Lifan is usually a gy6 design the 200cc is a gy6 design if it's not the spark plug test the coil if the coil is not getting power check the cid if when the cid is replaced and it still will not run 9 times out of 10 it's the flywheel sensor the charging system shorting or the resistor has gone...

Either way the only way we are going to find out what this thing is is more pics a vin number and research.

My 2007 Timberline crossfire 150

My 1995 briggs and Stratton fun horse go kart Tried getting the bend out but not enough heat

My 2007 Tomberline crossfire 150cc and proof that timberline at on point made karts. Did I say timberline sorry common mistake:oops: But you're right in the fact that chinese karts are hard to ID and tomberland has not made a gas powered anything sense 2009 that I know. But the kart above looks...

Chinese make has a gy6 and yerfdog is the performance parts company for that type of motor warning they are hard on upkeep. There are about a thousand different versions of this same buggy and the company that produced this frame doesn't make this model anymore and unfortunately there is a...

Any thing with plastic cams I tend not to trust and try to find a cast iron or forged replacement cam and timing gear. Also I was able to find parts for some old engines on partstree.com as long as you have the engine code and serial number the site is easy to use for instance I was able to...

I'll have to look for pics of the old kart.

I would stick with the good old fast 5hp briggs just because they are easy to mod and are hard to destroy not to mention the briggs will most definitely be safe and reliable and will more than likely outlast your frame. A Briggs and Stratton was on my first kart from when I was 5 I'm now 16-17...

I agree with this guy but if those things don't work check your valve gap clearences cold then hot because when your motor heats up your exhaust valve might not close or seal all the way and you lose compression if they are off.

Hi my name is Michael I live in Tusk county Ohio my first go kart was a old locked up 5 horse briggs fun horse go kart that my dad fixed up for me and it shook so bad that the welds holding the tubular frame were breaking. That kart ran until the day the throttle got stuck and slammed into a...

The Lifan version is the only reliable one but it's been altered so much that it can't be used on any other platform other than motorbike and I can't find any Lifan engines that are not super expensive. If I do find one I am probably going to heavily mod it then find a way to throw it in my...

The GY6 engine design is every where and is known and sold by many names such as yerfdog and Lifan but where did it come from and why is it so hard to keep one of these in opperation. I have a timberline crossfire with a 150cc howitt GY6 and have had so many problems with it such as ignition...

If you can try adjusting the air fuel mix if its to rich or to lean it could cause a high idle speed. If not check for vacuum leaks in and around the carb. ---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ---------- check gaskets around the carb if even one carb...
