Time for more power out of 18HP briggs

[snorth88]

It comes with a low profile X-2 cleanable air filter(similar to a K&N). You remove the stock air cleaner housing.
Check out the pic and description at eccarburetors.com.

Did it wake up the 18 hp motor ?

[snorth88]

It sure does,

I started with a Hi rev kit w/timing advance key, disabled the governor, thin metal head gaskets(for increased compression), removed exhaust restrictors from exhaust manifold and welded a larger outlet onto the stock muffler with a 1.5" tailpipe. These less expensive mods made the machine much more enjoyable to drive, better throttle response and power, with increased top speed due to higher rpm capability(30mph on flats at 4700 rpm)
Start with those...even with just these it wakes up the stock, restricted briggs, you'll be happy you did. Then when you can afford it , get the 2 barrel setup to complement the other mods....it's the icing on the cake. For me I don't think I need anymore power for the type of riding I do.

That guy in lockport had that posted on craigslist. It's only about 20 minutes from my house. His craigslist add didn't say he had intake also or I would have bought it when he posted it about a year ago. Think i'm going to message him again. haha

snorth88. You get the high rev kit with just the valve spring spacers or did you get the one that actually has stiffer springs? and from where?

[Nubs]

theres guys out there lookin' for propane carbs so i'm sure ya could resell it and recoop some money.

[snorth88]

I got the rev kit with the spacers.....but did not use them, I purchased the stiffer springs seperate. Everything came from Cartpartsplus

this kit looks great, was it bolt on? can I swap out my old manifold and carb and throw this in and adjust and be good to go ?
