It barley revs at all if I pull the handle My 3hp goes faster. When I am wide open it seems it wants to change RPM's all the time because of the governor arm

On my motor if you wanted to attach the throttle cable to the throttle handle it barley revs because the engine limits it. As you can see if you watch this youtube video at 0:06 seconds thats the throttle handle I am talking about. If I were to hold it open wide open throttle it would barley rev...

Quick little update I did get it running. Turns out the nipple the fuel line goes to on the carb was clogged. All it took was a little carb cleaner and half an hour. Runs perfect. Now to be on the safe side I am going to change the oil and sparkplug tomorrow and hopefully post a video of it...

Yup haha I also didnt have carb cleaner so I am waiting on that. I will make an update when (hopefully if) I get it running

I'm not sure when I bought the motor it had a clutch on it and the motor has a one inch shaft, so yes the clutch does fit. Also sorry for the late reply I was out of town for the weekend. Currently cleaning the carb. Looks to be the reason why it isnt starting since it had so much old gas and...

That's what I was thinking. I am going to try and see what the current clutch can do and if it doesn't work out I'll buy one Also I chopped my minibike frame and raised it to fit my old gokart motor so hopefully I'll have two toys by the end of summer

Checked the sparkplug and had spark. Then i sprayed some starter fluid in it and it ran for 10 seconds So far it seems like it might not be getting gas but I have not cleaned it yet

Sup diygokart Since fixing my gokart like most people I wanted more power (currently have a brigs and stratton 3hp) Hopped on craigslist and found a 11hp Honda GX340 and offered $60 thinking he wouldn't take it. Well he had about five others for sale and he did end up taking the offer since he...

Yep soon I will get pics of the minibike and gokart once its fixed up. The minibike pics will be up before the gokart since I am still working on the gokart.

Just an update. I am getting the part machined and hopefully I will get it back by Saturday. I will post more updates and pics when I get it fixed.

I welded the part that cracked back together. I will post updates tomorrow because I didn't get a chance to put it together yet. Tomorrow morning I will get a pic of how it works.

Yeah it might be homemade it has a few sketchy things on it. If I can't get this part reproduced what other options do I have? Thanks for...

Sorry about that I'm on mobile because my internet is down. I don't have the option on mobile to downsize the images. Edit: It is back up now and the images are resized.

Hey gokarters, I recently got a gokart from my friend, but of course since it was free it was not running. I got it running and all but there was another issue. A part that bolts onto the gear that goes to the tires rusted and cracked then fell off. I was wondering if anybody could help me find...

Hey diygokart members My name is Zack and recently I got a gokart and minibike from two different friends for free. The gokart is almost ready and the minibike needs a motor. Here is a pic of the gokart http://i.imgur.com/FlBAwhO.jpg Nice seeing a good gokart forum for newbies like me. Also...
