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

loose weight is the best way to gain speed :)

Instead of trying to get every last pony out of a 6.5HP engine, if you REALLY want to go fast, step up to a 14HP or so, I'm not sure what the next biggest engine size is from the one you have, but if you want the go-fast, change up the engine. Make sure the brakes are up to the job. If you want to go STUPID-fast, look at the rotax carts....they're good for the ton, haven't tried one, but that's what they say...
