Instaling a H.P. Carb
Tools you will need:
Small Flathead Screwdriver Phillips Head Screwdriver
4mm Allen wrench (some applications) Needlenose Pliers
10mm Wrench
 
  Ready for Installation:
 
Step 1:  Remove the air filter lid, take out the two filter elements and the flame arrestor (silver plate). Remove the 2 phillips head screws inside the air box.  Remove the air box, and carb from the intake manifold.
Step 2:  Now that the carb is loose, remove the throttle cable from the carb.  And use a pair of needle nose pliers to pull off the fuel lines.
 
Step 3:  Remove the 2 phillips head screws from the stock intake manifold and remove the manifold.  The gasket between the intake manifold and cylinder is re-useable unless it is torn, it usually sticks to the cylinder when the intake manifold is removed.
Step 4:  Before you go any further, Assemble the carb, velocity stack and manifold.  Check to see that the screws don't come through the backside of the manifold.  This problem is very common with the brown zenoah manifold and will cause kill switch to have problems, and a severe intake leak making tuning the carb impossible.
 
Step 5:  If you are installing the brown Zenoah manifold you will need to trim the cylinder shroud to clear the upper right hand corner of the intake manifold, or the manifold will not seal properly causing an intake leak.
Step 6:  If you are installing the PSWS "Hi-Tech" manifold or the ECC manifold, install them with the pulse hole down and the slot to the right hand side
 
Step 7:  Now remove the throttle cable end from the stock carb by removing the "C" clip, and install it on the throttle arm of the H.P. Carb.
Step 8:  Next install the throttle cable and nut onto the H.P. Carb Linkage.
Step 9:   Now slip the return spring over the end of the throttle cable and fit the end of the throttle cable into the cable end.  You will need to hold the carb throttle arm open to get the cable in.  Pictured above is the proper return spring installation
Step 10:  Install the yellow fuel line onto the barbed fitting nearest the primer bulb and the blue line on the other barbed fitting.
 
Step 11:   Next slip the carb mount screws through the velocity stack and install the velocity stack on the carb.   With the screws all of the way through the carb slip on the H.P. carb gasket
Step 12:  Install the carb onto the manifold with the primer bulb towards the gas tank. (up on Zenoah manifold)
Step 13:  With the brown zenoah manifold the throttle cable must come up from under the deck and make a "u-turn" This can cause poor throttle return if the throttle cable is not in excellent condition.
Step 14:  I recommend that you spray the moving parts on the carb with WD-40 for better operation
 
Step 15:  If you are using a Billet intake manifold , disconnect the kill switch at the bullet connector below the carb, or you will have No Spark.
Step 16:  Now install the air filter and you are ready to ride.
 
 
Advancing your timing
Tools you will need:
Phillips Head Screwdriver Side Cutters
3mm Allen Wrench 8mm Allen Wrench
12mm Allen Wrench Flywheel Puller
Oil Filter Wrench or Channel Locks Red Locktite
Business Card
 
 
Step 1:  Remove the 5 phillips head screws  attaching the fan cover and remove the fan cover with pullstart still attached
Step 2:  Remove the spark plug wire from the plug. Disconnect the kill switch wire from the throttle cable below the carburetor.
 
Step 3:  Remove the Black phillips screw       holding the engine shroud on, it is above the   fender, between the gas tank and motor,       and remove the shroud.
Step 4:  Remove the spark plug, and the
two 3mm Allen screws holding the ignition
coil to the cylinder
 
Step 5:  Remove the Air Filter Lid, both filter elements, the silver flame arrestor, and the two phillips head screws which attach the carb to the manifold.  DO NOT LOSE THE GASKET between the carb and manifold.  Swing the carb out of the way with the fuel lines and throttle cable still attached.
Step 6:  With the piston at top dead center
mark the flywheel and the cases with a
sharpie marker so that the marks allign
at Top Dead Center.  Double check to
make sure they allign at Top Dead Center
 
Step 7:  Now put a second mark 8mm to
the right (clockwise) of the first mark.  Measuring 8mm can be done with an 8mm wrench
if calipers are not available.  More space is NOT better!  Adding more than 8mm will increase heat, and can cause internal damage.
Step 8:  Now remove the 12mm nut in the
center of the flywheel.  DO NOT USE a Screwdriver to hold the flywheel.  An oil filter
wrench will not damage the flywheel and is
cheap at any auto parts store.  You may also use large channel locks
 
Step 9:  Using a flywheel puller; remove
the flywheel.  If you do not have a puller DO
NOT try to remove the flywheel!  You will
damage the flywheel, crank, cases, etc...
Step 10:  With the flywheel removed, use
side cutters to remove the key from the
crank.
 
Step 11:  Now with the flywheel off, bring
the piston to Top Dead Center. Re-Install
the flywheel so that the mark on the flywheel
is lined up with the second mark you made
on the cases. (The one on the right).  Hand
tighten the flywheel and check to make sure
the 2nd mark is lined up with the flywheel
while the piston is at top dead center.
Now tighten the flywheel to 20ft/lbs and
recheck your marks a final time.
Step 12:  Using a business card between the
coil and flywheel magnets to set the clearance, re-install the coil.  Rotate the flywheel a full turn to make sure there is no contact.
 
Step 13:  Before re-installing the spark plug,
we recommend cutting the seal off with
side cutters.  This will raise the compression
and increase torque! To ensure a good seal
we use Red lock-tite where the washer was removed, NOT ON THE THREADS!
Step 14:  Re-Install the shroud, routing
the kill switch wire so that it does not
contact the hot cylinder.
 
Step 15:  Re-Install the fan cover, kill switch
wire & the plug wire.  You are now ready to ride.
Installing a Drive Spindle
Step 1. Remove the back tire
Step 2. Remove the 3 nuts holding the gas tank on
Step 3. No need to remove the gas lines, just clear the tank of the studs and swing it back out of the way onto the deck
Step 4. Now that the tank is off and you can see the drive spindle, in the end of it you can see the allen bolt.   Keep the spindle from spinning by place a pair of vise grips at the very top of the spindle and  remove the allen bolt.
Step 5. The spindle is a wedge-mated fit on the crank and is on very tight.  DO NOT HIT IT WITH A HAMMER.  Stick a Phillps Head screwdriver in the end where the Allen bolt came out and rotate screwdriver in a circular motion( like mixing in a mixing bowl) while applying pressure.  This should loosen the spindle until it falls off.
Now Install the New Spindle, Hold it with vise grips while tightening the allen bolt. And your redy to ride.
Adjusting your back tire
This is a very important thing to do because if you do not when you go of a curb or eny jump you will break your drive shaft.
Step 1:  Open the quick release axle to unlock and allow free movement of the wheel. (wing nut may also need to be loosened)
Step 2:  With the Quick Release Axle opened and loosened, rotate the purple engine protection washer (EPW) down, away from the rear gas tank support stud.
Step 3:  Apply 75lbs of weight on to the rear part of the deck by kneeling on the "D" with one knee with the rear wheel on the ground.  This applies proper wheel/spindle contact.
Step 4:  Rotate the purple engine protection washer (EPW) up to contact the rear gas tank stud while weight is still applied, this will prevent overload to engine bearing and crankshaft.
Step 5:  Lock down the Quick Release lever with snug pressure.  This will lock the axle in position until readjustment is required. Know your redy to ride.
