alan_k Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Good one Jock. Maybe the nipple on the carb is a breather as on the Bing carb? See the two clear tubes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jock Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 There is a bolt on supercharger out there for the Honda we had one when i used to run an indoor kart center it went like stink Im sure someone will try one.im going for the subrau gx200 its far more robust than the honda,double bearing crank,cooling fins in cases and head.better head set up and should last way more than the hondagx200.there is a subaru kx21 kart engine with the head mods.govner removed that you can just bolt reduction on and fly.engine for less than£300.cheap flying 4 stroke.The ex21 fuel injected one is £285 ish.& the subrau is ohc.

garyfreefly Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 do you reckon the fuel injection system can cope with the extra revs...and deliver enough fuel without any mods....when you remove the rev limiter....if so its got to be a winner as all my problems with my project come from fueling PS my gx 200 in its current form is supposed to develop around 18-20hp but like you when I rev it up I am getting a fuel flow/leak out of that overflow from the carb bowl....I as going to reroute it via a T piece back to the tank ???? ..... from what you are saying this might not be the way forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyfreefly Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Woh.......big list of mods lightweight Flywheel, billet con rod..piston and rings .. gas flowed ported head .. different valves and springs and rockers and pushrods, high lift cam, timing key , Carb, stud kit, balanced crank and low friction bearings....and a stupidly loud exhaust.....that needs to be changed before it flys (one day)..... I think I might need to look at the Bailey carb then..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
