Revving stock clone

[crazycart]

Yeah....that video doesn't prove anything. First it IS modified. Second, the engine didn't even make it to max rev (can tell by sound). And Third it was hooked up to the wheel AND on the ground, that is called a LOAD. Irrelevant.


And russ....what were you doing with that engine? Just on the stand WOT?

 

[BriggsTwins]

it still smacked 5K

Wasn't me!!!
Pics came from an old post by loneagle.
He erroneously concluded that destruction was caused by disabling governor.
In reality, it was the free running/no load (by his own admission) that caused this carnage.

i may remove the gov on my clone then.

Why not?

Cos I was worried about flywheel explosions. I'm too young to die! What kinda rpm does the rod blow at then?

 

[freakboy]

the rod will blow when it wants to blow it wont come out of the back of the block and into you the flywheel will not blow and im sure the spring retainers will snap before the rod breaks..

Unknown to me, but is far less than a 'splodin f-wheel.
If you are running an otherwise stock engine, you have nothing to worry about.

 

[bajagokart]

did you do that to a 6.5 clone or a 13 hp clone? cause i would love to get my 13 hp clone going 5600 rpm!

 

[freakboy]

u can do it to anything.. baja you should also think about upgrading your power band to a adjustable one. the 6.5s dont have one but the 13s do.

 

[crazycart]

upgrading your power band to a adjustable one

Your kidding right

 

[freakboy]

Yea i bought one of those for my dirtbike once because it didnt even come with a powerband stock, made such a difference, just wish i could have gotten one in blue!

Haha, i actually had someone ask me if all dirtbikes come with a powerband once. I also got into a huge argument with someone much bigger than me over powerbands, he said only two strokes got em...

 

[bajagokart]

Lol is a new powerband really nessisary? lol I just blew like 1000 bucks on headers and a new carb for my 383 stroked in my blazer lol so I'm kinda tight on money right now!

 

[bajagokart]

Stroker*

 

[freakboy]

yeah power bands are worth it! it gave my oppy twin bout 6 more horses.

modified? air filter and a homemade header. LOL yeah its an open motor thats all the motor turns the springs limit it. it runs 38mph WTFO 11" tire 5:1 ratio

you guys can say what you want but they race these clones all over the country with the mods I have done and they turn them ALL RACE LONG 5K plus RPMS

[bajagokart]
