I finally got my clone engine to run smoothly. Starts up each time and runs like a champ. However, I noticed that with my current gearing 12t/72t it has amazing acceleration with plenty of torque, but the top end sucks. I think I'm maxing out at 20mph before the governor kicks in.
Debating if...
I'm interested in having some work done on a 6.5 clone engine. My goal is to make 20 horsepower on 91 octane.
I know there's AGK, NR-Racing, and Stout Racing Engines. Any others? Looking to spend less than $800.00 to make this much power.
So I finally got my clone to idle decent. I did a couple full throttle passes and cut the engine, then pulled the spark plug to see how its running. I noticed that the engine lacks power in high rpms (feels like its starving for fuel; lean.) Anyways, the spark plug tip was white, which confirms...
Originally purchased the AGK throttle grip twist assembly kit (w/kill switch) and I must say that it's complete crap. This was the culprit as to why my throttle would never return on its own.
Anyways, I'm starting over with my throttle setup and need the following:

Need help in getting my 6.5 clone engine to idle properly. Whenever I start it up (cold engine) it runs fine for a few seconds with the choke in "closed" position. However, after a minute or so, the engine suddenly dies out. I just purchased this engine last week from Harbor Freight and was...
UPDATE ON PAGE 2. STILL NEED HELP.
I purchased this throttle linkage kit and cable from AGK. For some reason, I can't figure out how to get the throttle lever to operate properly. After installation, I tried controlling the throttle via throttle grip on handlebar, and it just gets stuck. Here...
Hey everyone. Sorry if this sounds like a newbie question, but I'm trying to figure out if I need to buy a special crankshaft key to work with the max torque clutch I bought. The stock key that comes with the clone engine seems to be too long.
Do I need to modify it (ex: shorten/cut it?)...
Hello everyone,
I just wanted to share a few pictures of my project that I'll be working on from now until summer. I originally purchased this minibike back in 1996. The original motor it came with was a Tecumseh 3.0HP, which was okay back then, but now, it seems as if everyone is running at...
