lol this damn thing can be going down the road in 1st and if you pop the clutch going to 2nd it will pop up lol

Dont worry one of the tranny i have if you floor it in 3rd from idle it will raise the front end up

LOL now you under stand why i put all them towing chains on sarge richie if i was you i would put some weight on that front end sitting up that high and poping wheelies isnt to fun when you land on your a**

well, im a cheap @$$ so im going to "borrow" the flex disc system off my cub cadet and use it on dixie, hopefully ill get her going in the next week or so....going do use stretch's way of fixing the starter to, so it might be about to get the 18 back, which raises the question of, should i use a kohler or should i use a briggs, the briggs im used to working on, but the kohler has pressurized oil.....

go with the briggs easyer to work on but the kholer you can hook a oil gauge up to

lol true, but that kohler has a really low idle

i need opinions yall, should i leave dixie at the highth she is now, or should i drop it down about 3 or 4 inches?

, id leave it

My vote would be to leave it

well, im goint to leave it at the same highth, but im going to redo the front lift so it sits level with 24" on the front

great choice Richie Dixie will look amazing with 24s up front.

thanks, ima try and find some cheap shocks for thefront, might take em off a old four wheeler or something

well guys........I GOT THAT BIG MUTHAFREAKER TO CRANK UP :p THE 29 IS RUNNING

Nice!!!

it has alot of torque , now i got to buy a starter lol and runn a exhaust(just to try it i did it with out pipes at all)
P.S DONT EVER CRANK YOU MOTOR FOR MORE THAN A FEW SECONDS WITHOUT EXHAUST PIPES AS IT WILL RUIN YOUR VALVES.

Actually, that valve thing is nowhere near as much of a threat as it's made out to be...

You can eventually (note eventually) suck a valve but the biggest issue is the extreme lack of backpressure causing it to run really crappy if it even starts. Otherwise, really no threat at all.

my sister had a old jeep CJ7 and the thing was falling apart but had a rebuilt engine with only 98k on it we didnt have the cash for mufflers so i just the exhaust off at the header and ran it till the flywheel broke and congrats on getting that monster v-twin running

i know, i put that cause its best not to, and i didnt know exactly what it aused, i just new it wasnt the best idea and figured id warn people

so whats your plans for this monster since you got it running ?

SUCK a valve??? Who the heck told you this? There's a very minimal chance of thermal cycle warping, but very minimal...

Regarding back pressure (again)... with no exhaust, you lose scavenging. Aside from the slight efficiency loss (and related jetting issue) you should have NO PROBLEM starting and running an engine with an open exhaust. I do it very frequently when I'm working on them.

NICE cant wait for the pics man

ima try and find a custom camshaft for it, but the m.f.er has lotsa torque

so.....how should i run the exhaust on dixie witht the 29 hp? true duals all the way to the back coming out the corners of the rear fenders? or 2 into 1 ? i don't want to do stacks,
also, ima have to cut a hole in the hood for the air breather lol. this motor is huge its 105 lbs dry

105lb wow lucky my oppy is 130 something .-. and for your mufflers i would run them out the rear get like 1" pipe for the headers to the front of the foot rest then get some 3" tube and run it from that 1" all the way out the rear that will give it a nice deep rumble at idle and at max throttle she will be screaming lol
