Power Sport OHV engine. How much more over carbing can a stock rod take? I belive these Power Sport engines are made for modding!;) Jeff_yamaha_5 09-24-2008, 11:49 PM what does fireslotting mean justin3 09-25-2008, 10:58 PM I am trying the same on a 6 hp Tech.

But dont go crazy with changes like this as it will decrease your take off power and could fry the clutch. So if your running a 10" sprocket on the wheel try a 9" or 8" I think 1" decrease in sprocket size gives you 5 - 10 mph speed increase. aaronious1 10-05-2008, 01:50 PM Phillip is right, I have a 3.5hp cart that has no problem keeping up with 6.5's because of a smaller drive gear. vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2012, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
