The axle on my kart (not yerf dog) snapped the same way. It had a casting flaw through the entire axle. I bought my new one from manufacturing supply. Stock cast axles kinda suck.

Very cool build, and I DIG the tires bro!

Is that tiny little filter for your air filter, or is that a breather vent filter?

Get rid of the one tire fire and go to a live axle setup. Other than that, you are not gonna get a really aggressive tire for a small wheel.

I can tell you for a fact that widening the rear axle will make it steer worse. The narrower the rear, the easier it will steer. I went from a 48" rear axle to a 54" rear axle and my steering went to crap. I am now working on fabricating a yerf dog style front end, which will widen the front...

Ditto. Everything I buy off the shelf has to be cut, welded, and modified to work. I mean EVERYTHING!

Only thing I can think of is is contacting a local machine shop and give them the specs for a sleeve and see if they can make one for a series 40 setup. I haven't seen a sleeve for sale on the web, but it sounds like you have too much invested in your 212 to buy another engine. Unless you want...

18x9. Pressure is at 17-18 psi.

My kart is a full suspension kart with upgraded coil-over shocks/struts. It handles the weight and horse power I throw at it. I abuse the crap out of it, with jumps through and over creeks, around trees, and long straightaways with whoops and small ruts. The only problem I have with my predator...

I use a series 40 clutch and driven on my setup. 16 hp engine, with 10 tooth driver and a 60 tooth driven sprocket. Works great with my kart on my 5 acres with a creek running through it. I have no problem climbing hills, or getting to top speed (around 40 mph). A centrifugal clutch isn't gonna...

Here is a pic of my rear suspension angle. Is this about what you did jamyers? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/Grimace68/A7EE8B86-D7AB-4C41-A5F9-44A81ED70702-187-000000084CF6166E.jpg

I looked at your blog, but didn't see the part number for your carb. You have a 420 predator? If you don't mind, could you post a link or where I can buy one? I went to the tillotson website, but don't know what carb to buy. Thanks.

They are gas/hydraulic coil overs. The springs are pretty stiff. I am 6'3" and 285 lbs it takes a lot to compress the springs. I can drop the tires to 14 psi or so and see if that helps.

Not sure how to adjust my suspension, the coil overs have no adjustment, and my frame/swing arm mounts are fixed with no adjustments. I will read the B&S website for the adjustments, thanks you guys.

Oh it tries to flood, but I get off the gas until it settles down. Is there a carb that would be better than the stock unit or should I try to tighten the slack out of the big governor spring. It has a lot of play in it before the throttle catches it to pull toward wot. Could be that the spring...
