What would you define as "high RPM or huge power"? Would you say anywhere between 8-10hp at 7-10k RPM?

Poboy only wants to know where you live so he start trolling Craigslist in your area to swoop up all the awesome karts. :roflol::feedtroll: Anyways. .. nice build bud. Welcome to the forum! I'd like to see some video of that second Kart. Looks like a beast.

Right after seeing this post I immediately went on Craigslist in hope that I could find something as awesome as that..... Came up empty though:(:(:(

Gran..if this user isn't interested, I might grab it off of you. By time I'm finished with my build, I just might need it. http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?p=343996#post343996

Its awful. At first I wasn't that mad. I figured, "Hey sh** happens!". Then I realized I was going to have to get a completely new block, strip it down, remove that governor gear, then tap the holes on THAT block. :censored::2guns::furious2: everything you said Fabroman is exactly what I was...

Pop the motor off, and crack open that case! :useless::roflol:

Pictures from aforementioned post

Update The good news is... The set screws that I ordered from Napa worked out pretty well! I threaded the existing oil sensor hole with a 1/2' tap while applying a small amount of WD-40 (which was recommended for aluminum) while threading the tap into the block. I used my finger to "feel" for...

Whoaaaaa *screeeech* Pump those brakes poncho! :roflol: I guess I wasn't very clear in what I wrote! There was no way in **** I was punching a hole through the case! I did take the time to remove everything the correct way, but I need to plug the hole left by the governor swing arm that was...

Okay, so it's been about two weeks since I've even touched the cart at all. I'm ready to plug up the bolt and arm holes for the governor but I'm not sure what bolt size/thread I'll need to do so. I tried some Google searching but no one actually verified the exact sizes they were using. I think...

Well I don't mind losing $4 or $5 bucks. I'll have to check the receipt to see how much I spent on it. I guess it'll go in the parts box with the rest of the stock parts Im holding on to. As for installing the 4 degree key, I'm not sure I'd want to be the guinea pig on that idea. In theory it...

Just goes to show you that I have a lot to learn...:o I kind of knew I was being taken for a sales ride just by what I had learned from reading the forum. I didnt necessarily need to upgrade the flywheel or the springs but I caved at the thought of having all those extra rpm's I'm crossing my...

I used a pair of dykes and a screwdriver to cut and pry the gear out. I got tired of playing nice with it. Next thing I have to do is plug up all the holes and then start reassembly. :wai: What can I use to flush out the case? I just want to be sure there are no plastic pieces floating around...
