Hey everybody, I got a new engine (Powefist 196cc) a while back and put it on my mini baja. I put the torque converter from my old engine on the new one but something seems to be going wrong. Whenever I get the engine running, the torque converter is engaged all the way no matter how much throttle I give it or whether it's on choke or run. I don't know if this is related or not, but the handlebars are also vibrating like crazy. The torque converter is just made by OMB warehouse and fits a 3/4 bore. Thanks in advance for any ideas of the problem!

Take it all apart and clean and re-lubricate.....
Make sure the engine is also not running away by itself, as in the throttle is being pulled or something like that..

The governor arm is also swinging back and forth the entire time. Does that mean anything or does it always do that?
