Did a search and did not find much on this engine. Just curious how it has treated other users? Also curious on fuel consumption? I cut my lawn and 1 customers so far (about 1 hour and 15 minutes worth) and it has used a half a tank! That seems crazy to me. I know the engine is brand new and is breaking in so I hope it loosens up some and starts getting better fuel consumption. :dizzy:

You probably would get better fuel consumption if you pulled the tunnel ram with the (2)650's off of it and put the stock carb back on:waving:
It was actually 2 450's. That setup is long gone. I took that video to show people how it ran with the heads, cam and intake to make it easier to sell the parts. This is what it has now. :usflag:

That is a Magnuson MP122 supercharger and the heads are the new hot lick Pro-Filer heads. The cam is now a NX288-HR hydraulic roller.

I have the 24 horse on a 48" Vride and it drinks gas like a lawn guy drinks water on a hot day, I suspect it would do much better without mulch kit installed.

This was just before I did all the work to it.


This was right after while I was still tuning the carb. I was still putting the car back together so ignore the missing grill and bumper and all the mangled wiring inside the car.

 
Did you put a "Fat man bar" in your cage where you cut out the driver's side bar?? If so, how do you like it?? I have hip problems and need to do something with the cage in my car to make it easier to get in and out.

The nova is my dads. I have been building it for him. He is 63 and has leg and feet issues so I cut the side bars out because we dont race it. I may put the bars back with the swing out kit on each side.
