honda gx620 or briggs?

jadawg27 · 11-18-2012, 10:26 PM

I have a line on a honda 20hp motor ive been looking for a briggs but no luck anywhere near me. I had a briggs 16 vanguard with the rev kit in my last cart and that was enough for me would the honda be about the same as far as speed? Any clue how high the briggs would rev with the rev kit? My last cart had 25" tires and did about 35mph

I have a Honda GX620 in my cart. I like it alot! I can run about 5500 rpms and come in just short of 40 mph.
Mine has the rev kit, timing advance key, and the super trap muffler. With the muffler opened up, I've got 57-5800 rpm and run about 42 mph.

Where did you find a rev kit? I can't seem to find one. Thanks Jason

Jason,
Give Parsons a call. I believe it's just 2 GX390 jugs but I dont remember for sure......

Thanks I just called them they have a kit with push rods guid plates rockers and springs for $230. It's a little more than I have to spend right now after i buy the motor so I may have to wait. Do you know if that's what you got? Do I really need all of that?

I bought mine with the kit installed and that was in 08....
I think mine only has rods and springs.

I would say you'd be fine with just the rods and springs to 5500 rpm. If you want to go to 6-6500 you would want to look at rockers and keepers.
