hey guys,
I am posting this to see if we can get some more information flowing. I have been reading on another thread that Harbor Freight has a 6.5 HP OHV engine for 75 bucks! It's true...take a look...I just picked mine up at a local branch and they honored the online price...
6.5 HP Gas Engine - Horizontal Shaft, OHV
that is the link.
If you also look this thread link from this forum, you will find more details on performance parts, etc...trying to put all this in one spot...

Ok, now that I have that out there, here is the real question...anyone building a frame for this motor other than Jeff @ CulverCity? Hey Pat, think you could modify a sportsman flyer to fit this engine?
I really like the look of what Jeff is putting together, and I love Pat's style as well, I just don't own a welder anymore and it has literrally been ages since I struck an arc. I am finally ready to begin putting together a boardtracker using this little engine. The only one I can find that currently exists is from this old You-tube, he has also posted here on the forum... the Dixie flyer. The HF engine is a greyhound which is essentially a chinese knock off of the GC i believe. Please correct me if I am wrong on that one.
