Goped G23LH HP carb install (WT-167)

Pretty basic install of the HP carb. Video shows how the engine cover needs to be trimmed for the manifold to fit and the carb linkage to clear. The WT-167 was the OG HP carb when the G23LH engine was introduced to the goped world. Since then better carbs(larger venturi) have landed on the market like the WT-668. There is a top speed run of this carb in another video on my page. heres a link • Mini Bike top speed ru...

Years ago there used to be a few companies that sold a 90° or "twisted" hp manifold for the lh that was longer and offset the carb sideways so you didn't have to trim the stock shroud and it made routing the throttle cable a bit easier.

I'm catching up with your videos having only just recently found your channel. Really enjoying the video style and how natural you are behind a camera. Keep it up champ

[@austingraham2417]

Could have not said it better myself I didn’t know how much I didn’t know about my scooter until I found his channel I have so many unanswered questions

[@Fotopro]

I would love to see a video on how to properly adjust your high and low settings on Bigfoot carburetors. Also, what adjustments correspond with carb performance issues while riding.

[@aaronpratt89]

I plan to make a tuning video in the future. There is a lot to cover in tuning.

What bolt did you use to mount the motor to the frame

What rotory tool is that ?

Where do you get your gasket kits and what are you lubricating the gaskets with? I ordered some but they weren't correct. Thanks for content

I use ddmracing.com I am using three bond 1211 sealant.

Yeah let’s redline and continuously run a smoky engine in an enclosed space with no ventilation. GENIUS

Thanks for the reminder!! I had to fix the engine. And it’s been super cold here! I’ll be filing again soon!!!

[@Gopedhitta954]

Thanks!

[@koltentilley5329]

Out of the box. What did you set the high and low speed needles at to get it running?

[@generalgen1542]

Play with the low idle screw first a bit to get goped running until you have it idling normal on the low and then play with the throttle while adjusting the high speed needle until your able to get it to rev normal till max rpm

[@nevertheless2791]

Do you prefer not using air filter on your velocity stack?

[@aaronpratt89]

For the install purpose I left the air filter off. If you check out my other videos you will see I have the air filter on when riding.

[@MD-tr8fn]

On all carbs do you Hook up your gas lines yellow to top and blue to low, does it matter

[@aaronpratt89]

It honestly depends on how the lines are routed. From the factory Goped’s are set up for the blue to be the supply and the yellow to be the return. The best way to be accurate is to look in the tank and see which line is hooked up to the filter. The filter will be the supply to the carb.

[@generalgen1542]

Any porting to the g23lh ? I had an XPed with the g23lh that I had ported lowered the intake raised the exhaust , port matched intake manifold to intake port and gasket matched transfer ports on head and cases. With the 167 walbro with velocity stack no filter and open exhaust on a .950 spindle @ 170 pounds I clocked on GPS @ 33.7 mph 93 octane pump gas. These motors love porting ! While cases are better ported apart for work you can upgrade to g230rc piston lighter than g23lh piston and upgrade to g230rc coil and flywheel which advances timing , which really makes a difference when the power band kicks , as oppose to advancing motor with a rocket key which makes these motors run really hot even if you try to run it GAS (100+ octane ) not recommended in my opinion.

[@aaronpratt89]

I’ve built lots of LH engines in the past. Yea I can agree the port timing is more setup as a utility engine(which is the engines original purpose) aiming for more torque then horsepower. I don’t like to use the rc style top ends on LH cases for the reason of the transfers not matching up. They do run great with them. However an LH to me is the good ol 23cc restrictive crooked spark plug cylinder. I plan to port this engine in the near future. Working on getting my new shop setup and together.

..i'm trying to rebuild a goped bigfoot with a g23lh motor and wa167 carb .. i'm not overly familiar with the motor but on each side of the short block are 2 bolt on ports , i keep getting gas spurting out whenever i pull the cord ..any body have any thoughts ,, new kit in the card but the engine seems to totally flood with gas

[@aaronpratt89]

That doesn’t sound like an LH engine. That sounds more like the geo engine.

[@jcobra09]

How’d that carb end up working out? Would you recommend for the stock G23LH? I have a WYJ-138 I believe, whatever is stock. I have a ADA clutch, and it doesn’t like to take off from idle, and I can’t tune that stock carb 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@aaronpratt89]

This carb works great. The 668 is the way to go tho, much more tunable friendly. The 167 requires a lot of tweaking.

Look for my video with the wt-668 setup and install. You have to drill the hole yourself to fit the swivel.

Aaron Pratt.... I've notice that both v stacks from ddm had a milled dremal mark like a root pass around both intake holes... Also what about butane like this KZbin video I saw running a motorcycle off butane only

[@aaronpratt89]

Well with my test engine I’ll have to inject oil somehow since it’s a two stroke. But I can try butane. As far as the dremel marks I’m not sure what you are referring to

@@codiebiggans4875 that is the geo! They make hp carb kits that eliminate the double barrel carb and use a traditional butterfly style carb. Those can be great engines. However they stopped making them and because they are a reverse direction than a traditional engine, there isn’t really a replacement besides a monster 60cc helicopter engine. But with the right carb that thing will rip!
