    Predator 301 High Idle

    To be honest, that’s how I bought it and I guess I didn’t know any better to change it, I just assumed it was on there correctly. I’ll try to make a few adjustments to fix it, thanks for pointing it out because I wouldn’t have noticed it myself

    Predator 301 High Idle

    Engine is off the kart right now but let me see what I can do for you with some old pictures. I never changed the throttle setup since I bought it and never had a problemo with it till now. The pedal is spring loaded by a rod as you can see in the video I sent and I also attached a few pictures...

    Predator 301 High Idle

    In response to the fourth point, yep I screwed that spring up by accident when I was trying to adjust something. I bought a new one the other day but its still revving incredibly high. (First picture is old spring second is new exact part that was installed. I've cranked the idle screw back...

    I believe the governor is engaging correctly with centrifugal force, as showed in this video I attached. Is the upgrade you're considering a complete governor delete? I think that might be a good idea if things are still not working correctly after trying to re-install the crank case. The...

    Predator 301 High Idle

    Hi again everyone, I’ve been trying out a few things over the last few weeks. - Bought a new carb, but still running at high RPMs like the old one was. - Tried on the old torque converter and that was fully engaging too. - When I’m cranking the engine with the wheels off the ground, the wheels...

    Predator 301 High Idle

    I'll try to find some old pictures and see if there's any differences in the throttle setup. It's highly possible something removed itself or came off while the engines been off the kart for all this time. If anyone else has a 301 with a working throttle/carb setup, would you mind sending in a...

    Disconnected, but unfortunately it’s still running in the 5000s. I suppose that rules out any problems with the throttle cable. perhaps it’s possible there’s some kind of large-scale air leak on the valve cover or something?

    Even more concerning is that when I started it up just after I sent this message, it began “idling” at 5000 rpm

    Sorry for the late reply! It’s been a busy week. I got around to running it today and sure enough that piece got moved back. Problem must lie somewhere else, then.

    There's only one other point of concern that I can think of, and its that one of the pieces on the carburetor never fully returns. I always assumed this was designed as I never experienced an issue with it in the past. I attached some photos to this reply showing you what I mean, and I may try...

    Predator 301 High Idle

    I've never adjusted or tampered with the carburetor before I encountered this issue. There is a chance that something could have been replaced incorrectly by the previous owner, though. The screw that I was adjusting was the one circled in the attached picture. From my research, I was confident...

    Predator 301 High Idle

    Hey everyone, Right now I’m running a modified predator 301 on my yerf dog 3020, and I decided to install a 40 series converter to keep up with some of the extra horses I’m making. However, the idle is running pretty high and the kart wants to take off on its own at idle. I’m measured it on my...

    New Brakes - Old Yerf Dog Frame

    I’ll have to try getting it off with heat. Would you usually heat it up with a blowtorch or something like that, or are there any household items that could get the job done? Thanks for the quick reply! I really appreciate it.
