baja warrior engine running bad after govenor removal

[mo841]

so I removed the governor on my baja warrior mini bike and now it doesn't run very well. when I run it with the choke in the turtle position it wants to take off without me hitting the gas. I have to kill the bike to get it to stop. when I run it with the choke in the rabbit position I cant even get it to engage the centrifugal clutch.

I am guessing that it might be that I never checked the valve lash because I couldn't find any feelers. Tomorrow I am going to buy a set so I can check it. I Know for a fact that the dots on the inside are lined up right. Other than that maybe its the throttle linkage I made and put on there. I have it set so the butterfly is shut when the throttle is in and the butterfly is wide open when you turn the throttle. seems right to me but I may be wrong.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

Could very well be the valve lash...

What sort of direct linkage did you do now that the governor is gone?

Picks of your linkages please

ok so the first image shouldbe when my therotle is sitting in the closed position. the second should be when I have it wide open. I painted the link orange. There is no binding or anything. I checked the lash and it is good. so I guess the problem is in the carb some how.

thanks for any help!

so I started my other non modified warror at my dads today and found that the rabbit and turtle sticker is actually wrong for how they should run. I messed with my linkage a little more today and now it will idle without taking off, seems that the therotle was not sitting home all the way.(was dark out when I set up the link)

I dont think I gave it enough time last night to warm up properly as it was probably 35° out which is why it was sounding like crap. I kinda feel stupid now but thats life, live and learn lol.

I really appreciate the responses, thanks

Well you get the dummy of the month award!!!! JK.....

We all do stuff that seems really dumb in hindsight....(no one here has ever had a problem diagnosing a "no-run" issue because the fuel shut-off was closed or the kill switch in the off position.

Glad to hear you got it sorted out!

Yep, I did that just the other day; tried to start my lawn edger, which, ususally, starts first pull; after three pulls, I thought out loud "why aren't you starting?" To which I responded "because the power switch is in the off position, stupid..."

We all know the old saying: "It's OK to talk to yourself, until you start answering !"^^^^^ hmmmmmm.

Also just a thought... Make sure you clutch is properly lubricated.

Are you talking to mo841 or Fabromaniac?
