Burt Munro, John Britten, Eurodave all from the south lands what the hell is in the water down there, I got older in the Manawatu and only got half strength I think top work Dave, hope your pulling out of the earthquake(s) ok....
Hi eurodave, I have worked both briggs and kohler V-twins for a friend of mine who races lawn mowers and I am building a turbocharged liquid cooled 1000cc briggs to power a Harley Electra Glide with 6 speed Harley Transmission .2nd Build A 1936 Harley Davidson EL replica (1936 Harley EL=new parts) with powered by 1000cc Air cooled Briggs V-twin with worked heads ,Free flow intake and Higher compression of 10.5:1 (70hp at crank) and 3rd build is Ridley Autoglide who uses Kohler CH750 V-twin from factory. In this build we are installing stroker crank to raise displacement to 1000cc and also adding Tiny IHI turbo.
EURODAVE YOU HAVE DONE A PHENOMINAL JOB TO CREAT A PHENOMINAL BUILD/BIKE. PLEASE...USE FORGED PISTONS AND TITANIUM CONNECTING RODS . I HAVE SEEN ROUGHLY 10 KOHLER/BRIGGS ENGINES HOLE PISTONS AND/OR SNAP RODS IMMEADIATLY AFTER SUPERCHARGING/TURBOCHARGING. ONCE YOU HAVE INSTALLED FORGED PISTONS TITANIUM RODS YOU HAVE A DEPENDABLE, SMOOTH, POWERFULL V-TWIN WITH ..A TON.. OF BOTTOM END GRUNT.
EURODAVE I SENT YOU A PM OF SUPPLIERS OF KOHLER PERFORMANCE PARTS. tAKE CARE jAKE
Ps..TOO ALL.. Briggs & Stratton/Kohler V-Twins(and big 500cc singles) with forged pistons/rods are a good inexpensive power source for builds JUST REMEBER , Briggs/Kohler engines are inexpensive due to the use of low grade metal. They are reliable up to 100-115hp.
At 125hp+ you run a risk of the actual block splitting/cracking. They are great for Standard and Cruising bikes but not a good choice for Sportbikes/Race bikes.
Well Dave. You managed to humble me today, not to mention steal a couple of hours as I read the build from start to here. Where is it at? You have piqued the curiosity. When will we see you and Lois again?
