Questions

1–9 of 9 Questions  
Sort by:

  1. where would the mechanical throttle option be at on the engine?

    1 answer

    1. The mechanical throttle hook-up is located behind the panel where the throttle knob is located. We recommend taking this to a small engine shop to have it set up.

      Helpful?

  2. Does the motor have a mechanical throttle linkage hook up for throttle to be fitted to a go cart. Or is only throttle adjustment made by dial on the cowl?

    1 answer

    1. The engine does come with an option for a throttle cable.

      Helpful?

  3. How long should the 9v batteries last? I know quality of battery makes a big difference but on average is it after a few tanks of fuel?

    1 answer

    1. The 9V batteries should last more than one year. Note that the batteries are only required for the initial startup, as they assist with priming the fuel system when it is dry. Once the system is primed, the engine will start without the batteries. If the engine sits unused for an extended period, the fuel system may need to be primed again, which could require multiple pulls of the starter rope or replacing the batteries if they are depleted.

      Helpful?

  4. What the bolt mount hole size from left to right in front and front to back ?

    1 answer

    1. The engine mounting base bolt pattern is 7.7" on center x 3.72" on center.

      Helpful?

  5. What is difference between E420 NorthStar and e300 engine besides cc difference. Is it not a stronger engine?

    1 answer

    1. The e300 engine has a TCI (transistorized coil ignition) system with no governor system. It has a fuel tank capacity of 5.8 quarts and an oil capacity of 1.05 quarts. The net torque is 18 ft.-lbs. It also has a 1/4" shaft keyway.

      The e420 engines have a CDI (capacitor discharge ignition) system with a governor system. It has a fuel capacity of 6.55 quarts and an oil capacity of 1.16 quarts. The net torque is 25 ft.-lbs. It also has a 2-13/16" shaft keyway.

      Helpful?

  6. Is there a cold start high idle condition on first startup? What is the RPM used for this warm-up strategy?

    1 answer

    1. There is no cold start high idle condition. This is an EFI engine which will adjust to the running conditions such as cold temperatures, elevation, etc.

      Helpful?

  7. What is the idle RPM? How do you adjust the idle for clutch interfaces?

    1 answer

    1. The idle RPM is 2200 RPM +/- 200RPM. There is no further idle speed adjustment.

      Helpful?

  8. What are the 3 connectors on the back used for? Can I upgrade to remote kill switch and throttle with these connections?

    1 answer

    1. Regarding the three connectors on the engine (located near the side of the fuel tank).

      1. CAN Communication port: This is used for CAN communication protocols. This is where the OBDII meter connects to the engine.

      2. Remote Kill Switch: If the two wires in the connector are connected, the engine will immediately shut down.

      3. Idle Switch: If the two wires in the connector are connected, the engine will adjust to low speed idle (~2200 RPM).  When the wires are disconnected, full speed operation resumes.

      There are no aftermarket kits available to connect to the two remote kill and idle connections.

      Helpful?

  9. How many amps does its charging system produce? You need 20 amps on a pressure washer. 

    1 answer

    1. This engine is equipped with a 15 amp fuse; however, the charging system provides 5 amps.
