Old man needs governor help clone (Greyhound) 212cc

[Hellion]

Thats correct, when it hits the tap it is running too fast. It has to slide under the tap to slow down. Is that the way it is suppose to work?

The lever runs right into it on my stock 212cc Rotaderp Hemi model 60363. Mine has a cable clamp there. That’s full throttle IDLE SPEED with that lever pushed forward in the kart’s direction of travel. My mistake.

Make sure you have a stout throttle return spring there.

Yup, I watched that earlier. There must be something out of wack, because when it hits the stop it's not WOT, but it is running too fast to NOT engage thw clutch.

 

[Kablooie]

It works that way if the foot throttle is hooked up or not.

 

[Kablooie]

Yes, I added a stout return spring, but again it works that way regardless of the foot throttle being hooked up.

Check the rod from the carb to the governor arm at the carb side.
Ive had it jump out of the hole when installing the carb and it binds the butterfly to not close.

Thanks.

When you get it and/or have success, let us know.

 

[Kablooie]

Will do.
