I just want to see if the motor runs, so I put it on a Victa base.Doubled the spacers. Had to drill one hole. It has four bolts. I wonder if those spacers and 4 bolts will be strong enough. It's a 125cc engine.

I have to make a muffler. I'll try to fit a B&S one I have. Do you think it would start without a muffler..... maybe a long pipe just to test it.......
