    Secondary "hole shot" torque source

    another wheel? the system i described would not be connected to the motor either ( hence why i said an input device only the axel would be spinning and the gear would not spin up the fly wheel but the fly wheel could spin up the tires, and the motor )

    i know this, but for break in purpose is it's only real use so far ( cam is brand new , and besides i did not want points so i had to change the fly ) i think if i did have it for my use i don't think i'd take 'er up much past 5750, but c'mon this cam is spec'd for 8k, wich is another reason i'm...

    Secondary "hole shot" torque source

    well first you need a proper gear, not all ratios will give you 15 mph+. efficiency is accomplished by getting more out of the device as opposed to how much you are putting in.... the only way you can get it to give you a solid take off, and a longer take off, is haevier flywheel and a spring...

    prolly gave it more topend and actually reached a higher rpm, in this case it was atleast 200 rpm gain to get 1 mph depending on your ratio.

    yea, if i were to do it, i'd do it after i take the head back to the jack asses job to get the valves a little head room. that is if i have enough material.

    hmm, hopefully ;) if you really wanna tinker, retard the cam by 1 tooth, or advance, i've never tried it, but it's non interferience, worst that could happen is it will run poor. it's up to you ... also, i'm 80% sure the crank will not hit any lobes, but spin it around a few times and keep an...

    making it smaller helps? or does it just make it have longer duration at the cost of peak height? how much are you expecting hp wise? see this thread, without buying stuff you can get decent power you know ? free upgrades http://www.diygokarts.com/vb/showthread.php?p=8455 i dunno, seen...

    87 or 93 octane can solve this.

    motor upgrades b&s 5 h.p.

    do you ever see huge clouds of smoke? or little clouds? will you retard the timing? i would strongly suggest you repair it, i can safely say it will only get worse, my friend. unless, ofcourse you have a spare piston and another block.

    motor upgrades b&s 5 h.p.

    correction on my half, i meant over bore it .010 lol not .10. b&s is wierd, they also stopped making 5 hp flywheels. edit - also ... http://www.apskarting.com/pdfs/100-107.pdf that's what you need for ur cart, they have 2 diff designed pistons, depending how you wanna run it. but raptor III is...

    hmm, never seen it that way, i thought that's why they put fins on thier motors ( aside from having a governer. )

    motor upgrades b&s 5 h.p.

    i'd bore it .10 over, and remember with the new piston and ring sizes ( starting with '99 and later ) that the piston is .002 bigger so .10 over is more like .1002 ( i think? ) over. and the rings like a fine surface, like 400-600 grit also with new piston, they put silicon in them ( 12 % )...

    Two electric motors, 1 chain, 2x power?

    well because a quad has 4 cores, but is not 100 percent scaling, so it is more like 3.75 cores.

    yea, if you don't plan on using a .289 ... you sticking to .233? if so then i'd opt for the compression ;) @ .30 milled, it's even with the surface where the piston opposes... do you know what i'm talking about?

    Two electric motors, 1 chain, 2x power?

    speed won't increase because no extra rpms, or maybe it will help it reach like 2 mph more.. amd phenoms scale @ 3.75 instead of being an assumed 4.0. so i think two motors would be more like 1.65... got alot of batteries?
