Yeah I read that they have advanced timing when it starts for easier starts .....never thought of that in reference to the governor wasn't connected on throttle though springs were rusted off...only thing im gonna try is perhaps seafoam cylinder than check valves to see if there in spec maybe...

Im good with messing with things......governor is gone, custom linkage ,new tank with filter thinking its mechanical as in valves not breathing like they should can get it to run with both carbs still. Tolerance/deposits is what im checking next perhaps effecting tdc spark timing..

The carb on it now is the new one clean as can be......

SOLVED...New Carb old troubles... :censored: This engine is beating me down. Ordered new carb http://http://www.ebay.com/itm/111366324837?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Had to do slight modifications to get it to fit(enlarged mounting holes a mm or 2) Results... 1. Engine...

Comet 30 series those are the buttons for it see that hole in the 5th picture? You should have six of these contact spots when the tq shifts, if you have some more missing I can imagine some jerking and possible spring damage is what I had to fix on the one I bought off Craigslist. The link...

You can lube the tq...no need for a new one if it works properly once you buy thesehttp://www.ebay.com/itm/400279582875?redirect=mobile see some missing. No money wasted if its a CHEAP fix.

http://www.mfgsupply.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=garter I used the pink ones for mine, nice earlier engagement from the stock ones. Only difference I feel is easier takeoff Sorta like a car feel zero belt slippage. Play with different combos they sent me a chart as well with multiple weights...

http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?t=24732 Cart model etc is helpful too.....plenty of users here with tons of knowledge just gotta give them the correct details.

Pics would be helpful, idle sounds to high though. Try to better explain last half tq stuck?

Governor is a kill joy, so simple remove why hold down your torque and hp? Just take it out, you get to see the conditions of your motor and the oil has to be changed anyway. Easier to do maintenance on a workbench and inspect motor.

Check your spark plug sounds like deposits may be cutting your spark. Wire brush it when engine is missing or you see smoke. Read your plug then as well, could explain why your engine does great for a while then decreases performance.

Don't take my word for it but always seen clutch side facing out wards, hard for you to do any changes/take it apart with it facing that way. You should feel some jumps when it shifts...to test engine raise rear wheels off the ground remove belt let it go with no load careful if not governed...

Is your tc backwards? Dismantle and lube it could be getting stuck in a position once hot causing your issue from trying to expand on that side, also in the last pick your belt looks off alignment.

no i didnt thanks for that tip!

My mikuni on my subaru ex17 is throwing fits. I've cleaned carb several times and managed to get cart to idle perfect. Last night I got several spectacular runs in with huge power and torque. Ran for maybe an hour and a half. Today troublesome starts:mad2: Made my own gas tank so rust in tank is...
