Howdy,
I have a B/S 5hp, on an old Manco kart, I've replaced the muffler with 12" pipe, taken off the carb, cleaned it, new diaphragm, gaskets, (B/S carb overhaul kit) and removed the governor linkage(external, did not go inside the motor).
The thing sounds sweet when I have it up on a milk crate, lots of power...but, as soon as I get it in it to take off, it bogs and dies.
I've tried every possble adjustment on the mixture screw, nothing.
Could it be a bad centrifigal clutch? It's a max torque, which is about a year or 2 old. We run thse around a dirt track in our yard by the way and this has just gotten progressively worse to the poitn where it is now.
Thanks for any and all help/suggestions.
