Central Machinery

Just bought a Central Machinery 6.5hp engine - not being good mechanically, I am struggling to see how to add the throttle cable. Could someone help on this?

Thanks!

check www.afordablegokarts.com they sell linkage for Honda and Honda clones, I have the same engine, and can take pix if u hit a dead end! are u gonna mod the blue motor at all?

No - I am not making any modifications to the motor, don't know that much about it. I've got the engine mounted with clutch put on and chain added. I am trying to get the throttle cable to the engine and I just can't see it.

Thanks for the response.

conect the throttle cabel directly to the butterfly on the carb. disconnect all linkages going to the butterfly beforehand

Fixed it for you. Loosen that nut, and you'll know what to do.

Bad idea with a stock engine, if running a clone ungoved im pretty sure you need a billet rod and I would strongly recommend a better flywheel. If you have a tach adjust the gov to max at 5200 rpms, this is where it makes the most power stock, in the 8hp range IIRC.

where do you connect the throttle linkage to? or do you change the gov to the choke linkage?
