i have a honda 6.5 hp gx 200 engine i have
-bypassed the muffler partially to give it a little better airflow and it still has enough back preassure,
-increased the spring tension on the throttle as much as i can

i know i can change the gear ratios, but i would like to increase the top spead and i guess the max rpms ( right now it is 3900 by default) i don't want to take the governor off, but i have been told by a guy that knows what he is talking about that most govorners are ajustable so im not positive whether or not thats right but i just wanted to thow taht into the open.
it doesn't go fast enough 4 me and i want to know how to tweak the engine because i know there is way more power left in the engine than what it is giving me... and not spend any money on new parts... need very detailed answers... (not very experienced with the engine)

-thanks a ton guys

I know the bmw is more sporty to drive and holds it's resale, and is easy to maintain and all that practical stuff guys care about, but i want to know which one has more prestige. Here's the thing, i live in southern california, where everyone and their mother has a bmw. I think they look great, but i was thinking maybe just because there are so many of them on the road and they are just so trendy, it might be good to get something different. also, bmw is going to change their body style yet again, and the audi doesn't change too much, so you can't tell how old they are as much. I'll be buying used, like a 2002. Do you think it's good to go with the safe choice (bmw) or the more something that stands out, less trendy? guys, what would catch your eye more? it's between the audi A4 and the BMW 325i. THANKS!

Build a 20,000+ sqft floating platform to put a small pre-fab home on and then boat/float a few miles (international waters) off the coast of California.
This would be perhaps a floating disc with a radius of 80ft or a floating rectangle 108X185ft...
Do not concern yourself with how I would get fresh water or food...
Thank You!

I am thinking about getting automobile GPS system. This is for a professional person to visit a patient home (more than 3 homes a day). Voice guidance would be nice. I am not looking for the top of the line one. I am looking for a reasonable one to get a direction from one point to another.
Your recommendation by experience would be helpful and appreciated.

My wife was involved in a multi-vehicle accident started by another driver in which four cars were totaled and some people were injured. It appears that everyone is covered by insurance. If insurance is covering the situation, why would one of the drivers retain an attorney to sue the other drivers?

I've insurance policy under my father since I was single. Now I'm married and I included my husband on the policy. We moved out of my parents house. My husband and I just bought a new car and the car is under my husband's name but still have the insurance under my father. The insurance co. sent a form asking for the car registration and address information. Can they terminate my policy if the address is different than my father's?

Wearing a seatbelt only saves/kills your own life, not others. It is the same as drinking.

My headlight on my T reg clio has blown 4 times in a fortnight. The glass bulb completely shatters. Is it possible to get power surges to just one side of the car? I do drive on back roads a lot and flick from dipped to main beam a fair bit, could that be part of the problem. Just want to get clued up before going to see an auto electrician.

I got puzzled when the gap on the bosch plugs is a lot smaller than what the guy in the shop told me it should be. He said 0.077in.

VW emblems on a production line at a Volkswagen plant. Volkswagen, Europe's leading automaker, signed a deal to build a 410-million-euro (539 million US) plant in western India at a site state officials said will become "the Detroit" of India.

How will this affect the lives of the people working there?
Is this not a feather in the cap for India?
Will this affect the quality of the cars?
Will they be cheaper due to lower costs?

My friends and I were arguing whether or not you have to pull over for emergency vechilces even if im on the other side of the street and there's a divider seperating the two sides. I dont feel like I should have to pull over if im on the oppoosite side of the street, but my friends insist that I do. Let me know if im wrong for this so I wont get a ticket.
