    Predator 212, new clutch, maybe not fully engaging?

    Holy cow, I was putting a 12 tooth clutch on, when the original was a 10 tooth! What a bone-head move. Swapped the outer cage to get the 10 tooth on the new clutch, all good! unbelievable! Works nice and quiet.

    Hello, and help ID this kart?
