6.5HP PowerFist Mod Questions

[KartRacer695]

Hi there, I plan on purchasing a 6.5HP powerfist engine for my go-kart project, I am going to wait until it is on sale for $100. I want to do just basic mods such as:

Govenor removal
Straight pipe
K&N Air Filter
18lb Valve Springs

Will i need to put billet fly wheel + rod? what if i dont rev it so high? to break it in i just take it easy for the first tank of gas right? how about jetting? I kinda dont wanna go as far as billet rod + fly wheel but only if i need to. Maybe somthing like this? anytips or suggestions? thanks for reading. how about this performance kit + govenor removal?http://www.affordablegokarts.com/mm..._Code=A&Product_Code=BK1&Category_Code=GGBPKK

with those you will be fine without a rod or flywheel.

ok thanks, i think i will just get the stage 1 performance kit, what do you think?

You can make your own header easaly... if you dont want to tho that package should be good for starters.

i got mine for $100! lol it was on clearance for $99.99 they sold out of them completely

 

[Doc Sprocket]

$99.00? What, here? Where the he// was I?

 

[bajagokart]

is it true that PA is getting rid of their 6.5 hp clones? cause i havent seen them on their website or lately in a location for that matter

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Wow- I hope not! That would be bad news for Canadian Karters everywhere!!!

 

[freakboy]

no it would be better news cause they would look for a better engine then a crap clone

 

[Doc Sprocket]

Didn't see THAT coming...

 

[bajagokart]

lol well the smallest clone i can find is the 9 hp lol

 

[The Product]

no they r still here at newmarket princess auto

 

[bajagokart]

hmmm weird i havent seen any in red deer, both edmonton locations and both calgary locations

i wouldnt put 18lb springs on it.. no need for them at those mod levels.
keep stock springs on.. it will run just fine.

drill main out to .036" pilot to .020" run filter adapter and filter and a header..
remember longer(smaller dia) pipe helps LOW END short (large dia) helps higher RPMS


Goodluck with the build

 

[KartRacer695]

great thanks everyone, i now have a good idea as to what i should do.
