Definitely lean, lean, lean.
Check that float level...adjustable or not

[Russ2251]

Bring everything back up to stock to see if prob persists.

i agree.

 

[kendelrk]

my governor is gone, and i do not have the stock jet

 

[Doc Sprocket]

No governor req'd. Where'd the jet go?

 

[kendelrk]

what about the stock jet?
my neighbors is doing the same thing also, he has his stock get, a header, and no filter,

That'd be the part where Russ said, "Bring everything back up to stock to see if prob persists."

 

[kendelrk]

i dont have the stock jet anymore

 

[Russ2251]

Mr. Kendelrk:
Did your engine run correctly in it's full stock (out of the box) configuration? No problems at all?

 

[kendelrk]

i dont know, before my other ones carb went, i was riding and just was starting to have to choke it, this one i pulled out of the box put on all the things i had on the other, except the jet, it seemed to be running good, seemed good after the 90 but started notcing the choke problem and now its on the kart and doing the same thing

 

[Russ2251]

this one i pulled out of the box put on all the things i had on the other,

This was (respectfully) a mistake. May have been a defective engine to begin with.
Always make absolutely sure that a stock engine operates as advertised BEFORE making any mods.
Also, do mods one step at a time. Check out performance with each change. If satisfied with results, then go on to next step. Any mods should be reversible.
Right now, you have no idea where you are.

I always save old parts just in case.

 

[kendelrk]

your right, it was a mistake, a very big one, i guess i just really wanted to ride my mini bike, so i went aheaqd and just went with it, but i can say that before i was rejeted, it seemed to run pretty good, but not with a 90 jet, i might just have to go back to stock

 

[Russ2251]

Took me a couple years to get my engines to where they are now.
Much trial and error. Many hours of disassembling and re-assembling.
All with no outside help. I was (and still am) in uncharted territory.
A dozen carbs later and I think I'm getting close to where I want to be.
Lawn-Boy collectors hate me.

 

[kendelrk]

i think alot of us are still not 100 percent on our engines, but we know some, do you think i should start by getting the stock jet?

 

[Russ2251]

Bring it back to factory stock with whatever it takes.
Run the crap out of it for a few hours. If engine performs as it should, then take the next steps.
Do not worry about the governor (or the lack of it).

 

[kendelrk]

would not having the stock airbox cause a problem? as i do not have that either, for it to be stock i would need the jet, and the airbox,

 

[Russ2251]

See previous post. No exceptions if you want it right.
Start with a clean slate.

 

[B man]

what grade gas you running?
