i ordered my clone engine from HF today. i was gonna try to get my 5hp tec to work, but i need to get another carb,mount it, tap the crankshaft to hold the sprocket, helicoil the intake bolt holes, and fix a nasty oil leak i discovered while running the engine yesterday.
i am curious what i should do to my clone engine first after i break in the engine. i want to remove the governor, but if i am in that far i best be adding something to it.
maybe could start a list going, so that way when people search they wont find just a bunch of generic posts with the words gx200, HF clone, clone motor, clone engine... etc..

Ya, u know the old saying to go fast cost money. it wasn't all that long ago you could buy all the pistons for a 350 chev for the price now for one o size 390 honda clone piston.

i knew about the filter and the header. i was more curious about internals. if i should just get the 18lb springs, and ride it like that until the winter and get more parts. over the winter i wanted to find a carb, cam, rocker arms, possible piston and rod. and i was going to port the head.

If you have a welder and some cutting tools, make your own header...that's what I did. Save some money...
