Wow, didnt know this was going to cause such a mental traffic jam! However in my state it is licensed as registered as a suzuki gs 500 because thats the fork and headtube with vin#s i used to build it.

Well that is not going to fly bird because the California State Law says that any vehicle that is registered in another state has to spend more time on California roads than it's own state in order to have to comply with the California state vehicle laws as long as the vehicle complies within the registered state laws of the licensed vehicle there is no violation. I just don't see how he could get a ticket for just visiting California,I have never heard of that. Please elaborate on your information resources?

I agree. You will be fine here in CA. If you have valid up to date tags from NV. Even if they are expired cops have no point in harassing you cause they cant find you after you go home. What are they gonna do cancel a non existant Ca Drivers lic. I live in San Diego and some weekends you cant swing a dead cat without hitting some clown from AZ coming to see Shamu or the ocean. It would be dumd for the CHP or local cops to run all that tourist money out of town!

Carb question

You know, this thread has been a 3 ring circus, however no one has suggested an aftermarket carb for the 420. I asked earlier in a post for suggestions? Anyone??

Walbro or Mikuni might have something that would work. Or I think the 420cc is a Honda gx390 clone(someone correct me if I'm wrong hehe) but you could always buy a genuine Honda carb. :).

thanks for your suggestions. i was hoping somebody on this forum would have an better carb on a larger go kart engine so i could here if its an improvement or not. nothing wrong with my carb however im not sure if im sucking the right air fuel mixture in and how restrictive the stock carb is.

road trip

Ill make sure when we go to california, to take pics along the route and let you guys know what problems we run into or if it was a quiet trip, concerning engine, chain and or clutch issues. No one has ever drove this far on one of these engines, that i know of. This will be interesting for sure.:popcorn:

Have you checked the spark plug? Its colour will tell you if the mixture is off...

It's one thing to add a high flow air filter so the engine can breathe in but, looking at your exhaust, it appears rather restrictive; a larger exhaust can make a world of difference...

Take a deep breath, now breathe out... through a straw! Effectively, that's what your engine is doing... ;)
