ok long story short my dads old ass crappy little 7hp rider mower broke the cord and my dad finaly said F#$# it lets get rid of it, so i called up my friends and asked them if they wanted to do somethign with it so we took to my friends house spent two days fiddling with the engine and we got it running amazingly better than before, no air filter just open carb, sawed off the dinky muffler it had and now its just open pipe and we just changed the oil from the old black stuff to some high milage quaker state, we took off the blade, infact the whole blade shroud (probably like 90 lb) we took the whole body metal off, (10lb) and just spraty painted it all black.
now for the drive, OMG wow, we jerry rigged it so we have to turn it on with a string and then pull it off so it runs though, i got it running had it screaming away we couldnt hear shit at all it was so loud , i put it in gear 5 and let go of brake and BAM INSTAND G-FORCES the front wheels on this rider mower lifted 2 ft off of the ground and almost flipped me backwards, it topped out at like 10-12 mph cus the gears are set up for a lawn mower and after like 20 minutes of riding arround doing wheelies on the mower the oil shot out of hte filler plug cus it got shaken loose and the chain fell off, then the cops showed up (it was like 11pm and neighbors woke up) and we had to stop,
now we are just adding a cheepo muffler donated by the local muffler shop, fixing the oil, and tightenign the chain, this mower KICKS ASS, and takign off is awsome,
i will post pics as soon as i can but does anyone have anymore ideas on what to do to add speed to this, we want to make it even faster as in perhaps 20mph. im making a body kit and were gonna paint all kinds of ricer logos on it and call it a vtec.
pics are on the way. i just wanted to share my new toy.
