Default honda gx 340

ok well i have a gx 340 in our g2. it has alot of top end and it spin the tires and has endless tourque. i would like to have a alittle more both ways though and i was thinking. what it i put low speed gears in the cart to give it more tourque, and then got a larger front clutch with larger radius sheaves to give it more top speed, so it even out the low end on flat ground, but would give it low end when going slow. just a thought, i could do it, but would it work?

thanks

I put an "almost" Honda GX390 13hp in my cart. It was dead off the line (wouldn't even spin the tires, or scuff for that matter) and you had to rev the hell out of it to get any sensation of acceleration.

Just send your clutches to Cart Parts Plus for machine work and you'll have grunt down low and speed up high.

Yes, it was a "clone." However, now that it's out of the cart. It runs as well as any other Honda. Probably something to do with the gravity feed.
