ex17 govenor

[ogsigh]

was wondering if anyone has gained any preformance buy removing govenor on stock ex17 or if its pointless as some say thanks for your time

it's not a good idea unless you can get billet parts which i don't believe they make for those engines.

read this. yes it's focusing on Hondas/clones but that doesn't really matter.

Howdy neighbor.

You'll get a little more power and top speed out of it; the gamble is on how long the engine will last before something lets go. Subarus are built like Hondas, which is good, but running one ungoverned will probably lead to a piled-up rod sooner or later.

I'm running with no governor on mine and yes it makes a difference, and yes i rev the crap out of it without any issues, as long as you're running with good oil.

A great engine but best left alone IMO. It's not a $99 clone that you can return to HF or just but another. I'd recommend a cheater spring but I'm afraid I'd catch some crap about it.:anon.sml:

i don't run any billet stuff in my 5hp Briggs. hmy:

As long as you use good quality oil on the engine there wont be any prob, beside the valves will float before anything breaks.

using good quality oil will prevent the rod or flywheel from failing? that's the funniest shit i've read today.

OldMiniBikes does not support removal of the governer without the proper precautions even if those parts dont exist for your engine.


that being said,

dont over rev or rev it up sky high all the time and u should be fine. that doesnt mean something cant fail. but then again it can fail stock.

No, not at all and i don't find anything funny about "Good quality oil" :shrug:
The valves will float before then.

At least i know who in this forum is a $hithead that likes to point out useless posts and TRY to make fun with it.

no, you don't get it or understand why/when shit breaks.
