governor removal 670cc

[ROLY239]

If i remove the governor gear from my 670cc, will i have to modify the governor arm or can I just take the gear out and that will be fine?

Show us the pictures. I've never seen a governor on a 670cc. If it is like a small block clone, and you want to keep the linkage... then might be able to cut the shaft shorter inside the block. Keep the straight part, cut off the bent part.

The big v-twin clones are a bit of a rarity around here...
The bigger shaft, large physical size and not many regular Bolt-on driveline components... Not to mention it's a little on the outside of the power band of most of the vehicles we work on here, that are capable of handling it...

Hasn't Red Beard done that a couple of times?

Took the picture from a red beard video, but red beard took the governor arm out while cars and cameras just left it in.

Think I’m just gonna end up doing this, do I have to mess with any of the return springs?

Take the shaft out and put a bolt in it's place. Basically plug the hole...

I’m building an off-road gokart with a 670cc predator engine, and a comet 40 series torque converter. I’ve just resprayed the chasis and it’s finally starting to come together! Will post pictures tommorow!

Im going out on a limb here... but I think that 40 series wont handle the HP from the motor... max I see is 18... that 670 is 22hp...

The cars and camera guys have been using a 40 series on the 670cc jr dragster. AFAIK, without too many issues. Nvrmnd, they swapped it out for a 780 or something.

It can handle it, as long as I’m using comet belts though.
