half breeder knows what he's talking about. he helped me out with my steering.

i had the same problem. found a mom and pop hardware store that had the proper sized nyloc nut BUT less than half the thickness of the original nut that didn't fit.

Puting a stage 1 upgrade kit on a stock non hemi predator. The kit comes with an 8* advance timing key. Do I really need to do this if I'm not changing the cam or flywheel or removing the governor? Thanks all

Hey half-breeder, what size rims / tires are on this kart in the first pic? Both front and rear. Then, what did you change to in the second pic? Thank you

so, in a blind test, would the average dork (me) be able to tell the difference in performance between the models?

ok. how different / better / worse than the non-hemi are these ones?

I read in another thread (but now of course cant find that one), that someone mentioned that they bout the HF predator with serial number xxxxx... then someone responded by saying that that particular engine was the correct one to buy. what is the difference between the engines besides the...

exactly!!!! I don't know what im talking about since im new to the karting world. don't pay any attention to that. with that said, I was thinking 410/350-4 in the front. and 410/350-6 in the rear. I just really like the big old rims / tires in the back. especially since I wont be doing...

Thanks for the info, fabroman. If i do 4" wheels on the front and 6" wheels on the back, what would be a good rear chain wheel size to go down to? Also, what is the proper name / type of the rear wheels that are currently on my kart (not sure if you can tell by the pics I posted)? I realize...

Half-breeder, I read that thread of yours and watched the videos. Nice job on that!

Thank you everyone for the responses. fabroman - should I worry about burning out the clutch or belts if I change the back wheels size? The wheels are straight. I messed with stuff before I really started to read and understand about ackermann. I'm gonna figure that stuff out this winter...

Oh, I believe it. This is the second set of HF wheels I put on. The first ones I was riding, the right one popped going down the road.

also, i want to install a better brake set up. maybe a disc? any ideas? tips for this? i will be mostly tooling around on pavement and the occasional yard. no real "off roading".

hi, new to the forum. very nice site. thank you everyone that contributes to make it so great. I've recently had the chance to buy a 2 seater manco kart. perhaps a dingo? it ran when i bought it but blew smoke. i tried to do some carb TLC with no good luck. so i bought the infamous...

Hi, first time post here. Could you tell me what size wheels and tires you used in the front and back? This looks like what I'm after for a manco 2 seater I just picked up a few weeks ago. The guy I got it from had riding lawn mower tires on the front and back. I need a good reliable...
