The Bearded Outdoorsman pretty sure it allows the valves to open more for more flow which means more Rpms

It lets the valves open longer and at different times in the timing

i used to race in clone and flathead classes in gokart racing, 07 tempest for long and less bank tracks and 04 phenom for short high bank, with frame stiffener removed, i would turn my clone at 6300 with a 200 rpm drop for 20 laps and had great luck, verylittle mod, air filter and jets and header, it was fun before they let the builders get in it, now it is ruined for what was intended, budget racing, a person could by a clone from arc for 400.00 and go racing, now they cant be touched for less than 1200.00-1400.00 if you want to stay in the race,

Know this was 4 years ago, but I just had to add, I raced 2 cycle dirt in the late 70's into the 80's. Back then you could do just about anything to an engine you needed to make it scream before the foreign engines came on. It was a money game then, and that didn't take very many years to dwindle the tracks out of business. NOW, I'm 'cobbling' up these 4 'bangers' for the grandkids gocarts as much as I can HIDE from the wife! THANKS Red Beard!

Nice build! Only thing I would advise is to use an actual micrometer when checking bearing clearance. Plastigage is a good alternative to buying precision measurement tools, but micrometers are fairly cheap these days and if you can get a mic on it you'll get the most accurate measurement (often down to .0001 on a quality unit). On that note; Also remember to measure all your parts at room temperature without handling them too much. Hot parts and/or mics will produce inaccurate measurements. Some of this may be overkill on an engine like this, but good building habits will help you in the long run. How much (ballpark) do you have invested in this engine? Can't wait to see it rip!

I followed your video and installed the Stage 2 with Mikuni (Japan) carb. Installation went well thanks to your video! I'm using the 140 jet and pilot jet (don't recall the number on this one) that GoPowerSports added to the kit, but it runs rich to the point that the spark plug gets wet and shuts off the engine. I tried adjusting the air screw and idle screws, but same issue. You think i should go to a smaller pilot jet (stock was a 30).

Not sure if you've figured it out in the 3 years since this video or not, but on those type c-clips with the notches in them, just stick a little flathead in the there and twist. A lot more controllable, instead of flinging them across the room while simultaneously jabbing yourself in the thumb with the pick.

I have a 5hp briggs and what to do an arc flywheel but I'm hesitant because of having never done it before and seeing that you have to get the timing right. I see you just installed your flywheel on with the piston at tdc. Is that all you need to do or is it more complicated than that?
