    Looking for wheels with 1"I'd bearings

    Yeah, huge, I know. I picked up a free cart yesterday but there are no wheels on it. The axle is 1"OD, and while I can find rear wheels with that ID I can't find affordable front wheels on bushings or bearings that size. I've checked Amazon, eBay, HF, Northern Tool, and I'm thinking I may have...

    Predator 670 questions

    Does anyone have a vtwin predator? I think I can get one for about $500, but I need some measurements before I pull the trigger on it. I want to put it in my garden tractor.

    Carb trouble

    I've got a hemi predator with jetted carb, and it seems the float needle isn't sealing. I haven't seen needle seats, but I have seen needles somewhere online. Now considering I have this problem, should I work on it and try to rejet the carb and see if I can make my cam work a little better, or...

    Slightly off topic engine question

    It's time to replace the vertical shaft briggs in my push mower. I am planning on a Predator 5.5. I don't see on the website what the mounting style is for the blade, nor the mount pattern for the engine itself. I know its a long shot but does anyone know?

    Looking for opinions

    A friend of mine is having a go kart party. I'm looking for a bit more of an edge, I have a hemi Predator with light billet flywheel, billet rod, and governor delete. What I want to do next, is a cam and 14cc head, and I'm sure the cam will come with somewhere around 22b springs. This is...

    crashed my kart last night

    And I am sore from head to toe today. Last night I stopped by a friends house, who live about three blocks away. He has 3 BKS Grasshoppers, and when I showed up he had 2 more on the workbench. We talked about the new karts for a bit, then decided to do some hot laps around the neighborhood. As...

    how would you check valve spring rate?

    The kit I bought and put in my Predator came with 18lb valve springs. I put them in the same time I installed a billet flywheel and rod. However, my engine doesnt seem to rev any faster, and in fact sounds like it misses a few cycles at WOT. Stock springs are supposed to be 10.8lbs. How should I...

    Should we have a speed thread?

    for example 212 predator, intake, exhaust, 36 jet, no gov, 7.2:1 ratio cent clutch 15" tires 34 mph measured by gps speedo app on smartphone Some other things will factor in to the speed though, like kart weight and rider weight, going up hill or down hill, how the speed is measured, but this...

    Well crap.

    I've lost three master links so far, the last time I hadn't even gotten out of my driveway. Aside from chain alignment and tension, is there something else I should look at? Or is my new engine just too much for a 40 chain? I do have a chain rivet tool, if I can find a rivet on ML I'll try that...

    pic request

    Can someone post a pic of a torque converter installed? I'm curious to know how much room one needs. I've been thinking about running one, but I don't think I have the space.

    how about some advice before screw up?

    Okie dokie... I am swapping the Fun Power 5 for a Predator 212. I bought some parts online and one of them was a top plate, therefore I had to remove my fuel tank. Now I have my fuel pump mounted, but I need a pulse to run it. There is a port cast into the valve cover. It used to dump into the...

    Here's another dumbass idea

    Ok, I was thinking this the other day. I have an old non-running garden tractor sitting around. The thing is belt drive, and I was thinking laying the trans axle on its side and running it direct drive. Motor in front, clutch, driveshaft, trans. The only thing is, I don't know what kind of lube...

    I've got a dumb idea

    This has probably been discussed before, but I didn't see it in a search, and I didn't know just what to search for, so here goes What do you guys think about using a cassette from a ten or twelve speed bike? The cassette is this part on the wheel I'm wondering if it would hold up to a 6 or...

    Speed calculation (check my math)

    Just to make sure I am doing this right I'd like someone to check my math. 1 mile = 5280 feet 5280*12=63360 inches Max engine RPM = 3600 Gear ratio = 6:1 3600/6=600 Wheel rpm = 600 600rpm*60 minutes= 36000 revs per hour Tire diameter = 13inches 13*pi=40.84 Good so far...
