clone mods!!!!!!

[CLONE-EST_24]

okay im new to this an i been reading day in an day out but i have a pep boys clone honda 6.5 its lifan it hits 41mph rite now but im rebuilding my go kart from tires up an i want more power im adding all these parts.

stage one kit from affordablegokarts.com (air filter adapter, high flow air filter, larger main jet (#90 ), 18lb valve springs and a header)

also i wanna take off the govenor an add a e-tube but i was wondering will this be enough an will it change much ?

I doubt anymore top speed besides the governor removel (8mph more?), thats all gearing, this should all help your torque.

 

[CLONE-EST_24]

Like if I remove the governor will I need to replace any other parts in engine or will they brake when I start floating the valves?? An I'm also getting a tiny tach meter to watch the rpms what rpms should I run the engine at so it doesn't fly apart??

An I'm also getting a tiny tach meter to watch the rpm what rpm should I run the engine at ?? So it doesn't fly apart??

Under 5,000 rpm should be fine.

 

[solomon]

5500 is fine, thats about valve float, let me know how that tach tach works, i want one, all i have is the one you hold in a tach gun

if you have fears of the engine flying apart, you can replace the rod for a billet one. Agk sell them. Do you plan on changing the flywheel?

by adding the kit, you will get to speed faster. you may see an increase in top speed.

 

[solomon]

you will only see an increase in top speed if you pull the governor, SPEED is RPM x GEARING

so parts will do nothing but get you to the same top speed faster. You have to turn more RPM's or change the gearing for more top speed.

 

[modelengineer]

You have to turn more RPM or change the gearing for more top speed.

Yep (fixed rpm for you there, no need to thank me)

haha

place clone in dumpster buy bike engine... instant horse power and reliablilty gain!

 

[solomon]

I really wish i had a welder just for the purpose of making mounts for an engine like that

 

[CLONE-EST_24]

haha i would get a bike engine but its for my senior project at my school we have to make a project an i chose to restore my old go kart but the engine is like a couple years old an about the flywheel an rods i was just going to run stock. Im not going to go that high on rpms

 

[modelengineer]

Im not going to go that high on rpm

Sounds like a cool project.

Clone's are great engines to learn basic principals on. You'll have lots of fun removing the governor and upgrading parts.

Have you thought of adding a two speed jackshaft or a TAV?

 

[solomon]

Briggs 5hp Flatty's are more fun to play with. =)

 

[CLONE-EST_24]

I was thinking bout adding a tav for more torque when I need it going up hills but I'm still desiding haha my cuzins little buggy/ go kart has one an omg there amazin!!

 

[solomon]

TAV are Awesome! Deff, one of the biggest thing you can do yo a kart.

 

[vgk]

Yea tavs are the coolest! You can get the 30 series frome comet and have a higher top speed too!

 

[CoyCaller]

I think that the John Deere Gators and Kawasaki Mules have the comet type converters on them. Has anyone tried one of those systems on their karts? Not sure how easy they are to get a hold of.
