That's what I thought at first as I stated earlier I replaced all gaskets

Its a 6.5hp gx200 honda clone and yes the rings are on right

I recently had to replace my rings again because I didn't hone the cylinder so I just honed the bore deglazing the engine then installing the new rings. When we get ready to start the engine to make the rings seal it didn't start up like normal it would only start with throttle wide open. Once...

Yes new oil rings with the set. Honing is the problem doesn't make sense to me I was told the old ones were shaped from the Old block the news ones being new would shape to the cylinder they are installed in.

I bought a new block and used the same rings but was only spinning 6000rpms expecting 7500+rpms with my setup. I spoke with Tom at ARC Racing and he said you must use new rings in a new cylinder try that first when I installed the rings it ran strong at 7500rpms for about a week. then after a...

I recently installed new rings on my 6.5 clone it ran strong for a week then after a couple days of sitting when I started it the motor idles off and on til it dies only running with throttle wide open when I pull the plug it's covered in oil so I pulled the head off and spin the piston to the...

Was wondering if anyone could tell me if the balance shaft is needed just for the governor or is it needed even with the governor removed. Never seen any on my gx200. Thanks again

Has anybody taken out the governor with the stock honda setup without breaking parts? I'm looking to get a little more out of my gx390 and cant afford the billet rod and flywheel yet. I have heard the honda rod was good til about 5000 rpms. Only mods Ive done so far are 24mm bored Carb, air...

I bought a gx340 to rebuild and when I broke it down I noticed the charging coil still mounted behind the flywheel and the flywheel had the groove for the electric start ring gear. I have a gx390 with electric start and an extra gx390 starter, Iwant to make one of the gx340s I'm rebuilding...

I haven't received it yet and don't have a photo but based on looks it looks like a clone its at eBay under. 11Hp engine as not running I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of this model and interchangeable parts.

I bought a dek #g05708 it says 11hp like gx340 but it is 401cc closer to the gx390 in size. Not sure if it is a clone of the Honda gx series or not. Anyone know where to get performance parts for it such as billet rod and flywheel flat tops and heads? Thanks for any help

Yes I'm using a torque wrench and torquing to 18ft lbs and haven't had a chance to take the head off and use a straight edge yet. The head is already milled 0.065 yea I know it should seal when torqued I was wondering if the high rpm and Compression may be the cause maybe an additional vent for...

I made sure that it was clean and looks flat. Has anyone used any type of gasket maker successfully for a head gasket? Is so what kind i know black permartex isnt recommeded where gas is present

Ordered a gx200 racing head milled .065 running 11.6:1 compression. Cant get to seal. Tried 3 different 0.009 gaskets, they all leak oil at the bottom of the head on the block. Just put a copper 0.018 gasket after riding today its leaking, dont really want to use the 0.040 gasket due to loss of...

Does anyone have any experience with the bp 2 cam I have a 36 main jet and 4 degree timing key stock appearing carb 26lbs springs 0.030 shims I had a bolt loose on the side cover and leaking oil. I replaced the side cover and head bolts with 12.9 grade bolts then top speed went from 54mph to...
