Efficiency/Reliability of Small Light engines
Sooo... maybe theres a thread or two somewhere about this. Motorcycle/scooters is helpful in that particular category, but i haven't found too much discussion about "regular" 1-2 cylinder gas/diesel engines. Like those that one would use for a Go-cart or (Horizontal shaft) Mowers, and industrial work machines, to use for various projects.
Has anyone done a project from a relatively puney "5HP=196cc Briggs&Stratton" or a larger/similar type engine here?
One thing i do know, is that maintenence is a consistant chore, and the Carburators suck and are utterly poor performers. But what if you were to replace them with better Carbs used from small displacement scooters/motorcycles for better tuning of engine power and fuel performance??
Where would be a good place to purchase these Engines alone? Anyone know of credible/cheap online sources?
