We have a 2 seater dingo and it is working great but kids hate that it is so bouncy (no suspension) and no reverse. Princess auto (Canada version of harbour freight)sells this Kandi 200 that looks to be everything they want. Does anyone have any first hand experience with it. Do the engines...

Our 10 hp tecumseh spits oil out of rubber crankcase vent and burns oil . Are these engines worth fixing, would honing and new rings solve the problem? It starts and idles/runs fine.

I have a 10 hp tecumseh electric start engine on a Dingo. Battery fully charged it will barely turn over and sometimes will not at all. Starts first pull with pull cord. I took flywheel housing off and can hold the starter drive with my hand and prevent it from turning over when key is turned...

I bought an old 2 seater dingo a while back that needed some work. After getting it working my kids complained that it was very hard to steer. I came up with this idea and it has worked very well, kids love driving it now. 2:1 ratio with the sprockets.(9 and 18 tooth #40).

Engines such as the Honda gx 270 9hp side shaft always had a 1 wire coil. Now they have 3 wires, why is this?

I have an old dingo with 10 hp tecumseh. previous owner removed some parts (no idea why). The electric starter works fine when connected with booster cable to starter battery post, I was just going to use an old Ford starter solenoid for that. There are 2 wires coming our from flywheel cover one...

Could someone identify this clutch. I though it was a 40 comet but doesn't look similar to the pics I found online. 7 3/16" outside diameter.

This dingo has an open differential style rear axle. the final drove sprocket is mounted on some sort of hub which allows each rear wheel to turn independently. How do these normally work, do they have some sort of limited slip system or can they be locked up for better off road performance...

I just picked up a dingo with series 40 TC. The driven has approx. 0.040" wobble at outer diameter. Is this acceptable or will it cause trouble with belts. Also what is the procedure to properly align drive and driven clutches. Thanks

I just picked up a Dingo IX, two seater 10 hp tecumseh. It has a series 40 comet TC. Has anyone hear added one of those ~$200.00 FNR gearboxes to one. Would it be fairly straight forward project? Any other ideas for adding reverse? Maybe some sort of small geared electric motor from a surplus...

I have a 6.5hp electric start clone and added a second charging coil so there are 2 under the flywheel now. This engine came with a small diode and the coil I took from a honda 9hp had a small rectifier. Should I keep both independent of each other and then splice them together after their...

I just bought a new clone and removed gov, filed key for 8 degree advance, put in 18 lb springs. It is hard to start and when I choke it it backfires bit will eventually start. I had to raise the idle to approx 1900, anything less and it stalls. The carb has an idle mixtures screw and was close...

This is not go kart related but I couldn't get any responses in the sled forums so I thought I would ask here. I recently put a 200cc clone into my young fellas arctic cat 120 mini snowmobile and when I did it it had tons of power, it would spin the track with me (200lbs) and take me to 20mph...

I have a Hy-Spec 200cc 6.5hp electric start, oil alert engine. It does not seem to have a rectifier. When I compare it`s start switch assembly to one from a honda there are many less parts. The Honda has a key switch, circuit breaker, single fuse block, rectifier and something which connects to...

I have a Honda GX 270 which will run but is very hard to start. It consumes a lot of oil and only has 50 PSI compression. There are approx 10 000 hours on it so I decided I would replace the rings and head gasket. I opened it today and the head gasket looks OK, I took the top ring off and placed...

I cannot understand why you cannot just disconnect the govenor shaft from any of the throttle mechanism instead of having to remove completely. What difference does it make if it is left inside and not connected to anything?
