Let's see a video of this cause nobody believes this thing runs. 30 secs is fine. Time to put up or ...

youtube link of an attempted burnout in the garage:

too slick to smoke. but in the video i tried adjusting the air and it almost died.
At the end it did die from not manipulating the throttle enough.

If nothing else, you have proven it will move under it's own power. This is a landmark event.

Lol. Who gave it a thumbs down already? Haters gon hate. How'd you manage a video that's almost a minute 30 seconds?

i used my laptop for that one. That's why i was worried about my wi-fi not re-syncing up.
lol, funny pic.

I'm sure the thumbs down came from a gamer-troll. i blocked him from my page.

+ installed my jetted .03125 that i drilled with a 1/32 drill bit and it runs better. i may need to drill bigger.

 

[FreeRunner15]

Drilled my emulsion tube with a 5/64 bit ( .078125 ) and i can definitely feel the "snap" now. i am definitely happy about it lol. starts first pull. i just need a dual fitting coming from the rocker cover so i can pressurize the fuel tank as well as the pump.

so right now i have a 1/16 (.03125)main jet and 5/64.(.078125) emulsion tube.
i really like it.

Those are really oversize.... How much flames are spitting out on deceleration...

i dont know, i'd have to take off the stock muffler to find out. i am curious now. i bet it would pop loud.

when i just had the 1/16 main jet it backfired through the carb. it hasnt done that , at least yet, since i drilled the tube.

 

[bob58o]

Congrats. For real.

 

[FreeRunner15]

Well it works. i can feel the huge power increase. makes me glad to have a connecting rod even though the rpm's are below valve float.

a good reason my engine keeps trying to kill its self is cause there is no pressure in the tank. i broke the connector on top of the tank so i need to add another with a 90* fitting.

if i decide to keep using the fuel pump i will add a 3 way fitting from the valve cover. 1 for the pump and 1 to pressurize the tank.

i tested it with a temporary rig and it kept running without me touching it until gas started spewing out of the carb.
+ stripped the carb screw hole. That's the worst part. way too easy to strip. The screw goes in tight with the carb bowl off but with the bowl on it doesnt tighten, just keeps screwing and loosening. this engine has been high maintenance from the start. Now i see why everything on vehicles became electronic.

..or maybe it's the fact i dont have the carb float in it.
but i REALLY dont want to remove the bowl just to ATTEMPT 1000 tries to screw the bowl on there good.

BMI karts has gx200/clone "generator" carbs in the clearance section for about $15. I think the only difference is the way the choke is applied. Sure doesnt hurt to have a spare anyways.

Heyyy, i gots one of those. Havent tried using it yet but it came from a generator and the choke lever is shaped funny.

 

[chancer]

I think they only 10 bucks now at BMI

 

[Poboy kartman]

Just went there....saw them for $13ish...Saw some really good deals on carb kits and parts so...built up a $30 shopping cart....THEN....I calculated shipping....uh huh...yeah right ...typical BMI BS! $21 for shipping.

They can keep their crap! I can pay a little more elsewhere, but not getting raped on the shipping....it'll be cheaper!

 

[chancer]

I have an uncle in Ohio, I could have him pick up stuff there and ship it myself for half what they charge!!!
I like to use their site to make a good wish list, then print it and purchase elsewhere! I have done that!!!

 

[FreeRunner15]

20? for shipping? woww. what if i sell what you guys need,anything off of their site, for only $15 shipping?

lol, i'm just joking but i really could do that..
check this site out. everything from BMI but with FREE SHIPPING. yes free shipping. its where i bought my brake and 12 tooth TAV sprocket.
so basically, it's like geting a huge discount.
