Yeah there is no governor, previous owner connected the throttle cable directly to the carb. I tried adjusting the lean/rich screw and it's very lose in the carb body, the vibration of the motor causes it to move around is there supposed to be a spring around the screw?

reguarding the starting issue, why would I have to hold the gas pedal down slightly when trying to start the motor cold? it usually doesn't matter if the choke is open or closed I have to do that and rev it a few times. after that it starts and idles fine and I don't have to do that when its...

Ok I'll give that a try

ill keep that in mind, good place to start. while I was disassembling the carb that screw was all the way in, when I reassembled and put the lean/rich screw back in I turned it out at 1 and a half turns (herd that's where it typically should be) ill go with trial and error and take any other...

lean/rich mixture screw adjustment?

I had my kart out and decided to floor it to see how fast it would go, I was hauling a** down the street pretty fast then as I hit top speed I felt the motor kind of surge and herd little pop and I let it slow down but I tried giving it more gas to keep going and it kept bogging down and shut...

There's a few large parking lots at office buildings near me I'm gonna check out too on weekends when it's empty

Haha I guess I'll have to do that

I see, so I'd be better off looking for a frame designed to carry a heavier rider, I probably could get away on the weaker ones but you're right I'd probably just be putting along at slow speeds

I was trying to find a mini bike, the max load says 120lbs is that as much as the stock motor can push or the whole frame itself? I'm not a big guy I weigh 165 but 120 for something like that seems a bit low. ive seen people switch out the weak stock 2hp motors to bigger ones

Yeah I miss my caprice as well, even though it was a gas hog it would still out last anything made today smh. I like alot of the other projects you all have too

The only street legal toys I've had so far lol

Yours are neat too, I was thinking of getting one of those mini bikes too how do they handle?

I also briefly had a red single seater yerf dog with roll cage, never got any pics though

Ive been into things with motors since I was little, both two and four wheels. figure I share the toys ive had over the years, all except the purple two seater kart I don't have anymore although I wish I had kept most (if I had the space too) first one is an electric scooter, second is a sit...

true, ill get one of those tall orange flags, be courteous and use common sense is all one can do :thumbsup:

Yeah I don't have a straight pipe on mine, I am looking at options to make the motor even more quiet (it goes fast enough for me already im not looking for more speed lol) ill just have to do some scouting around town for better places too. SlickNnick I know how Lox is too, a lot of dirt roads...

Since there is alot of people I have learned from Florida as well on here, what are the laws regarding riding go karts here? I know you can't legally just hop on an go tearing down any road. I live in a dead end neighborhood, no traffic and decent size for riding but I feel I'm pushing my luck...

while rebuilding the carb on my 5hp briggs I discovered the previous owner had zip tied the tip of the throttle cable to the idle screw spring, then attached a spring to the throttle lever to pull it back closed when you let off the throttle. any kind of way to securely attach this better? ill...

Haha good one Here is a pic I have right now, I can get a better if needed, I'll have a look at the ones on amazon too
