    When you put it that way.....I left the weights in the whole time. 🙄🤦‍♂️

    Need setup advice

    Now I'm just waiting on the front sprocket and 7" driven. Getting that bottom spring out was a little tricky. The old one was under a lot a tension. The new ones are longer and under less tension so they were pretty easy to put in.

    Yea it's the price of the 212. What's the difference?

    Need setup advice

    I just read this week's HF brochure and the Predator 212's will be on sale for $100 next weekend (this week if you're Inside Track). So even if the motor is somehow trashed, I could replace it fairly cheap.

    Right now it's negotiated to $400. Depending on how everything looks when I get there, I may be able to squeeze a little more off the top.

    Need setup advice

    I may have found a 2nd cart. It's a live axle with full suspension, roll cage, new tires (larger back tires like mine), and it has a Predator 212 with torque converter. The only issues I see are the seat will need to be replaced, add seat belts, and they owner says the carb needs to be cleaned...

    Need setup advice

    I appreciate all the help. I have a workshop and consider myself fairly handy but not a mechanic. I do 90% of the service on our vehicles, as well as some bolt on stuff to my car, and other small engines (mowers, etc). I'm just not comfortable tearing into motors...yet. Looking at that cart...

    Thanks. For this one, Id rather not open the engine. I've been trying to meet up with someone locally to look a one seater with a 212 for $250. It's got a burnt clutch but the owner claims it fires up on the first pull. So if it works out, that'll be my next project and shouldn't require a lot...

    Need setup advice

    Yep, I've got everything except the 8T sprocket, 7" driven, and 3100 springs. The 7" driven has been delayed for the past 3 days at a local terminal. The garter springs should be in Mom and the sprocket shows Weds. So by next weekend I should be able to give her a test run. I need to undo the...

    Thanks. I did a few fitment tests but forgot to take pictures. The 4 holes are drilled 1" from the edge. It won't stick out further than the motor itself. So I'll mount the motor to it, set it in place, align the 8T sprocket, and mark a couple bolt holes from underneath. From there I can take...

    Need setup advice

    I think this is going to work. Once some parts come in and I can align it I'll drill holes to mount it to the old mount.

    Need setup advice

    Is there a spec sheet somewhere that I can download? I did the initial 30 mins at idle, changed the oil (non-synthetic), attempted to ride it at low rpms (and realized the clutch/gearing wasn't going to work). That was about another 20 mins, changed the oil again, and it's been sitting since. I...

    Need setup advice

    Re-read and understand what you're saying now. I got it adjusted so that it doesn't hit and I held her down on concrete to burn off any fuel I dumped in. She's not fully broke in yet so I'll hold off on the WOT until I can do that. I'm mocking up a new motor mount ATM. I'll end up trimming one...

    Need setup advice

    I probably need to crank it now and make sure I didn't just flood it. I still don't fully understand what I'm looking for so here's a video. https://photos.app.goo.gl/JSgapiG8CADbJZoQ7

    Ok, gotcha. This is how it came from the factory. I haven't messed with it.

    Sorry, I'm going to need it dumbed down a little. What exactly am I looking for?

    Got it, thanks.

    Need setup advice

    Is this bolt to the tank or a different one holding it? I'm hoping I can simply lift it out of the way without draining/detaching it.
