RLS Checked for a bad gasket/leak there wasn’t any leaks Pilot jet is fine have not had the carburetor off and it was working with the governor hooked up I will have to adapt a cone air filter because the air box won’t fit or it will get the way of operation of the throttle cable and spring...

The governor lever is no longer connected to the butterfly I disconnected it The manual choke is untouched so it works same as before In the pictures the return throttle spring is connected to a 6/32 wing nut and bolt it pulls the engine back to idle from the butterfly The throttle cable is...

Out curiosity I started the engine without the air filter housing on so I could see whats going on and as you guys mentioned engine won’t idle and there is a battle between the governor and carburetor That video was not very clear on how to the put the honda throttle control on the kart and...
