Long time no see, DIYGK!
Well due to studies and my financial state my gokart may have been put off for another year.
But for now, since I managed to get a 6.5hp clone from a friend I thought I would make something that has been on my list. I'm hoping to do something on the budget end to get my hands dirty like a shopping trolly with an engine, or a little kids peddle car engine powered, to learn some more about small engines (and hopefully small turbos).
I started the engine up and it runs, though shakes a lot (like the exhaust gasses aren't fully released). I've tried two different valve lashings though neither really eliminated it (but 0.002" intake and 0.003" exhaust seemed to make the shaking less).
Anyone have some ideas that I should go through to remove the shaking?
Thanks,
Jay.
