Engine seems to run fine. Idle is a little sloppy, but it's workable. I haven't tuned the carb too much since I replaced it. It's also got a little surging here and there, but I've been running the fuel levels low, because the fuel line is in need to replacement, just haven't had time.

No. I'll give that a shot.

6:1 gear ratio and 13.50 rear tires.

Hey guys- My kids and I have been wearing a kart I bought them a couple months ago out pretty well. Having a blast with it. Some little Chinese kart with a Tecumseh Powersport 5 in it. I think the clutch may be headed south. When I first start it, it's almost got no power. Doesn't want to...

Well, I rebuilt the carb and she's running with plenty of power.. Drug the wife and I (I'm 230 alone) at a speed that had us cackling the entire way. :) Then, the pull cord spring broke, so now I need to replace that. I'm tempted to just throw a Predator 79cc on it for now. The Briggs 5hp is...

Funny you should mention that. I got the carb put back together last night and started trying to dial it in. Guess what broke?

Thanks guys!

Ok guys, first things first - I'm 6'2" and 230lbs and will be riding this Doodlebug offroad 9.856 out of 10 times I get on it. 40 acre farm to play on. Anyway, I'm picking up my Predator 212 for my Doodlebug this weekend and I'm planning on a 30 series TAV along with some exhaust and...

Thanks. I wound up with a kit from RepairStation.com I think it is. Should be here any day.

Had some time today to mess with it.. Carb needs a rebuild me thinks. Looks like someone went full bore "turn until it don't no more" on the needle.. I guess I should probably grab a new one?

Thought about that. I had a car once that did the same thing with the coil, it was cracked and it'd get hot and that crack would grow and it'd stop working.

It's a 136212. It's running pretty pig rich, plug proved the story there. Ran the needle back in until lightly seated and then back out 1.5 turns and she won't even turn over, but I had been running it a bit and that's sorta in line with how it's acting.

Hey guys- Kinda new to the whole go-kart scene, but just started getting into it for my kids. My father-in-law rounded up a kart with a B&S "Fun Power" 5hp motor on it. It's fairly "well loved" and I'm planning on freshining it up a bit. It starts usually on the 3rd pull or so and will run...

Hey guys- I'm a newb to the mini bike scene, for the most part. Used to have a couple Honda Z50's. What is needed to get a larger rear wheel into a Doodlebug?
