Okay thanks so much. I already know that the throttle limiter screw is not unscrewed all the way, so that's one thing. I'll check out the torque converter too. It also looks like the torque converter came with a backup sprocket that is 10t, should I try putting that in? I'm going away for about...

So your saying I should downsize to a 60t? Here's a bunch of photos, hope they help. It needs to be painted red but I don't think that's the issue either.

o sorry my bad. 72 and 12. Chain is #35

Ok I will keep posted. I took it for its first run today. I was surprised that it went so slow. Its a 6.5 hp engine with this torque converter: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331033949001?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&rmvSB=true and at basically full throttle it was going...

It was the spark plug. Was a tiny bit loose. That or my pulling technique has gotten much better. Thanks

Hi, I got a brand new predator 212. Put in the oil and gasoline. Those were both new as well. I followed the directions and when I went to pull the chord it doesn't start and doesn't make any engine type of noises. Occasionally there will be a little pop if I pull enough, but most times it is...

Hi, I am doing a project for school. We mounted the engine, and attached the torque converter. This is how the sprocket and TC align. It is hard to get a good picture, but there is a little black one and behind it a big metal/gray one. It's clearly a tad off, but is this too much to the point...

Ok Great. We do have a nyloc nut. Thank you so much. We got collar locks as well, are those necessary? We did not want the nut to fall off and then everything fall apart. Also, we think that one of the hubs has a manufacturing error of sorts. Each hub has a front and a back bearing. Then those...

Trike looks awesome. I already got those hubs though. At the bottom of this page: http://www.gokartsupply.com/atvwl.htm. I'd send them back and order from BMI, but my project is due in four days so I don't think I have time. Kart is nearly done, I just want to make sure I know how to put in the...

I got those hubs but the bearings do not come inserted in and I am not sure how to assemble it. It comes as the hub, bearing and then this metal disk think (all in the picture on the website) They fit nicely into the hub, but how do I get them to stay in the hub? Do I need to press them in? I...

Ohh. Makes a lot of sense now. Thank for the help!

Hi, I ordered a return spring for my pedals assuming they would look like your normal extension spring. The thing I got doesn't and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how exactly I am supposed to set this thing up. I don't know how to attach pictures, but here are online images of what the...

Hi, My kart is basically done, but I realized today that the chain we have is too large. I thought that the TC and sprocket would be further apart, but they are not.. Is there a good way of making it smaller? Or am I better off getting a new chain. It is this chain...

Thanks! Wow it's that simple. That's great. Will the motor not vibrate the kart a ton if I attach it just using bolts? If so, any good ways to reduce that?

Ah. Didn't realize you posted again. My bad. I ordered the 60t but think Ill order the 72 now. I picked up the motor today though, what do you use to mount it? I think this plate is good...
