Just wondering where I should "start off" from. The place I bought it from doesn't adjust it before shipping it out :(

Your carburetor has a High Speed adjustment screw on it??
I have not seen this on any of the newer engines that are emission compliant that are adjustable.

Eh, actually, you can bypass that by buying another carburetor... the one I bought was a GX160, and it had a bigger bore than the GX200 (:confused:)... If you look really closely, you can see the screws on the Clone. Took it for a spin around the neighborhood today.

Engine sounds good, looks like it was getting along pretty good.
What kind of drive setup are you using?

Chain drive currently, #41 chain (wirecutted and grinded to perfect length :)), 10 teeth on clutch, and 54 teeth on sprocket. At 8,000RPM, I should be doing around 51MPH.
With my soon-to-be-setup (#35 chain), 60 tooth sprocket, and 17 tooth clutch, at 8,000 I'll be doing around 81.
12" Slicks on all 4 wheels.

Be careful! Are your tires designed for those speeds??

No idea. Only 3 of them say "not for highway use" :p
I doubt the bearings were designed for that high either. Either way, I properly (if not slightly overfilled) aired the tires, and lubed the bearings with 80W-90 and high temperature SuperTech grease. They should hold up slightly longer.
