 Re: Need more RPMs
I heard you can easily get those things up to 6000 or so. Go find a go cart racing forum and you should find what you are looking for.

 Re: Need more RPMs
you can disconnect it but you run the risk of over revving the motor. You may be able to put a coil from a new Honda on it I think most of the newer GX engines have an internal 4700rpm limiter built into the coil (are the predators clone motors?). Or you can adjust the tension on the governor spring to get the right rpm.
