Hi Guys, great info. I'm a Briggs guy and what I have found and what I do is for the 5 HP Briggs, i.e. go kart engines. Is to shave off the decompression bump on the cam. This increases the sweep area of the cylinder. This increases HP by about 20%. In some engines you can just shave the end of that valve stem.

Hey @CarsandCameras - You guys want to know how I significantly improved the drag racing times of my kart? **WARNING: This is an IRREVERSIBLE MODIFICATION!** I removed the centrifugal clutch from the engine and modified it as follows: (1) Took the clutch drum off of the assembly via the snap ring. (IMPORTANT: Mark the face of the snap ring with a Sharpie and DO NOT flip the snap ring over when you reassemble the unit!) (2) Carefully removed the spring that encircles the weights. (Noting the orientation of the weights for reassembly.) (3) Cut off 6 - 10 coils off the length of the spring and slightly bent the new 'last coil' to form a new hook. (4) Reassembled the spring onto the weights. (5) Placed a *tiny* film of grease on the drum bearing, reassembled the clutch and reinstalled it on the kart. (6) Did a test run and rinsed & repeated as needed. (Sneak up on the optimal spring length because if you cut it too short, you cannot make it longer again.) This allows a higher engine 'stall speed' which is essentially giving you a MUCH more powerful launch. The same effect can be achieved by lightening the weights of the clutch but then *the balance of the rotating assembly* will come into play and damage the clutch or engine or both can occur. Shortening the spring, and effectively making it "stronger", is the most practical way to do this modification.

On honda and predator small engines, if you bypass the governor, you have to split the case open and remove the governor components inside the engine or it will cut out like this.

After 23 years the handlebar snapped in half and the chassis was all junk. But the motor was still running perfectly! I had some fun throwing gravel in the crankcase and finally the camshaft snapped.

Careful with that PB blaster or whatever nut breaker you were using to lubricate the steering, it is not meant as a lubricant and will only work for a short time before drying out. You want to use actual oil or grease or lubricant of some kind, not a solvent based nut breaker like PB or WD40.

True enough, though if it was binding because it was rusted/crudded up then a shot of PB Blaster will loosen the crud and free it up.
@dolfinoff49256 жыл бұрын
Spraying WD40 on a frozen linkage joint is no better than pouring a Bud Light on it. That's not WD's purpose at all. PB Blaster will do a fair job of removing the crud and making the joint free, as Butch says. But then a proper aerosol grease (like a motorcycle chain lube) will keep it clean happy for a long time.

Basics inspection. True with any kind of small engine. Check the easy stuff. Put fresh gas in. Clean out the old gas. Dump the carb bowl out. Clean the spark plug(s) Check air filter. Then start it up with a correct oil level. That's before mods. Patience is rewarding. When your knees and back ache all the time, you get smarter. Pulling that rope once should be enough. Be glad if you're not too big and heavy. Your toys have to be bigger and more expensive.

Make a go kart strictly for burning rubber n doing donuts. Or a funny bike style drag bike to go along with the "rail"

Haaaaa. You bent the tab!!!!! Same way I did mine. You’re not supposed to do that on a Tecumseh. Live and learn.

I got a pile of them. Good for tillers. Not so much for fast gocarts

lmao i had the same motor. throttle stuck and didnt have a kill switch so i spent 10 minutes wide open around my neighborhood lap after lap. Eventually all the oil came out and it locked up. Thank god cause it was a full tank of gas

You didn't have a reachable choke? My boat doesn't have a kill switch either, but the choke works fine on my Johnson 8hp 2stroke.
