Re: Surfing craigslist pays off. (GoKart) *VID*
now with that engine is there somthing different than any other 4 stroke engine? like some kinda tuning or something? i made a motorized barstool back in highschool and just got it up and running again with a 206 cc 4 stroke engine and it doesnt seem nearly as fast as that thing is. im really new to small engine scene and just bought a good looking motor that had the right ---- brand new at fleet farm.
it might be my gearing but my ---- barely goes like 25-30
i wanna put together a shifter cart soon and i wanted to reuse that motor but not if it doesnt make power

Well mine has a 5spd. Did yours have a transmission? Mine probably has about uhh 12-14hp or so but the gears help a lot. If yours was the pull-start type of motor it probably topped out at 3500rpm or so unless you removed the governor.

well no tranny, and its all stock as far as the govener goes. i have a few buddies that know some ---- about those little motors and they were gonna help me pull some ---- off for some more power. the owners manual and ---- said it made power to 5800 rpm IIRC but i dont know that its spinning those R's
