    little tip - if you don't already know, the choke lever on Hondas have a round tip that fits perfectly in the fuel line to plug it. comes in handy

    Completely agree with you on using impact on everything. When I'm working on car, if I could get to it with my impact guns or air ratchet, that's why I'm using. My small engines also of course.

    The throttle plate is part of the fan shroud and helps cool the motor. If anything just remove the arm and put the tin back on to help the engine from over heating.

    People don't realize that impacts are very controllable and for me when I use them, I have never stripped any bolts whatsoever. But impacts are still very helpful because sometimes you need to break stubborn bolts.

    You have your doubts about that carburetor, mine was just as bad on a GX160, the complete engine was horrible, trashed. sitting outside for 5 years on a compactor. I rebuilt it with a rusted and wavy cylinder seized piston rings and everything just cleaned it all up slapped it back together and she ran pretty good other than a little bit of smoking. The Hondas don't know when to quit

  • @rdetme4ever552
    @rdetme4ever552 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I wouldn’t recommend removing the throttle control plate. it’s also a cooling tin for air flow around the head. I’d just remove the mechanism that’s bolted on.

  • @sandman70131
    @sandman70131 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    you should really leave that piece of tin for the throttle on the side of the engine it really helps cool the cylinder a lot more than you think

    • @user-neo71665
      @user-neo71665 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      On a stationary, low speed, or under a hood of a piece of equipment yes the cooling shrouds are duct work to help direct the air to help cool. On a go cart or mini bike moving at faster speeds as long as the engine is out in the open the shroud isn't needed. And yes I actually tested it with a temp gun on my son's mini bike because we wanted the polished engine to be as out in the open all shiny as we could get it. That little piece made zero difference.

    • @sandman70131
      @sandman70131 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I raced gopeds for years and that plate was a nessesity even doing 45mph on a scooter with a chainsaw engine. Lawn equipment engines are not meant for high RPM for any period of time because the oiling and cooling systems were only designed to work well between 2-3k rpm we even used to toss the factory ones
      I and even make upgraded aluminum ones. We also ran engines that normally rev'd to 14.5k at 21k rpm and could usually get 1-2 race seasons out of an engine. Just saying, cooling is very important on these types of engines and should not be skimped on for visual aspect.

    Which do you think would be better to use on a off road go kart a slightly modded Honda clone 6.5hp or a stock genuine Honda gx340 which only has the governor taken if it which do you suggest would be the best engine to use

    • @RedBeardsGarage
      @RedBeardsGarage  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      the gx340 for sure but I would defiantly do the hd valve spring on that engine. It will warp a push rod or a valve quick if you float the valves

    Hey, awesome vid. I know I'm late to the party here... but oh well, question time:
    What RPM can I safely run a stock 270 to? I have a 270 from a pressure washer that I believe the throttle maxes it out at (in or around) 3,400 RPM. I imagine it will rev a little higher though, I just don't know how far I can push it...

    • @astemeer
      @astemeer 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Late reply, but someone else reads this. 4700 rpm is absolutely safe for like karting, etc. 4.900 is not bad. If you remove the inside governor, recommended limit is 5.300
      You’re welcome.

    • @astemeer
      @astemeer 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      But it’s not good to speed up the engine to those speeds without any load. I had once my ignition coil touch the flywheel at high speed without a load, and the coil, its’ leg and flywheel destroyed.

    i have a gokart with a soda gx 270. I just did buy a 390 gx carburetor, is there something in particular that i have to do to make it work good?
    thanks!

    • @RedBeardsGarage
      @RedBeardsGarage  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You will need the carb insulator that goes behind the 390 carb as well. You can buy them with a full gasket set for cheap. As long as your running the open air filter and exhaust then the factory 390 jets should be ok. Just run it and pull the plug to see if it is running lean or rich and adjust accordingly

  • @613Builds
    @613Builds 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    so which carb worked best with the gx270 clone? I want to do performance upgrades on my gx270 clone, should I get the gx390 carb? or maybe a gx340 carb? I can likely make my own exhaust. I'm kinda on a budget, I could also re-jet my factory carb if that's beneficial at all...? thanks

    • @RedBeardsGarage
      @RedBeardsGarage  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +MrJohn613 the rejetting is worth it but the gx390 carb has a lot better flow

    • @613Builds
      @613Builds 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Red Beard's Garage I bought and installed a gx340 carb like you did in this video. Do you have footage of it running? When I installed the 340 carb it idled fine but seemed to fall on its face at open throttle. Sounds like too lean? Perhaps I can swap main jet to rectify that? I also changed the sparkplug since returning to the original carb, and the new plug makes a big difference I think. The 270 works good I'm just hoping for a little more mild performance. Any recommendations? Thanks

  • @jpwipeout99
    @jpwipeout99 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Little confused on the carb upgrade. I get that the opening is bigger for obvious reasons but if the head opening is the same 20mm. Wouldn't it still be restricted? Also do u have to remove the oil senser to also remove the governor?

    • @RedBeardsGarage
      @RedBeardsGarage  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The head opening is still bigger than the stock carb on this engine. you don't have to remove the oil sensor but I would because if you take curves fast it still can cut your engine out

    • @jpwipeout99
      @jpwipeout99 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ok got yea on the oil filter thank you for actually replying. I forgot to ask what did you put in place of the governor arm that's in the block? A bolt? Again thank you for the replys!

    If you used all hand tools some group would whine about how you need to buy some power tools. You use power tools a group is gonna whine about you need to use hand tools. Next is gonna be the pneumatic vs electric groups. John Lydgate said it best "You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time"
    You want to sit at your house and use all hand tools then so be it. You want to use all power tools thats fine also. There are times I'm just BSing around I'll take it slow and hand wrench everything. I also own pneumatic, cordless, and corded tools and will pick whatever is closest to me when I'm in a hurry or just want to get done. The vids are great and unless you decide to turn fasteners with your tongue use whatever method makes you happy.

      most hondas come with the oil sensor so if you run low on oil your motor will not run to keep you from burning it up or locking it up. great addition in my opinion.

    Hi. i just installed the bigger carb gx390 on my gx270 and added the gaskets and the spacer as you suggested. But now when i turn on the fuel, it drips/gushes out between the thick black plastic spacer and the carb itself. it looks like its coming out from the drain part. Any idea what i may have set up incorrectly? Thanks.

    • @RedBeardsGarage
      @RedBeardsGarage  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +BighomieJ5x - I think it has to do with the old governor set up. I'm looking into that to see if I can remove it. It seems like I can without effecting anything.

    • @bighomieJ5X
