Briggs racing engines are made by Briggs and Stratton racing division. This company has been in business for more than 100 years; however, they did not always make racing engines.
62MPH
To make racing more exciting.
What about it? Model/type # as of 10-28-08: 124335-8104-01 Lists for a grand or so. Cool motor, but I am not bound by racing rules, and prefer to modify my own for a fraction of the cost. Makes little sense for run-around yard karts or what-not.
The 525 is faster for racing. but on flat ground the raptor would be faster.
you should have 2% to 5% more power
alot faster then a racing car
SIMING
go faster than the cops
They have lawn mover racing, moped ice racing (hilarious!), and use Briggs and staton engines in Jr dragster.Or are you asking about a certain type of racing and all the various machines that they use. Say jackstands, jacks, wrenches, pullleys, tire heaters,etc
Engine SizeThe Briggs & Stratton Raptor engine features a bore between 2.56125 and 2.5625 inches and a stroke of 2.438 inches. This corresponds to a total engine displacement of 12.48 cubic inches per engine cycle.More modern Briggs & Stratton 5 horsepower engines feature the same 12.48 cubic inches of engine displacement, but achieve that volume of displacement using a wider bore and a shorter stroke. The currently produced Animal, 206 and World Formula engines feature a bore between 2.6875 and 2.6885 inches and a stroke of 2.2 inches.Compression RatioThe original Raptor series of engines featured a compression ratio -- the ratio of the length of the stroke to the length of the combustion chamber -- of 6.5 to 1. Despite their shorter strokes, modern Briggs & Stratton engines also feature shorter combustion chambers and thus have higher compression ratios. The World Formula has a compression ratio of 9.5 to 1, the 206 has a compression ratio of 9 to 1, and the Animal has a compression ratio of 8.5 to 1.Ignition TimingThe factory-specified optimal ignition timing for the Raptor engine is 22 degrees before top of dead center (BTDC). The Animal, 206 and World Formula engines are factory-designed for an ignition timing of 29 degrees BTDC.Aftermarket ModificationsMany users modify their Briggs & Stratton racing engines to improve on, or the stretch the limits of, engine performance. If you purchase a used Briggs & Stratton motor, ask the seller about any modifications that have been performed and how they may affect engine performance.Read more: Briggs & Stratton 5 HP Engine Specs | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/list_7790738_briggs-5-hp-engine-specs.html#ixzz2SKrELQwW
