I bought a new Briggs & Stratton motor 10 for my go-kart but I don't know how to set up the throttle cable there's no way to hook it up any suggestions
I would need a picture to really give you any ideas, but you need a bracket that you can attach the cable sheath to. then you can hook the end up of your cable to the bracket on the carburetors throttle that the governor is also on. If you go directly on the carb the governor will not work. Normally the cable is attached to a bracket connected to the throttle via a spring so that the governor can still shut the throttle when max rpms are achieved under no load
@@mrawesome14b thanks what i did was hook the loop of cable directly to throttle arm so far it seems ok...ive been working on this thing for off and on for years getting a little annoying
@@jmc4712 I can understand haha. If its a flathead no worries float the valves to death they can take alot but if it is an ohv engine try not to float the valves to much. Don't get me wrong its still hard on the valves and seats but there is no chance of piston contact in a flathead.
@@jmc4712 this information is subjective and depends on the engine, but on typical lawnmower and small engine application they usually run 3600 rpm and are designed to do so. When you rev the engine higher than that you will reach an rpm probably 4000 or 4500 rpm where the springs cannot stay in contact with the camshaft. there isn't enough spring pressure to pull it shut with the camshaft lobe so they float bouncing on the camshaft lobe preventing the valve from shutting. Since the valve isn't sealing properly it stops the engine from revving any higher than what the spring pressure will allow. In an ohv engine this can cause the valve face to hit the piston.
This comment is from a long time ago lol but this is a 18hp v-twin. You could have a 5hp v twin if it had a small enough displacement or low efficiency. Its all about how well you can move air through the engine.
Due to a lack of funds and just the way I built it I cannot finish It. If the frame was bigger and If I had a better drivetrain setup I would have finished it. I just cant finish this one. If your building your own I'd recommend a horizontal shaft engine or even better a motorcycle engine.

@@mrawesome14b what do u mean float the valves?

cool video. what kind of camera did you buy?
why is a twin cylinder only 5hp

did you ever get a chance to ride it?
Have you finished it yet ? would love to see it finished and driving.

the crapiest sanyo they had at walmart lol cost me 70 bucks but 14 megapixels is alot better than a phone at least
You know what kind of go kart is that I have the exact one the design is identical
i have the exact same kart to every detail
