~ETC~

what kind of results do you want?

more power?

more rpms?

ulmra sites have tons of info

just search ulmra or us lawn mower racing association

find a forum ans ask how and what you can do in your garage to build a more powerful engine than what its rated .

i would link all the stuff but i now realize that is all on my laptop and the power cord for it is missing so i haven't any way to charge it up.

Chuck and Virginia at Vogels can make you a cam for it

For the flat head there's not as much as for a V in the Briggs

http://www.performancevtwins.com/ They might have some thoughts too

We made a stainless two into one stack for ours and used a 18hp carb and plastic riser on the carb. Next step was to hone the intake, our airdraw will frost the tubes on a 80 degree day.

Good luck on the twin carb set up , I never had good luck with mulit-carbs balancing

has always been an issue. I have always felt that one big carb was better.

As far as beefing up a motor, You will get the most bang for the buck by, first

a stroke on the rod/flywheel, next a bigger carb, last a cam.

I have found that larger pistons, and valves make little difference, and don't do

much until you get to the high end of the rpm range. :thumbs:
