whats wider, briggs 5hp or honda gx200?

[azndude3141]

cuz i might put one of those on my cat 250x. will it be too wide and make the bike unevenly weighted?

The Honda or it's clone are wider I believe, a 5hp briggs is quite tall though and may in fact be too tall for the 250X. I have never checked my 300X to see if one of my five'ers will fit. I'm putting a 3hp briggs in mine to keep it somewhat original but a bunch of power in a tiny frame might be fun!:thumbsup:

Something else to think about is that either one may interfere with the scrub brake foot lever.
