    Yerf-Dog Warrior?

    I found a Yerf-Dog Warrior on FB with no engine or torque converter for $300. Thoughts on this? I have a 3203 (I think) that is kinda a work in process, is the Warrior bigger? It looks bigger.

    250cc engine rated "22hp"

    I have a Yerf Dog 3203 that I need to get running. It doesn't have an engine or TC. My Dad has a Polaris Trail Boss 250 that the transmission is jacked up and he can't get parts for. So he said I could have it. It has a 250cc 2 stroke that they say was rated for 22hp. I'm not sure how or if I...

    Bent tie rods

    So, just the one day of riding the newly restored kart and both tie rods are bent. What the heck did I do wrong? I didn't hit any big rocks or go off any jumps. What's the solution? I can't be replacing tie rods every time I take it out. On the ride home I could tell that it was steering...

    Axle Collars shifting inward

    After I cleaned up the go kart from our mud bath yesterday I noticed the rear wheels were really close to the swing arm. I looked and the collars that the hold the wheels out had slid inboard. The axle kit I bought is a single thickness all the way. So it uses collars to keep the wheels from...

    Well, I got our Go Kart running today.

    Took a couple shake down runs around the block with the kids. A couple times to adjust the throttle, lost the key in the brake drum so we had no brakes. Fixed those things. Then I got it going pretty good. I think I still need to do some adjustments to steering. I decided to take each of the...

    Axle rust prevention

    I had to cut the axle in half to get it out because the wheels were rusted on to the axle. I tried just about everything including a press. Anyway, what's the best way to prevent this from happening on my new axle? Especially where the wheels are? Anti-seize slathered all over where the wheels...

    Steering questions

    Is this the correct set up for my kart? It looks like the manual I downloaded, but dang it goes quite a bit below the frame. Is there a way to get it above the frame? I thought about flipping the Pittman arm (#50) so the tab is not at the end of the steering shaft. But then the holes done...

    Comet vs knock off

    Ok, so anyone used both a Comet torque converter and a knock off torque converter, is the Comet worth the higher cost? I'm talking like a cheap one from Amazon of unknown origins. It's tough because human psychology makes us feel that if we spent more on something we are gonna have a bias that...

    What am I doing wrong? Update in post 16

    See post 8 for updates From what I can tell this is the original torque converter that came on the Yerf Dog 3202. I bought the kart with the new 212 on it but it had never been used, started or even have a belt on it since the engine was installed. The driver pulley was missing. I bought a new...

    What kind of seat belts you guys using?

    Title says it all pretty much. I was thinking about getting some four point harnesses because I plan on the kids driving it. Am I going overboard? Is a regular old lap belt enough? Anyone require their kids to wear helmets so they don't smash their heads against the roll cage? I used to ride...

    Is this what I need?

    I bought a go kart that needs some work done. It came with a brand new engine but is missing some pieces for the drive train. I have included some pictures of the torque converter that it came with and the one other part that I have loose. Like I said it has a new engine, so it seems like this...

    Parts to keep on hand

    I'm working on a kart for the family and getting ready to order parts. Which parts do you order duplicates of so that you are sure to have a replacement on hand? I was thinking chain and belt, is there anything else that breaks/wears out more often?

    Rebuilding Yerf Dog 3203

    I'm rebuilding a 3203 for the family. I took it all apart and sanded down the frame to get rid of the messed up powder coat (I think powder coat) and get rid of a little rust. Here is the rattle can paint job I did. Pretty happy with the pattern I was able to get. Working on the seats now then...

    Governor and oil cut off removal question

    So I understand the reasoning behind the governor removal that is limiting rpm. But why are people removing the low oil cut off on Predator engines? Seems like a good safety to prevent issues. Just make sure it's not low on oil and we are increasing oil capacity by a TINY amount. It doesn't seem...

    Tire questions

    I have a Yerf Dog I'm rebuilding and have to get a new live axle kit. My question is about tire size and if I should get the kit that comes with the wheels and tires or get a kit without wheels and tires and get different wheels and tires. The kart came with 18x9.5-8 tires but on BMI the axle...

    Biggest engine for Yerf-dog 3203

    What is the biggest engine that I can fit in my Yerf-dog 3203? I know the Predator 212 and 224 fit, but what about the Predator 301 (8hp)? Anyone know if it will fit without a tone of modification? I'm pretty handy and know a guy who can weld, but I don't want to get deep into fabrication.

    Engine and torque converter questions

    I have a kart frame that I bought for cheap years ago. This is my first experience with any of this so I have a lot of questions. I talked to a guy at go powersports.com and he said with a Predator 212 I would need a series 30 converter but if I go any bigger I would need their Jugg-A-Verter or...
