Its on there. I have stacked other washers along with it so the two aligned but that does not leave enough space for the other part of the driver pulley to be securely attached.

I have a Tav2 30 Torque converter bolt-on kit on my Predator 212. It's been burning through belts and I think it is because the two pulleys aren't aligned. Is there any way to fix this?

You could just buy a $70 clone TAV 30 bolt on and move the sprocket on to the left side. That's what I did and it's probably the cheapest and easiest thing to do.

Can you send some pictures of your setup?

If it's not a 3002, look here to see which model looks like the one you have. http://www.bmikarts.com/Yerf-Dog-Owners-Manuals_ep_44-1.html

Is the belt supposed to be that far into the driven pulley? Every torque converter I've seen has the belt right on the very edge of the pulley like in the picture. Does it make a difference? Maybe he needs a new belt?

Make sure your throttle cable is not too tight. Mine was so it rolled when i started it. Just loosen the cable to make sure the throttle arm returns completely.

I would definitely check the type of brakes and their condition. When I bought mine the guy said the brakes worked and I forgot to check. $40 dollars for new brakes...

I'm surprised to say that it started up and ran fine. Thanks for the help.

I didn't wire the switch up wrong, I had it on and it was working fine, I just disconnected it for a second and put it exactly the same it was before. The engine is 3 or 4 months old but hasn't been run much. I'm gonna try starting it again and see what happens

I just went to start the predator on my kart and as soon as I pulled the cord it sounded like a gunshot went off. It started perfectly 5 minutes ago, I wired up the kill switch, and then it happened. Smoke was coming out near the exhaust. I'm scared to try and start it again. Anyone know what...

Spend $100 and get yourself a predator 6.5hp or 170 for a powerland 16hp

I would get why some of you more experienced guys might not like them, but I'm a young guy and these are the guys who made me want to build my first kart. I feel like they speak to a broader audience than just the go kart maniacs. "It'll be fine" and "for testing purposes" (sometimes jokingly...

For my kart I took my old sprocket and hub and centered and bolted a new bigger sprocket on it. Then I had them welded together. This will waste the old sprocket but you won't have to buy a new hub. I wouldn't do this if you plan to use te 60 tooth for something else.
