Dang Flying Hillbilly, maybe you should have built it for him too!!!

Consider venting it if you are going to be doing performance upgrades. If you are keeping it fairly docile then utilize your standard valve cover vent. Just remember any excessive pressures inside the crankcase generated by a hot engine will cause oil blowby if not vented.

I'd still advise a good carb cleaning. Pay attention to the tube above the jet. If it has been sitting make sure the screen filter in the tank hasn't gotten partially stopped up as well. If it has any fuel filters check those and also take apart and clean the trap at the fuel shutoff on the...

Sir, you have low compression. Should be around 90-100. This will make it difficult to crank. Under stock configs your timing should be in the area of 26 degrees I think. A premium fuel blend will open that gap a bit. As to troubleshooting wiring...I would have to have my hands on it. Many...

Nothing wrong with that setup. Lots of karts were set up like that. An example. And it works well. You as the installer just need to understand how to properly measure your belt and chain distance for an easy installation. Once you get a set up like this properly working you'll find it is far...

I think I've exceeded the manufacturer's max hp rating! Gonna have to do something about this set-up. May get a different driver in the future when the stock replenishes...the big one from GPS...

Pics won't work from my phone any more. Still working on it. But I did do some riding today. This yard kart just don't feel right at high speed. I got it going this fast and slowed down. I ran out of road and nerves. Maybe a better road I would stay on it...but not today. Previously I had it...

Here are the internals ready to go. I use oil as an assembly fluid. The same oil I run. If it was a really tight new engine I might use something different but I don't see a need with this old thing. I just wetted it all down good. Pic of engine with clone sidecover installed, much nicer BTW...

Here is the bottom of the cylinder where I clearanced for reference.

Well, something flakey is going on. Anyway, I cropped this image and it loaded fine. None of my images were too large before. Maybe I'm missing something. This is where I clearanced my rod. I need more appropriate tools for this kind of work if I keep doing it. But it's done. I'll add more...

I was putting it back together this afternoon until this happened. I don't like it. I don't know what the minimum rod to crankcase clearance is but this seems a little close. Means I gotta take it back apart and start over again. After I do something to clearance the rod...I don't have much...

Ok, so I've been talking about it. And I did. Some of you remember the first thread I did on this thing. I think it's a few pages deep now and it's closed due to age. I was going to put it on a mini chopper frame but the more I fiddled with that frame the less I trust it. So I put it on an old...

I have parts for both engines now. The one one the Murray and the 208. Unfortunately the monsoon continues.

I know it's not a good picture but there is the end of my throttle rod and the spring. I stacked a bunch of washers in there to limit its travel. Works great as a stop and adds feedback with the throttle spring.

Okay, in the top pic we have a brand new, unaltered virgin 301 predator. My finger is pointing somewhat to the throttle stop screw. Notice factory air box is in the way. But yeah that's it. In this picture we have a raggedy, well worn, 212 predator. Lots of rust from plenty of use and...

I thought the thread would be better with at least one pic to get started. Today has went in a strange direction. Maybe tomorrow I can get something started.

Just a question of curiosity. Has anyone out there ever put a performance cam in a governed engine? Nothing radical or high lift or anything like that. I was just curious. Actually I ordered the wrong one by mistake and was considering putting it in the kart I lend others to ride. It has a...

So I told you I would take a few pics for you. Rode it around the block a few time as well. So mine is nothing special, just a red rust bucket that still needs plenty of work.

digging around in my files on my PC. found a few pics that might help give you an idea what my kart has. these pics are old and I have made some improvements since then... the first pic is a top down view. shows I bought and replaced the original brake assembly. Also notice under the axle...

it's possible your differential is a Comet SCD-1 I have a couple of Ken-Bars with this setup on them. If your kart has dual disc brakes it is likely the case. You will want both your brakes adjusted properly and in good working order to maintain lateral control of your kart during braking...
