    Raising the engine mount

    I have a manco intruder II and just bought a GTC torque converter. The problem is the bracket for the torque converter hits the sprocket and there is not enough room for the chain. I am thinking I need to raise the motor up. Any suggestions for raising the motor up?

    Manco lack of power

    On thing i learned in the past month, if you are doing any off road driving, a centrifugal clutch is not the answer. You will want a torque converter.

    Manco lack of power

    Engine problems

    So I just wanted to wrap this up for anyone that may come across this. Today I installed the torque converter. It made a world of a difference. I also ended up replacing the subframe since it had previously been cracked and rewarded. After installing the torqu converter it no longer takes 10 min...

    So I partly took the carb apart and sprayed it with carb cleaner. I also changed the oil. It starts right up and after about 5-10 min of warming up your could hear it kick over to wanting to run like the choke disengaged. I think I am on the right path and will test it out this weekend. Then...

    Engine problems

    Not that I prefer them but I was researching cross ref for the plug and many people said that plug was junk. Most suggested ngk and that was the plug I found and was available any my local auto parts store. It's only $3 so I might get one just for sh*ts and grins.

    Engine problems

    So I took out the spark plug and this is what I got. It looks carbon fouled (or almost there since it still runs). Any thoughts on this? http://www.ipicit.net/picit/1369877396.3044.iPicit.jpg

    Engine problems

    I had a conversation with a seller on ebay a month or so ago and he suggested the 40 series due to my specs. He also said there is not "kit". Do you agree with him that i would need to go with that size?

    Engine problems

    So i tracked the guys phone number down from my old cell phone bill. I just texted him asking if it had a torque converter and if he still had it. Now we wait to see if he responses.

    Engine problems

    I will get pictures hopefully tonight but the more i research this i think the guy i bought the gokart from screwed me and pulled the torque converter off before selling it. I have not been able to find any specs where the manco intruder comes with a centrifugal clutch. He said when i bought...

    Engine problems

    In relation to the open and closed choke, the choke leaver is all the way over and it doesn't seem to matter where it is. It's basically luck of the pull. More often it seems like its in dont move mode. The you have to turn it off and restart it and hope that is the lucky pull.

    Engine problems

    I am new to Gokarts. I recently bought my daughter a mandco intimidator with a predator 212 motor. The guy I bought it from said it was new and it looked liked like it. There are a few problems I am having with it. First off, I can get the engin running but it seems like there are two different...
