The Briggs & Stratton 5 hp Horizontal motor is a legend in the Kart Racing Community.
Over a million of these engines were produced since its beginning somewhere
around the 60s or 70s. Rumor has it that these engines were chosen, for better
than average go karts, because they could be found in almost any scrap yard because
of high production numbers. The carburetor is very reliable, plus its simple
to rebuild and tune even for young kids.
Today there are many
performance parts still being made and adds to the fun in building an Engine for
your homemade project.
