clone ungoverned?

As long as it isn't jellied napalm gas sludge or old, it shouldn't matter.

i thought when you mod one to the point of re-jet and high flow filter you need to have a higher grade gas.

im running 87 b man, and the gas may be a bit old, i might just need to clean everything up,

NO.

 

[Russ2251]

If properly warmed up, a clone will run on kerosene.

 

[B man]

NO.

what happens if you do?

Nothing...a waste of dinero.

well the capital "NO" made me think something bad might happen.

 

[kendelrk]

no, ive been running it on 87 always, i just want to drive my kart already

Nope, higher grades are just for higher compression engines so that the gas doesn't ignite early from high compressive forces, causing engine "ping" (IIRC). Really only applies in cars with higher performance engines. The larger jet just allows MORE gas to flow.

guys what is the standard jet size? im seeing regular replacement, but on another sight i see where i can pick from a certain main jet number http://www.affordablegokarts.com/mm...tore_Code=A&Product_Code=HON**&Category_Code= what size should i go with?what would work best?

 

[kendelrk]

well i just bought some new fuel line and a plug, just for the heck of it after cleaning out the carb, i went to put it back together, and the hose is way to big, and its letting it drip out of the hose, if i used a peice of the old fuel line, maybe an in line fuel filter to the main gas line, would it would well?

 

[jeremybentham]

Make sure all your bolts are tight to rule out a leak. Carb, intake, exhaust, fuel line, all of them.
Fresh gas.

 

[kendelrk]

It's fresh gas, and it's coming out of the line itself, it's not any other problems,

Try it. Oughta take you about 2 mins to find out.

 

[kendelrk]

no way it will work, the hose it to thick, so im going out to the hardware store to get some of the right size fuel line, if this dosent correct the problem, what size jet should i go with? im at 90 now
EDIT: i bought a new plug. just for the heck of it, and to my suprise the plug wasnt very white at all, more black like carbon, so i dont think it was running lean, maybe rich? and heres a pic of the engine and my throttle linkage and sorry for the low quality photos

 

[redsox985]

I believe that black is rich. But also, put a filter on that intake when you run it.

 

[kendelrk]

there is a filter on when i ride, the filter is off because of having to lossen/tighten the carb bolts,
edit, i just did what you said russ, poured in some gas,and started her up, rode it around a bit off the choke, no choke at all and it was fine, but then it started to stumple when given gas kinda like my tecumseh, so i pulled the plug, and heres what i seen

 

[kendelrk]

just pulled the carb, hooked up the gas tank and checked, i know the gas is getting to the carb, but its not coming out of the carb, , fuel shut off valve?
edit, i just put on an old carb, that got burnt in a fire and has no parts really, and hooked it up, fuel is coming through but not on this one,

 

[kendelrk]

russ gets point for running lean, but blue won because he told me what was wrong with it, i was getting no fuel flow to the carb, drilled it out like he said, and now my karts running perfect
