Phantom Nemesis Champ Kart

[philip1]

I bought a Phantom Nemesis Champ Kart

it came with a stock and not healthy Briggs 5.5hp that quickly got swapped for a Predator 212.

New wheels and tires were next along with a human size seat.

then another set of wheels and tires with wider rear wheels.

some safety gear was reworked to fit me and it should be ready to zoom.

Nice kart

Those 5.5HP Briggs were beasts "back in the day"
...has it been built or "beefed up"?

Runnin' right it may "kick that Predators a$$"
...just sayin'

Anderkart I’m setting this one up for autocross so paved parking lots.

Functional the Briggs is a box stock bad casting with plastic camshaft junker. The predator has a few tweaks to bring it to as they call it stage 1 making around 12hp. I do plan to go to stage 2 with a better rod, big cam, light flywheel and mikuni carb. The stage 2 should make 16-18 hp “should “.

Stage 1 = 12hp? Not likely.

That "racing" kart came with
…& someone was racing it (all of these years) with
...a "box stock, bad casting, plastic cam junker" Briggs?

It/they musta lost a lot of races

Cool, just wanted to make sure you were aware that most kart tracks have strictly enforced engine rules, before you spend a bunch of money on engine mods they might not allow in the classes rookies are required to start out competing in...
