Yeah you can spend $2,500 on heads, cam, exhaust, carb, intake, and prop for an increase in hp or you can just sell it and buy a big block surface drive. |

I was just seeing if there were any modifications like cutting 2 1/2" holes in the stock exhaust and welding some pipe to each for a increase in exhaust flow Just little things like that |

check out some of the go cart sites, google "affordable golf karts parts" i think, and they give instructions on how to remove the governor, and then mod the air filter and exhaust. be sure to install a tacometer if you remove the governor so you dont blow it up though |

cut the shaft 32 inches, buy some timing gear pulleys, with 1.35:1 gear ratio. Have a housing built for gears, then bolt shaft to housing, Get a surface prop and VOILA!!! surface drive. Its all better then. If it was only that easy right. |

a new prop and just keep up on the maintenance and you should be fine. dont worry about the speed with such a small hp motor.. |

I've got a real small 3 blade prop right Now that I'm not go thrilled with. Think it would be a litle faster and go through more with a little bigger 2 blade? |

Lets u know if your motor is running in the right rpm range. Can give you hints that your compression may be low, or time for a new prop... Also good for keeping track of your hours so you know when to do your scheduled maintenence. |
