    New predator 212 will not run without choke on?

    Thanks for the help! Gonna try everything suggested that's simple. I would just return it but we live 2 hours from h.b sucks!!!! It looks to me the air filter nuts are the only way to tighten it down. There's not a separate mount just for carb. Try some tinkering and get back with all. Thanks again!

    well got h.f on the kart It appears the shaft may be a bit shorter on the h.f than the tec. The belt pully's don't line up off by just a hair. I guess im going to grind down the shaft spacer a bit. Net come hooking up throttle. Getting there!
