Take some time to cruise the posts in this forum. You will learn a lot, and 99% of performance tips apply to ALL engines, so you don't necessarily need specific info for yours. Most of us ar perfectly willing to help, but we tend to have more respect for a person that does a little homework, and therefore can be a little more specific with questions, such as, "I'd like to remove my governor and maybe upgrade my carb. Which should I do first?"

lol thanks an i am new to this forumn thing an to small engines but im not new to engines period just im used to chevy 350s an stuff an im good welder an mechanic but i will do my homework before postin thanks

yea do homework theres a lot of questions here answered in the stickeys or something that are just...... as long as you don't post questions like how do i remove my gov then when someone tells you how you ask "wheres the block"? i almost cried reading stuff like that, lol. good luck with your engine though tons of info on the web, main things are gov, flywheel, carb jets, air filter, header. then you get into more stuff like compression, bigger bore cylinders you know stuff that basically makes the engine a completely different engine

if u are a good mechanic then u should have no issues as most skills convert over to small engines

ok thanks

a good site for somewhat basics of these type of engines is affordablegokarts.com if you have a basic knowledge of engines this site will show you some great tips for these types of engines

 

[Routy]

Open headers

 

[Routy]

that will be the first thing i do lol better flow an really loud sounds good. i also want to know how to advance the timing i have read how to but its usually for engines that are way different than mine

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

To advance the ignition timing buy/make an offset flywheel key, this will advance the magnets position, thus advancing the timing. I wouldn't do more than a few degrees, listen carefully for knock. AFAIK These dont really have a curve so to speak, it just jumps form very little to full advance when it starts. Advancing the cam timing is pretty much impossible unless you go a whole tooth(probably too much), watch piston-valve clearance if you try this.

sounds like alot of work lol ive decided to find someone who wants to buy my engine or trade for a horizontle make things easier thanks for all the help but verticle shaft engines are way to much work to build a go kart
