    Problem starting Predator 212. Help!

    What's up, guys? I replaced an old engine with an out of the box predator 212 last year. Eventually the the double flange hub broke and I had a hard time finding one. Anyways, it stayed out in the weather for a few months with gas still in it. I thought I had put it away, but I was wrong, haha...

    More take off?

    I just switched for 13" tires to 15" tires and the take off dropped a lot. I've never counted the size of the drive sprocket on my kart, but the engine sprocket is 12 teeth. In theory, if I put a bigger drive sprocket on it, it'll have better acceleration, right? I just need something that...

    Predator 212 governor springs?

    Does anyone know if and where I could get the 2 springs and rod that go from the governor to the carb? The tiny spring somehow broke and the rod.....well, I guess I lost it :\ I still have the thicker spring, though.

    Got my 212 yesterday :)

    Had to drive to Macon, but I got it. Was a nice little trip, though. Stopped at the new Guitar Center and was impressed :) Anyways, is it just me or is the 212 a little slow? Should I take the governor out? I should probably get a better flywheel and rod to handle the higher rpms, right? And...

    Newb question about the 212 engine.

    The mounting dimensions are 6.40" L x 2.95" W - 3.17" W. Is the 3.17" from top to bottom bolt, 2.95" across from two bolts, and then 6.40" diagonally? Trying to find out if it'll mount on my kart today.

    Kart only getting spark sometimes.

    I have a Tecumseh 5hp engine that's only getting spark sometimes. Before it cut off and started acting stupid, it was running fine. Then it just cut off. I tried to start it back up and it acted like it didn't want to turn over. I also noticed that it was a little harder to pull the pull start...

    GY6 85cc engine on my kart?

    I have a scooter with a 50cc engine bored to 85cc. I just got it running again this morning, and got to thinking if it'd actually work on the kart. The only concern I'd have is if it'd have enough power to pull the go kart and whoever was riding it. Wacha think?

    good deal on this kart?

    Browsing craigslist and came across this kart. Gonna see if I can get it for $350. What do you guys think? Does it have 2 chains on it, or am I just seeing things? http://macon.craigslist.org/sno/4286646686.html

    Kill switch hook up?

    After taking the engine on my kart apart, I noticed I forgot to hook the kill switch back up, and of course I didn't take notice to how it was hooked up beforehand. :\ It has a regular kill switch on the side of the engine, but then it has another one right under the steering wheel with a...

    brakes getting hot?

    I noticed yesterday that my breaks are getting really hot. It's getting the point that they've so hot they become super sensitive to the slightest pressure on the pedal and sometimes lock up. Could they be based over? I got some oil on them the other day and maybe that burned on them creating...
