Cheater spring?

#1
Hey all, I'm Rick, newbie on this site. I'm a mid 40's kid! I just bought a 6.5 from HF. I was reading about the gov and came across something about a cheater spring. What and how and where do you put it?

My old tech 6.5 went boom! Swallowed a valve as I was trying to sell it. I have a murray kart like a mini sand rail I guess. So I did a total restore. Put the engine on and all was well but I can see I'm gonna need a little more POWER! I don't want to replace the rod and flywheel etc. I am selling this. The new owner can do as they please. So whats the deal on this cheater spring and how can I tweek this 6.5? I want to keep it mostly stock.

Thanx for any input and I look foward to sharing anything I can as well as receiving any input from you motor heads!

Rick

If you are only building it to sell then leave the gov on, all it will help is top speed and I would hope anyone just test riding would not hit top speed
