clone ungoverned?

[Doc Sprocket]

its on my kart blue, i walked around and burnt myself, and choking does help, it has high flow air filter and exaughst, and a 90 jet it helps to have the choke about half, but the biggest problem is that i just blew my tire

The blown tire is not your biggest problem. Your biggest problem is that you gotta ride around with your choke on.

Yes, folks- I ride year round. The ice and snow are a blast. I've had it out in 10*F. 1-pull starts. Gawd I miss my GX340. *sniff*.

i think engines like cold better. especially tecumsehs.

as for clones im not sure. mine still seemed to start up OK in the winter... just took a little longer to warm up.

 

[kendelrk]

maybe put a big plow on the end of my kart and ride down the street

 

[Russ2251]

Your biggest problem is that you gotta ride around with your choke on.

Absolutely!!!
Mr. Kendelrk...this is very BAD news.

it helps to have the choke about half

Out of curiosity, why do you accept this?

 

[kendelrk]

i dont know, i know that at half choke it runs nicley, but full it gives problems like the engine starves for gas

 

[dave1701]

Can you return it and get another?

 

[Russ2251]

Running with choke on causes a couple of problems.
Pulling oil from crankcase (past rings) is one of them. Could be equated to reverse blow-by.
Given enough time, cylinder wall will destroy itself.

 

[kendelrk]

not a chance dave, governor and linkage is gone, and is it because of my jet?

 

[dave1701]

 

[kendelrk]

i wish i had the money, but this is all i have as of right now

 

[dave1701]

I know what you mean. I'm sure you'll get it fixed.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

maybe its even lean.

experiment with the stock jet. aka. make it a little bigger until it runs right.

 

[kendelrk]

the stock jet is gone, all i have right is a number 90,

 

[dave1701]

Would the high flow exhaust and filter cause it to be too lean?

 

[kendelrk]

im not sure, i know the exaughst is 1000 times better, but i just have an autozone filter on it now

 

[devino246]

Would the high flow exhaust and filter cause it to be too lean?

Thats generally what happens.

 

[Russ2251]

Would the high flow exhaust and filter cause it to be too lean?

Sorry to disagree with others...but the answer is no.

 

[devino246]

Sorry to disagree with others...but the answer is no.

Which Is why several of us have run lean when we switched, and a fatter jet got it running right?

 

[Russ2251]

The only thing a so called "high performance" filter can claim is its ability to last longer under adverse (read dirty) conditions.
In other words, it will last longer between needing to be cleaned or replaced.

Pipes will increase hp a few percentage points but will have no effect on what the engine can or cannot pull in.
Intake valve opens...piston goes down.
Exhaust valve opens almost 2 revolutions later.
I did not have to re-jet either of my clones.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

so THATS why i can run a straight pipe and stock airbox, and the jetting can remain the same.
