5 to top of the headbolts and 15" to the top of the plug. As I recall, the 6,7 and 8hp Briggs are the same. I don't know what a 5hp Briggs measures.

The Tec IS a wider engine than the Briggs, looks to be about an inch wider from the drive side motor mount bolt to the case edge.

Here are a few shots. In the last pic, I'm holding calipers set to .750" to show where the crank will end when turned down to 3/4". This .750 datum is 3.75" from the case seal and 2.625" from the end of the 1.375" diameter.

Anyone need more measurements, just holler!:smile:

 

[70sVintageTrikes]

Im picking up 1 or 2 next week.

Also I will be taking them apart and turning cranks down....:grind:

Thank you,that's what I wanted to know. I can make this fit way easier than the 8hp briggs we put in my son's bronnco. His 8hp briggs is 305cc and is tall as your 7hp.
