Any of you jokers gear heads? know anything about small gas engines?
I have a stock go kart. Top speed full throttle was a quite slow ‘meh’ with little chance of injury.
I removed the gas pedal limit bolt for full range. Also adjusted the throttle set screw on the engine to almost max that out. Additionally got bigger diameter tires for the drive wheels. Now she goes pretty fast at full throttle. No suspension on this thing so she bounces pretty good when you hit a bump in the road, especially at full speed. Injury potential much higher now.
the problem is - at full throttle, the engine only revs that high for a few seconds, then revs down by itself even with the gas pedal down full. Then after a few seconds, it will rev back up to full rpms. Then revs down again, etc.
any ideas? I think it’s a problem with the engine governor, and I need to adjust that.

The primary energy flux drive core has overloaded, causing an implosion in the gravetic particle warp field. The original machine may have a base plate of prefabulated amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two main spurving bearings were in a direct line with the panametric fan. The latter consists simply of six hydrocoptic marzlevanes, so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented. The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-deltoid type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a nonreversible tremmie pipe to the differential girdlespring on the "up" end of the grammeters.

So, you admit that your toy is now dangerous. You have modified it in a manner not consistent with the original manufacturers intent. When you bust your ass on this thing, you will probably sue the manufacturer. This is some Darwin Award shit. Best wishes. |

My bet would be that either your carburetor is dirty probably due to a sticking float or isn't large enough to manage the load you are putting on it. Take it apart and clean it or replace it and I bet you will be maintaining high enough speeds to cause major injury.

Quit being such a pussy.
Just swap out the carb with a Holly 750 double pumper and call it a day.

Agreed, except I'd add that the nonreversible tremmie pipe should be hand-hewn, wooden and from Eastern Europe. possibly
