how much power do you gain from switching to E85 from regular gas? and where could I obtain a diaphragm style carb for a 5hp? or one that could be used atleast...

And yes if you could provide the charts that would be amazing... has anyone thought about trying to make a glo-fuel/gas mix kind of like when ppl run a gas/methanol mix...?

I thought about ordering some Torco Race fuel (110 octane) and upping the compression pretty high (not to be outdone by flow) but I'm not sure how that would work... reading up about this "GloFuel" as well. Nitro does seem like to much of a hassle just like Ravio said... tuning would be hard as...

I have replaced the plug and the gas added sea foam to clean it out... then I screwed out the carb adjustment and it runs perfect with choke fully open thanks for the help

why is it not the plug the plug was soaked in gas and black soot?

the gas in it is WAY older than 30 days... as far as I know its about 8 months old. I'm changing the gas and plug later this wk when i get back from the beach... BTW how do you clean one of these carbs? mine is a tube that sticks away from the block and sits over the gas tank... I'll take a...

I replaced the clutch n my 5hp because the old one didnt have the right size chain sprocket... now the new one is smoking too. the bolt is tight with some washers for added security (including 1 lock washer) just wondering why it'd be smoking? Also can anyone give me some advice on how to...

NVM figured out how to use the search tab... DUH! me.

after going and re-reading the information on the motor it is actually just a 6hp Model OHH60

Hey guys, New here and extremely happy to finally find a place to figure out how to work on these karts. I bought a used Ken-Bar Streaker with running Tecumseh 6.5hp motor recently. Right now it needs a new clutch and pull start since the cover is broken and the string disappeared as...
