:idea: Man this might be good for personal interest. I don't know much about trikes yet; just getting started. However, if you have a young one to get started in triking it might be worth it. You can limit them more if you put that briggs on it. Have fun.

sorry, the link insert button aint workin.

have had the 6.5 on my mini bike for years, never had a problem, except for the bolts coming loose once. just tighten all the bolts when you first get it, and your good to go! beat the crap out of that motor, even ran it dry once, still runs like a champ, first pull start, and no smoke, with the governor set about 1.5 times the factory setting. and they got BALLS.

the 5.5 and 6.5 are roughly the same physical size, we have both, on different toys.

I dont know man.


My concern lies with the missing rear fenders, seat, and a couple other parts that you would probably have a lot of trouble trying to find.

If you could throw your Brigs into it easitly, and rig up a seat, then it would be worth it just to mess around the yard with.

Wow, those things are cheap! I should buy a 13 horse and slap it in there! We'll see. The thing is that i already have a engine i can drop in....and i would want to do this the cheapest way possible. Im going to look at it tommorrow hopefully. I dont even know exactly what the condition is. I guess i'll see.
