    Predator 346cc to charge a battery

    Hi guys, I have a pull start Predator 346cc engine on my kart. It has the low oil sensor and a kill switch. I see there is a electric start and a pull start version of this engine. I am assuming the electric start version can charge a battery. So can the pull start version charge a battery...

In my mind it made sense it didn't work because pressure against the pad was angled so the piston probably got bound up. Took...

    Hi there from Vernon, BC. Picked up a dirt buggy go kart similar to stangfuri's (don't have a picture handy) and took it for its first spin today with my son. We had such a hoot that he wants to go again tomorrow. I am not sure who's more excited, him or me :) It is a 150cc model but the...
