Briggs OHV & Vanguard / mikuni dirtbike carb /governor
« on: September 21, 2017, 09:33:32 pm »
I have a mikuni dirt bike carb I never put on my bike .I seen people put them on mowers and it work out nice, but my question is does the governor still work? If I put the mikuni on with it's own throttle cable will the gov still work ? Do I need a throttle cable to hold the gov arm in the position I want or can it just be uncooked and still work how it's supposed?  Sorry bout the long dumb ? .I just don't wanna be completely un goved

How do the stock mower tires(bias ply) handle at high speed do they roll or twist on turns like bias slicks? Does anyone use slicks and would the Carlisle smooth bias tires work for slicks?

« on: September 03, 2017, 05:23:25 am »
I finally got a Lmt walbro carb. I plan on replacing my Nikki with it. Its missing a bowl and choke rod (I'm assuming that the name). So I'm gonna order the bowl n get an adj.needle & velocity stack from E.c._ while waiting I was wondering about venting the carb ,seen videos on it but no one really says the point of it._what's the benefit of doin this?any cons? And the same questions about removing the choke. Thanks for any input

I rewired the ignition to a push button and kill switch . I dont understand how the stator charges the battery. Do i just run a wire from the hot wire on stator to the positive terminal or is there more? Also the solenoid isnt working .i push start button and hear the solenoid engage on the inside but nothing happens .i can bridge it with skrew driver and it starts.is solenoid bad?

Im doin the race mower wiring setup .push button and a kill switch i got the diagram off here. But it doesnt account for one wire wich is a orange wire that goes to the clutch safety switch then to the ignition switch.what do i do with this orange wire sense its part of the solenoid?

11
Im having alot of diff probs with solenoid then the carb solenoid and wiring in general .i want to get rid off all the unnecessary wiring ,maybe just go with toggle or push to start.can someone show me a diagram with detail or break it down for me .visual learning is best
