Not much of an update I'm afraid as the kart has taken a back seat again due to other jobs but the floor pan is now fitted along with the seat but it wouldn't start due to old fuel so it's just sat in storage at the moment

Cheers, I did read a little into the carbs a while back when I was thinking about fitting a mikuni style carb onto my gx200 kart, will have a fiddle with it sometime but for now my next step is to get the floor plate and seat refitted and take it for a spin :) once I know everything is working...

I did completely strip n clean the carb in order to get it running in the bike before removing the engine, my reasoning behind questioning the jet was because I've removed all the factory air intake etc so running a k&n cone filter so thought more air could be leaning it out ?

We have progress, completely rewired the starter to a new switch with all new wires and it all works perfectly, it even charges the battery when running :) slight issue tho is it doesn't want to rev up without the choke so would I be right in thinking this is a jetting issue in the carb ?

Stand switch is bypassed/removed and I don't think it had a clutch switch

Uploaded it to YouTube I think that's the only way to do it

Hi, spent a whole day trying to sort out the wiring loom for the electronic start and got nowhere :( I chucked all the loom back together and started the engine by hot wiring the starter straight off a battery. I've got a short video of it running but no idea how to upload it on here ?

I haven't dropped of the face of the earth lol updates will come soon just flat out with other jobs at the moment 😓

It just says that there is a network error, it's no big deal the new layout works well on my phone's web browser and is easy to use so I'm more than happy just to ditch taptalk :)

Taptalk isn't working at moment is that due to this ?

Hi, so basically I need some advice on what to do with my go kart engine. It's a GX200 clone which ran fine In stock form with a 12 tooth centrifugal clutch and 66 tooth axle sprocket. I was mainly using the kart in a field so fitted bigger tyres (went from 11" diameter to 13") Also at this...

Hi all, I'm new to this forum but not new to go karts. After recently building a grass track around my field for my GX200 powered kart I decided I wanted something faster. I decided I wanted something with gears so set about trying to find a bike engine, found someone local that was scrapping a...
