Hmm i think the one in there MAY be more powerful as i think its a 16/18HP Briggs & Straton, which im sure we could "modify" and up the power a bit

Titsy · August 30, 2006, 05:31:30 PM

Not as easy as all that mate.....

You have to pick up an ECU to run that injector and fit a load of sensors for it to run....

The engine was built to run with a carb, don't mess with is, just complement it.....

need to lower it and lighten aswell as rework the motor, need further investigation of the regs tommorrow

EDGE · August 30, 2006, 06:30:46 PM

you can do a shed load of work to those.. i'd be up for some serious roll centre lowering. If you can drop the theoretical roll centre below the C of G you can corner at RIDICULOUS rates....

Ian... you got any more pics fella.....
