adjusting

I'm looking for a brake cable adjusting sleeve for drum brakes like the picture below. I know I can buy them at various places but where can I get one without paying a lot for shipping? a lot of places want $7 to ship a tiny thing like this. Heck it probably only sells for $3... Any...

Hello there. I'm in the process of fine tuning my Lawn Boy Powered Tav2 equipped mini bike and I'd like to change the stall or engagement RPM in both the driver clutch and the driven clutch to a higher RPM value. My driver clutch is a genuine Comet part but I see no colour markings on both...

I just bought a replacement carb for my predator 212. i put in the 140 imulsion tube and #37 jet. this new carb has an adjustable pilot screw, how many turns should that be adjusted out?

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...

I bought a Bird Romper a week or so ago. It starts greatand runs great. The problem is the TAV. I'm not sure what is causing it but by the time the clutch engages the motor is at full rev. The bike just pops wheelies and dumps you of the back. Is there a way to adjust it? Can a worn belt...

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

I have been searching thru lots of threads trying to find some direction, but have not been able to find answers. Anyway, I have a 5hp Briggs Fun Power on a go kart. Everything is hooked up correctly, but the engine never seems to make it to the 3600 RPM max that it is supposed to allow. I'm...

Hey guys..just got my old Gilson mini out that has a H35 TEC on it. It starts right up, and runs nice..but I'm not getting much top end power out of it, and I have to keep the choke lever on the middle setting. When I turn choke all the way off, the engine dies (sometimes) How do I adjust this...

My predator idles too fast. Is there an easy way to adjust the idle?

Hello all. I picked up a new 212cc Predator engine recently to run in an old mini-bike of mine. I loosened the throttle arm nut, and hooked up a throttle, but I can't seem to get the dumb thing to idle. The engine engages the clutch even when idling, and it idles quite high. I can't...

I recently picked up a 3hp Flo Jet Briggs and the darn thing wont idle. I dont know where the idle screw is and im not sure how to adjust it. Any good starting points for an all stock 3hp briggs?

I dont have my book right now and i want to check valve lash and adjust it if necessary. Motor is a 66' ish 3hp briggs horizontal shaft. What is the setting suppose to be,? exhaust valve is on left im assuming? help!

I put a GC160 in a new go kart for my grandkids, and the max speed is a little too high for my taste. I suppose I could limit the throttle adjustment, but that would also restrict the power at slow speed. Is it practical to adjust the governor to limit the the max RPMs to a lower value? If...

Hi guys. I've tried to find an answer to this but it isn't happening. HF 6.5 clone. Turning idle screw doesn't do anything. The black lever on the carb that presses against the idle screw doesn't contact the screw at idle. Or if you like, the governor rod is holding the carb open at idle...

This is a drawing of the governor mechanisum that the makers of the Doodle Bug motor (DB30) copied Note that the spring that runs between the two linkages has 3 holes on the left shaft and two holes on the right that it can be put in thereby giving a total of 6 different settings that it...

OK Im almost completely done with rebuilding my Bonanza (pictures soon when my girl loads them on photbucket) but first got a quick question. I put the new brakes on, by the way the repro stuff sucks, anyway when I installed the cable it was pretty long so I cut the outer housing and cable but...
