Ok, all wired up.
It does about 15 to 17, is this normal speed for one of these?

Nice work on the Chaparral rebuild. I personally love the original orange color on these machines, but to each their own. The issue with lack of speed is due to your drive clutch, driven clutch spring, and belt. It should be running about 20-25 MPH. First, you'll need a different drive clutch because the one you have on there seems to be for a mini bike or go cart application and it has a smaller diameter than an AATV clutch. Good used ones can be found for $125-$175. Next, you will need a 1-3/16" or 1-1/4" wide belt. Lastly the driven clutch on the T-20 will need a spring in it for a 4 stroke application, red or green. A red would be a good choice for your application with a lower horsepower engine.

Ordered Correct clutch and 6 new tires and rims.
I'm going to be using it for hunting, that's why its camo.

New Tires, new drive clutch, new belt.
Does 30 mph plus, way too fast. Lots of low end.
