Briggs motors

[MotoX3]

hey.....i have a briggs motor on my go cart(5.5 hp:eek2: )....and i was wondering if they sold any like aftermarket pipes or anything for these....because i chopped the back of the pipe off and now it sounds like a drag car:chinese: .....so does anyone know of any aftermarket crap or any things i can do to it to gain some hp....bc now it basically sucks:macho

[chucked]

haha, thats great, i had a go kart a few years back... One of the best things I did was getting a torque converter. But you cant really get any more power out of them, also you can put a zip or twist tie through the governor spring

or remove the governer, just pay attention to the rpms! I used a water pipe in place of muffler! :p

I dont think you can remove them, all the governor is, is a spring link in the linkage, so if you remove that you wont be goin anywhere, unless thats wut u were tryin to get him to do.:devil:

No, it can be removed. the spring attaches from the throttle linkage to a plastic fan blade that picks up air from the fly wheel. The spring is a certain tension that when the plastic blade is moved by the flywheel, it will cut out the throttle at 3600 rpm. Remove the spring, no governor! But you can over-rev the engine then... ;) I had flames shooting out the water pipe on mine! :devil:

Course this was many years ago... :( Or as Commandant Lassard would say from Police Academy... many... many... many... :o

wow, that was many many many years ago, i think i remember seeing an engine like that a few years back, now the gonvernor is ran internally off of the crank shaft like a centrifugal clutch. but now that i think about it, if you clip the linkage from that assembly to the linkage to the carb, you may be able to gain some ***. I cant remember.....

lol ill have to try that govenor thing....anyways...i just got done riding it....i rolled her down a hill:eek2: ...now it has a custom bent pipe and the back of the frames dented:devil:

[chucked]

that pipe wont work, I believe the 5.5 hp briggs has a 3/4 inch exhaust outlet, that ones like 1 5/16"

[Disaster]
