idle

I am re-building a wrecked go-kart for my grandson. It has a OHH50 Tecumseh engine and while the engine was only run for about 5 minutes before the previous owner wrecked it, it has sat for 3 years. I changed the oil and could not get it to run except for spraying carb cleaner in the...

Hello everyone, this is my first post.. I recently built a 212 Predator with the Hemi head and need some help tuning Here is what I did to the build- Removed the govoner Removed the low oil Spenser Installed air filter and adapter Minibike header 18lb valve springs Racing spark...

Hello, new guy here. I have a gc 5hp from a pressure washer I was using for a go kart for my kids. It's low idle is terrible, and just dies. It had been sitting for years. I figured the jets were clogged so I blew them out with some compressed air. I will need to pull them completely and clean...

I got my 5hp Industrial Plus 133432 running today. Runs great! But, I can't figure out the governed idle. Its too high and my clutch is engaging making the bike roll away. I did the static governor adjustment, idle mixture adjustment, and its still too high (1750-1800 rpm.) there is no governed...

With the current throttle set-up I am running, I do not have much play. (Throttle only turns about an inch.) I have been playing with the idle screw but am having a hard time finding an in between. I am having to set the idle so high that it is engaging the clutch which causes the bike to move...

Had scooped up a 3 horse Briggs but it doesn't wanna seem to idle with out me holding the throttle...it stays idling by itself if I have the idle adjustment screw all the way in and if I screw it out at all it wants to die I'm clueless

When ur adjusting the idle should the motor be running been getting mixed answer from my friends and they are not the brightest crayon in the box reason im asking is bc the motor is running like I beast when I switch out of choke thanks

got a used animal was used for go kart when it had a restrictor plate on it ran fine took the carb apart cleaned it removed plate now it runs ok but will not idle not too familiar with the adjustment on the walbro pz carb please help . i do not think it was running meth would it run on gas if it...

I recently had an oil seal replaced on the ol' Cat. It has a 1966 4hp Briggs & Stratton. But now when I start her up the clutch engages and the bike lurches forward. I'm guessing the idle needs to be adjusted.:shrug: Which screw is the idle adjustor? Or is there another problem? Thank you in...

I never met a carb I couldn't get to behave. I wonder if I even have a carb problem. Anyway, I got this HS40 in my ARCo I just intro'd with, and I'm freshening things up. I got it running, and it just won't idle. It needs choke. I had it apart- everything is clear, even the little passage in...

Just installed mikuni and billet intake to my honda clone and it idles so high that the clutch engages. I think its not air leak because i sprayed some gasoline over the manifold and nothing, the idle screw it allway back.:confused:

. I can't get my clone to idle low enough. It's idles fast enough to keep the clutch engaged. I tried turning down the idle screw but it didn't help much. I also cleaned the entire carb out. Any suggestions

Trying to get my sons' go kart up and running. I don't have much experience with these karts, so bear with me. With help from the kart section on this forum, I was able to replace the clutch assembly. But now the issue is that the engine just won't settle down to a good idle. It's revving...

Trying to get my sons' go kart up and running. I don't have much experience with these things, so bear with me. With your help, I was able to replace the clutch assembly, and it's great. But now the issue is that the engine just won't settle down to a good idle. It's revving hard at all...

I saw this on Ebay-it looks like a better carb to use for my Taco Two Stroke. I noticed it has the idle speed screw,of course,but what are the two other screws for? Does this carb have two mixture adjustments? Thanks for any info.

I just installed the billet flywheel and 8 degree advance timing on my engine. The former being WELLLLLL overdue. Now when I have it running it wont idle, top end is fine. If I turn the idle screw up it starts moving and still dies. What's wrong, also didn't do this with stock timing?

Hello, just bought a db 30 over the weekend. It starts first pull, runs very well at fast idle, however, as soon as you apply the throttle, it dies, if you quickly release the throttle, it will return to idle and continue to run. I don't see much in the way of being able to adjust the...

I didn't see an "intro" thread, name's "Stinky" Scott from VA :out: I've got a 1979 8hp Briggs horizontal. Just got the carb back from the local small engine shop (I got tired of fooling with it aka: it was making me angry) and got the little motor fired up last night but it idles sky high and...

ill start with the specs first: 5hp flathead, shaved eyebrows, billet rod, stronger valve springs, and strait pipe. engine ran fine, then i took it off the bike (doodlebug) and changed the oil, i noticed that i was missing a head bolt (the one inbetween the intake and exhaust ports) so i put...
