Runs lean, placing a GX390 Carburetor, Carburetor Adapter, UNI Air Filter + Adapter, and a nitrous injection kit on it.

Wet or dry nitrous? Thats a pretty high compression setup, does it run pump gas?

how much hp stock vs now?

Dude i would stop screwing around with those stock honda carbs, get a mikuni it will really wake that thing up.

Yes, right now it's running a mixture of 89/93. Getting pure 93 today.

You tell me. There aren't any guys with Dynos I know of here. I could send it do NR and get it Dynoed for like $75, but who knows that UPS will do to it. People with similar setups are around 20-25HP.

First things first. Put that GX390 carburetor n' stuff on. It runs lean now, need to straighten that out. When I really "get to it", I'll be switching to a 22mm Mikuni (Hopefully genuine one), and alky (I have some professional help )

The carburetor adapter adapts GX390 carbs and Mikuni 22's. Another goody. I might take a video of it with a pipe today. Today or tomorrow. Right now my top priority is to get it to run on that kart.

EDIT - At time of filming, it was still being broken in. Was running dino oil WalMart brand 10W-30 Motor oil. Synthetic doesn't seat the valves correctly.

Thats a pretty high compression setup,

Stock head is around 22cc. The dished piston also took away around 8cc. So I've earned around 16cc's back.

The guy across the street :rolleyes3:

Nah, it's (Pointing up)

 

[jr dragster T]

NITROUS!! Yay! As soon as you get your mikuni 22 i can start helping you for a alky setup. I would say a #20 main jet would be PERFECT. JK

Keyword "when"

Muhahahahaha

 

[jr dragster T]

Guess what Oscar? This winter I am going to do some mod's to my clone. This is what I plan. Remove goverener, Billet intake 22 mm mikuni carb and the UNI air filter. Also Billet rod and Billet ARC flywheel. Sound good?

 

[oscaryu1]

Yup! But it depends on your budget. If you wanna save $25, you could get the aluminum flywheel, ect...

This is where I can help

 

[jr dragster T]

How come it says on AGK to set the valve lash after removing the governer? I dont need too? and NO I am going the safe way and buying a ARC billet flywheel. But realy I dont wind out my kart alot so who says I even need a billet rod and flywheel? I RARELY even have it doing 3600 RPM stock!

Im pretty sure the PILOT on my kehin thats on my honda spree is bigger than that!

 

[jr dragster T]

I was joking around with him. Because he was saying he has profesionaly Alcohol carb help (meaning me) and I was joking my saying # 20.

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

Yes I know.

 

[oscaryu1]

Awww... I bought a #20...

Jk jk

GX390 setup didn't work. It was 1) Don't run or 2) Run only when gas down plug hole and runs very fast idle...

Oh well

 

[oscaryu1]

Took the kart out for a spin today. Sounds really low with the stock muffler!

That means it's a sleeper! Now go sneak up and someone in your neighborhood who also has a kart and BLOW THEM AWAY!!!!!

Nice job on the engine, btw.

 

[oscaryu1]

Thanks haha!

Well, I'm uploading a video of a low speed spin around the neighborhood (Who would want to drop a $300 digital camera?!)

It works great! It really is a sleeper, even with the candy cane header.

Now to finish up my Briggs 5HP...
