Default 5 H.P Briggs and Stratton

I have a good rebuilt 5 hp. B&S engine from my snowblower. Would this work on a boardtracker style bike . It is probably the block that the Jr. Dragsters run.

I don't know where you are planning on mounting it but those things weigh a ton. Plus the physical size is huge for a bicycle.

Thanks: I've got a new rear tire and making my own springer front. Should be fun.
