[hondatrikesrule22]

What will it look like? Is it a screw?

[thehickfarmer]

[hondatrikesrule22]

Ok,I found it...do I loosen or tighten it?

[hondatrikesrule22]

Hey, i just built a racing go kart, 5hp briggs motor, bent, welded, cut all metal. Anyways, heres how you can make it faster....

1.) Mess around with your gear ratios.

2.) Billet Rod

3.) Dyno Cam

4.) Get carb blueprinted

it all depends on how much money you want to put in it. If you want a fast motor, find a builder who will do it.

get some nitrous and run it on alchohol and mess with the gear ratios...or fab up new mounts and put a tecate motor in it or something...

bore, hone, bigger carb, gear ratios, pipe wink
