For sure. With a numbered drill bit index, you can enlarge the jets as much as you wish. What size main jet is in there now?

I like your idea of building a kart for car shows. The most creative kart I saw (at the local track) was built using the body of a wheelbarrow, and it formed a tub like an early Model T hot rod. Awesome! If you head in that direction, please start a new thread on it.

So i looked down inside the muffler just a minute ago and its literally just a can welded to the pipe and has a removable baffle (which is beat all to hell but very open and clog free). So im now baffled (haha see what i did there? Lol) as to why its not running right. Im going to order a new cdi and coil tonight and see if that makes a difference when they arrive.
I honestly have no idea what the sizes of the jets are, though i could probably measure them with my calipers. As for the cart, im on an extremely tight budget because business is really slow right now thats why i was looking at an electric start conversion. I have a line on a cart frame for $50 and i can make the mounts , shifter, etc myself. Was actually looking at the parts on the bike and i can use the foot brake arm and pedal for the shifter and it already has spots for linkage to mount to... lol. Another reason i want use this motor is for the 4speed. Most of the elec. Start motors ive looked at were 3spd with reverse which would be nice but i can live without reverse lol. |

I genuinely laughed out loud when I read that.

Have you actually removed the jets and cleaned them? Have you blasted the jet passages with carb cleaner? That might be the fix.

Keep an eye on the free section of CL; you never know what you might find for kart materials. You might even find the perfect rusted wheelbarrow for a body. A dead lawn tractor would also be a good donor.

The plastics are removed in the pic, so it's easy to see how it's mounted.
