I discovered 5hp is A LOT of horsepower for something this small, it drifts, it wheelies, its very hard to control and does about 30mph at 1200rpm... This was a kids Radio Flyer pedal car that my sister had given to me and i just had a 5hp Tecumseh sitting around, a couple hours later and i was driving it around. It runs a v-belt with a manual hand actuated tensioner with a thumb throttle. It's scary but it's fun!
um those engines run a max of 3600rpm stock

right, i have not had it to full speed nor do i want to, i wanna change the gearing so im @ 3600 rpm at 35mph or so instead. it will make it much more drivable.
