Sorry you having a bad day or bad week First of all my attitude with small engines is don’t mess with it if its running Second is I am not knowledgeable about small engines I almost fixed the engine on my old Snapper RER I tried fixing a bend valve that turned into a disaster it never ran...

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...

I disconnected the governor (eventually a complete governor delete) The choke still operates as before Its the wire with the loop on it towards the front of the carburetor All I did was put a spring on the butterfly in an opposite direction of the throttle cable which is also attached to the...

“I am going make this work if it kills me” my quote LOL An update on Honda GC160 I disconnected the governor lever from the carburetor (will take it out completely-eventually) and used a long screw and a wing nut with one the ears removed and hole in the other ear to hold the spring to left...

Well I’m going to use the Honda on one kart and I going to use the preditor (if I need to change it) on the other cart We’ll see what condition the Tecumseh two seater go cart is in

If I not mistaken it was a preditor out the box on to a yerf dog go kart

I saw a video showing a HF Preditor 212 cc going on a Yerf Dog go kart pretty easily It was kind of like plug and play

Kart Yes you are not being a wise guy but a wise man I’m getting to the point where I have the kart for about a week and half and am getting frustrated trying to make it work: trial and error and looking it up on youtube is for the birds!! I been working on it non stop! ALTHO I GOT TO ADMIT I...

Ok I’ve been re-reading the posts and have let them sink in (my brain is not working as well with age!) I am begining to make sense of all of your comments and I appreciate them! I think I will have to remove the governor from the inside completely But first I will test the engine with governor...

“You shouldn't need any more holes, if you do start over and keep starting over until you get it working. Every extra hole makes it just that much more likely to end up snapping off later.” —-But there no holes available they are all occupied

PS I going to keep the governor not gonna touch it including the set up original to engine

Alrighty then I’m learning alot about go karts and engines especially how the Honda GC 160 is bad for a go kart etc but it’s the only one I got and I gotta make it work and get back to my friend’s kid who waiting with bated breath for me to finish it So maybe you fellows can help figure how to...
