i gotta say, if you have to ask and don't know yourself, there probably isn't mutch you can do that isn't gonna cost you a little more than a little bit of money.realy all depends on how mutch money your wanting to spend, though.

If it is chain drive and you dont mind sacrificing a little accelleration change the gear ratio. I did on my 5 horse and it flys now.

TAKE LINKS OUT OF UR CHAIN AND MAKE IT NOT SLICK AND IT SHOUD INCREASE UR SPEED AND BY SOME NITROX FUEL INJECTION FOR A 4X4 THAT WILL GIVE A MEAN NOISE AND EXTRA speed

Nitrous on a stock 5hp engine will make it throw a rod in about 5 seconds. If your looking for cheap horsepower, bore out your carb, shave the eyebrow, put a header for a racing go kart on it, and possibly change the cam. I would recomend a 94-ss cam from Dyno Cams if your engine is stock.

You can also remove the govener while your at it, but I would recomend a ARC billet rod. If you remove the govener and run the engine with the stock rod, you are running a risk of throwing the rod.

all yall dum sunga bonches need to get a job by a chevy

-- me homes (huntinbuddy243@msn.com), June 26, 2004.

there is a bent metal pease on your throttle were it will stop at a serten spot it you bend it in your carborator will open wider. and you will get more torqu and speed.

-- robbie bonner (huntinbuddy243@msn.com), June 26, 2004.

look, a 5 horse power doesnt have much potential. instead of spending a crapload on aftermarket, just buy a bigger engine. in the end you will probly save more.

ok peolples i have a gokart my self its a racing one 6.5 hp its an old tecumseh shes a beuat now to make your gokart go faster 1.take off the govenor 2.take off the airfilter 3. get nos 4.give it good gas like premuium not regular 5.get a cheeta gear (the sprocket is smaller) 6.get bigger back tires.

-- justin thorne (jjayt94@aol.com), July 02, 2004.

you can put a 4hp head on it to increase compression. or if your skilled enough weld up the cam lobes and build a straight header.

just put nitro

-- andy (coco@msn.com), October 22, 2004.

Now I've came to the conclusion that you all ARE FUCKING IDIOTS!!! God damn idiotic kids! What you need to do is larger diamete valves, bigger camshaft, a stroker crankshaft, high compression piston, and re-jet the carb to run alcohol. Then put a strait pipe for your exhaust and buy a performance air filter. Then get some different sprockets. All in all your still gonna go slow as FUCK!@ Just get a 125cc 2-stroke dirt bikes motor and put on that bitch! DUMBASS MOTHER FUCKER!

later

You cant put nos on a fucking 5HP stock engine. Youll fuck your engine in a matter of seconds. A bigger back tire will actually make you go slower. See its all in math. A smaller tire will have more rotations then a bigger one.
