Got a wild hair---very O.T.

I just took off the deck of the Crapsman and I have decided to just use it to pull around my utility wagon, which is still very handy. But now I have a wild hair! I was looking at the motor and thinking that a set of dual carbs would spruce up the 19.5hp twin cylinder briggs a bit, but I can't find any anywhere on the net. Do any of you guys know where I could find some? I looked around on some of the lawnmower racing web sites, and struck out. I also posted on the garden tractors forum, but no luck there either. Thanks again for all your help! Maybe someday if my 8N EVER breaks down (like that'll happen) I'll have a tractor question!----Rob

I'm using my retired rider for utility work too and have already worn out 1 belt.

Just an FYI

How about finding an old engine and getting the manifold off it and maybe having a machine shop do some rework to make it fit? Bet there is a racing team near you that could help. A dual carb manifold should be doable I would think. You also might consider porting the head, exhaust and intake, and maybe high compression pistons. Different drive pulleys would also make it much much faster.

One last idea, do a search on the Internet for racing lawn mowers. I know that there are groups that do that,, and I bet they would be the ones to steer you in the right direction.

Have fun!!
