    Yerf Dog w/ Predator 6.5 struggling

    No, although I'm new to go karts and small engines, I'm not new to engines in general. The plug was a nice brown color.

    Oh, and I pulled the spark plug, everything looks great there.

    Yerf Dog w/ Predator 6.5 struggling

    I'll try to give as much information as possible now that my son and I did some extensive riding today. We covered about 9 miles today between riding to the park, a gas station for hot chocolate, and then surprising his mom at work. I am running 60T and 10T sprockets. Is there a how-to? I...

    Yerf Dog w/ Predator 6.5 struggling

    Oh, and my foot is flat on the floor when I start to accelerate again around the :36-:37 mark.

    Yerf Dog w/ Predator 6.5 struggling

    Bogs down is the wrong way to explain it. I tried to get a video a few minutes ago and here is the best I could get. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d_9HV41CYk This is about the best performance I've gotten out of it since the first day I installed the belt. You can hear it holding back (hey...

    Yerf Dog not performing w/ Predator 212

    The kart has the OE sprockets: 10t and 60t. I've attached a picture of the way the belt sits with the chain tightened to spec. Please ignore the oil spatter, that was due to a previous incident (i.e. I didn't tighten the oil fill plug down...whoops!)...

    Steering issue (yes, I've searched)

    I've searched and searched and read about all I care to about steering geometry but I've decided to just ask about it. My son's Yerf Dog is a blast to drive, but the steering is off. When at speed (which is only 17mph right now) the cart will rocket to the right with the slightest input but...

    Yerf Dog not performing w/ Predator 212

    I recently installed a HF Predator 212 in my son's Yerf Dog 3203. The cart did not run before the swap, so I have nothing to compare it to, but it seems like it is under-performing. How fast should I expect it to go with a total rider weight of about 240? I was only able to pull 17mph...

    New guy question

    I believe a lot of the Yerf Dogs came with a mechanical, not a hydraulic, disc and caliper setup. I did not see the point in converting for a kart that will rarely see higher than 25mph. Also, the question was more of a "Is fabrication necessary?" Not, "I don't know what I'm doing...help!"...

    New guy question

    I'll spare everyone the long introduction and just hit the main points. -Working on a Yerf Dog 3203. -First go kart I've ever owned. -I bought it for my son and have since replaced many parts. -Parts list includes: New HF engine and 100% new rear axle assembly (axle, sprokets, converter, chain...
