    Honda Valve Spring Compressor

    Does anyone know where you can buy a valve spring compressor that will work on Honda or Clone engines? The ones I've seen for sale won't fit around the head properly. I've ran a quick search of this forum and all I saw was homemade ones. I rather buy one if I can find one cheap. 18lb springs...

    Different Oil at High RPM??

    I was reading some articles today on the internet about engine modifications. Someone recommended using a different oil than the manufacturer's recommendation if you have removed the governor and are running the engine at high RPM. Their thoughts were the engine was running twice as fast, so...

    Go-Kart Starts to Bounce Really Bad @ 30mph

    Gearing / Torque Converter Question

    I'm currently running a 6.5 HP Honda GX200 (governed at 3600 rpm)with a torque converter and a jack shaft. There is a 10 tooth sprocket on the jack shaft and a 72 tooth sprocket on the axle, and 20" diameter rear tires. (see picture below) I'm assuming when the kart is at top speed the torque...

    Tire Sizing

    I'm looking to get some new knobby front tires for my old go-kart. (Picture attached below) The ones that are on it now don't hold air and have very little grip on grass. (yes I've tried to seal them with the slime stuff, but no luck) The tires on it now are tubeless size 15x6.00-6. I'm having...
