Mike, The link you sent.. "the Hog Mud" ... was great... it gave me the solution on how to "structuraly implement / put together" the inclined pump I am designing... I saw that they included a universal joint --- it will solve 2 probles: gives me the extra 7 deg (15 vs 22) I want and...

Got this just now: All of our engines are safe to operate at no more than a 15 degree angle of operation. Mike, Briggs & Stratton Answer Center Last week, person I talked to at Briggs, just said "we do not recommend it" . I pursued and wrote to their technical support center, knowing that...

HI Mike, The universal joint might just do it. A manufacturer (Lovejoy) specified it for up to 15 degrees. Do you (or any one) have an idea how much losses (power in %) a universal joint will consume? Belts and pulleys, according to manufacturers lose about 5-7%.

Thank you for those of you who gave suggestions and their insights to the seemingly "stupid" question. They will give me a sense of the risk / return I am seeking. Also, perhaps it is not stupid: 1. Economics, is reason one. Engines are cheap, fuel not: The best engine from B&S is the Vanguard...

Hi Guys.. I need advice. I have purchase a Briggs and Stratton Vanguard 6.5HP Horizontal Engine (w/ splash lubrication system / motorsports rod dipper design).. I want to tilt it to power a small boat's propeller... the manufacturer does not recommend it ( but I've seen similar small engines...

Hi Keith, Got the pix/circuit... thanks ... I will try it as soon as I get an engine PAskee

Hi OperaHouse, I went to www. fieldlines... your description was of the schematics was good... the pictures were truncated (incomplete).. can you please send the pictures directly to me...appreciate it greatly... thanks paskee

Hi OperaHouse, 1. I am US base, living in California.. so I can buy the components here. 2. Yes, I can buy at ebay, Amazon, or wherever in the het. 3. Sorry, but I still do not what connection to the points is/are..please elaborate. 4. What also is an RE project... "real experience" ? thanks...

Thanks Opera House, 1. The normal line voltage in the Phils is 220Volts... but there is no elctric service in the farm ... we have a small generator.. but thta's it. 2. I am gald your lawnmower worked ! And if you can see the LEd during the day.. it surely will work during the pitch black of...

HI Operahouse, Plese tell me your what happened to the device on your lawnmower.. maybe the solution I am looking for Thanks Paskee

Rat Bait Stations .... In my field to protect our main crop (say corn or rice) we set up along the periphery rat bait stations, so when they come looking for food they are stopped from infesting the main crop ! Perhaps... if you build 1 to 4 taller, more conductive towers around your main...

Hi Itsmoked/IRStuff, Thank you.. but, I am looking for a $10 solution! .. Paskee

Hi Telecomguy, Your spotlight / reflector idea ... kinda far (400 yards) and electricity is not available.. I got to power the spotlight w/ batteries Thanks..Paskee

Hi BRADRRS, If we have 17 engines, and view (via binoculars) that a light that is supposed to be on on say location #6 is OFF..we will know that that engine is not working and then go out and fix it. The farm is about 20 acres. It takes anout 1.25 hrs to walk the periphery during the day, about...

HI Guys, The bicycle dynamo (runs by friction )probably will not work. I just called a mechanic at a bysycle shop..he said the bicycle dynamos were built tor maximum of 200 rpm.. an engine running at 2000-3000 rpm will smoke the dynamo. It means placing a reducing wheel to accomodate the...

Thank you VE1BLL, I like your suggested solutions.."wire and bulbs": a.the spark plug tap - the blinking effect is wonderful (easier to see and possibly extends the bulb life).. my thought is however to tap before the spark plug capacitor (on the main magneto) rathar than after (where it...

Thanks Waross, I will try your idea.. in fac .. the engine is coupled to the pump by a pulley/ belt configuration and I can place a smalll bicycle type generator to interface w/ the belt ... my reservation however is that a 2nd magneto is a mechanical solution, another thing that can break ...

Hi Guys, I am an Agicultural Engineer (Irrigation & Water Mngt).. and I'll highly appreciate any help/advice you can share on... I operate on a farm (in the Philippines) several gasoline (anywhere from 6 to 10HP) "pull start" (rather than battery start) engines that drive water pumps. These...
