do i need to drill bigger jets?

[og35891]

So i have the governor removed and a custom header with a k&n filter. Do i need to rejet?

Yes you need to rejet for the best performance. Also, buy a billet flywheel. See the sticky at the top regarding the governor.

Yes you'll want to rejet as tlizard2 stated. I found some small drill bits at Harbor Frieght that got the job done.

haha i got the new filter today and slapped it on, it doesn't accelerate nearly as well as the stock filter. I know that its the jets and so i plan on only drilling out one size and leave it at that. Its plenty fast and looks a lot better. I just cant justify spending 100 bucks for a flywheel, like really its just a piece of metal????:hammer: but if anybody wants to sell one used for cheap look me up :thumbsup:

The GXV lawn mower flywheel ( Honda ) is 3 pounds and was designed for a blade brake. Its plenty strong and thats what most people used before billet.

New they are cost the dealers around 50 bucks. NR sells it for double that shop around and sometimes you can get a deal on one.

Although the GXV mower engine is getting hard to find.

Thanks Oldschool way helpful, have you tried this?

how about this? Honda GXV 390 13 HP Engine Flywheel Fan | eBay

Thats just the plastic fan, and it's from a big block, so it's a few inches larger than your flywheel.
