I think it's my idle gas mixture. I will post a video asap to show the issue. I might just bring it to a repair shop.

I got the engine off of a pressure washer. It had the fuel pump and tank with it. I am going to test the fuel pump today to see if I am getting a good flow. ---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ---------- The gas tank has a petcock so it's tough to see...

So I finally tried taking my manco deuce for its first ride with the new 16hp vanguard vtwin. I am able to drive around but the engine dies when I hold full throttle. I can go full throttle on flat surfaces for about 50ft before it dies. It will die out if I get it rutts or rough trails. I...

Not really into that, dont want to blow it!

Ok, I will try tonight. It still has the existing governor, should I remove it?

So I just upgraded my manco deuce to a 16hp vanguard v-twin. The engine fit well and it runs great. The only thing keeping me rolling is the high idle. I am not able to get it in forward or reverse safely. It will go into gear but it is pretty violent and it chirps the tires. I have a...

I finally got a free weekend to beat on the Manco Deuce and I rode roughly 20 miles on over the course of Saturday and Sunday. The terrain was mostly wooded trails and farm fields but I found some great mud pits and broke in my 32 inch led light bar. I learned not to shut off the kart after...

First spring ride! Here is a video from our first spring ride. It features my Manco Deuce and my brother in law's scorpion 250. Mudding anyone? xL8r7lvG8ug

Torque Converter is a transmission Think of a Torque Converter as a transmission. It is a belt drive systems that adjusts the speed by rpms and friction. Basked on the size of the kart and the predator 212cc engine, I think its the best way to go. Here is a pic of how it would configure...

Looks like the torque conveter has seen better days. A new set up will run 75$ to a hondo. Frame looks solid though!
