[Jacksondpope]

I have a go car with a predator 212 6.5hp engine and I would like to know if I can put a electric starter on it. Thank you

But you'd probably have to find a flywheel with a ring gear, right?

 

[Jr. Mechanic]

Oh yeah... I dont think stock predators come with a starter-compatible flywheel

 

[Poboy kartman]

That's right...so the answer is no.

So far nobody has. The clones and Predators have different tapers.

If you have a Hemi 212cc. 60363
It has the same taper as a Kohler 270 flywheel.
It is expensive to do the conversion.

The go kart goes once it is started so I can't start it get in and go I need someone to help hold it or I need to hold it while trying to get in and I have tried that multiple times and failed. (Go kart almost hit another at with no driver) so I need a eclectic starter or I need to fix something on it.

Have you tried lowering the idle screw?

 

[bob58o]

Maybe a new clutch?

So you do not need a starter, you need a tune up.

So you do not need a starter, you need a tune up.

And a lot of replacement brake parts.

Anyway...I think he's gone.

 

[pRoFiT]

emergency brake maybe?

A wheel chock is the immediate, easy remedy. They make portable ones now.

 

[Gbag]

Make sure your throttle cable is not too tight. Mine was so it rolled when i started it. Just loosen the cable to make sure the throttle arm returns completely.

 

[Jacksondpope]

Yeah I guess a tune up would be easier so I'll just do that. Thank you

I have one, it's called "a block of wood"

No... Cheaper and easier to fix the problem that causes the kart to take off!!!
