    2 stroke conversion

    Strictly for educational reasons, has anyone converted a predator to 2 stroke? I am sure there are some 2 stroke Briggs conversions out there. "Just because I can" cases. Would there be any major advantages to such a setup? Or would it just be a conversation starter? Again, I have no intention...

    Sears and roebuck B&S help

    Hello all, I have what looks like a briggs 3hp made for sears. It came off a rototiller and runs okay. I was wondering if I could get some details on it or a place to search it. I can seem to find the briggs serial for it. If it's worth it I would like to put it in a minibike for my boys, since...

    20mm slide carb

    So I have found a deal on a 20mm slide carb. I dont remember the brand. Probably chineese manufactured. My question would be if that would work for my predator 212 stage 1. It doesnt have to be an upgrade, just stock replacement at least. I can drill jets. From what I can find, my early model...

    16hp briggs cast iron single cylinder

    I was looking around the local flea market the other day and I saw what looked like an enormous briggs flathead. I have done a little research and I think it's the 16hp single cylinder. I have seen that if I am correct, the have a few different versions. Some of which would not suit a go kart...

    Predator 212cc 18lbs valve springs

    I am working on a predator for when my tejunkseh blows (if it does!) And I am going to remove the governor. It is a stage 1 right now. Can i use the 18lbs springs without going billet internals? I am sure it is not recommended, but I am curious because red beard's garage does it.

    Clutch drum brake

    I have a buddy who has seemed my advice about fitting a better brake on his sons kart. I dont know the make/model but it has seriously limited axle space because it has an enclosed axle. It currently has the tire paddle friction brakes and they are just not suitable. Enter this thread...

    Yerf dog project kickoff

    This is the yerf dog 3202 (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) that I picked up for my boys. I don't have many toys myself so I got something we could share. It is completely stock minus the butchering it received from its previous owner and I'm assuming a rollover. When I got it home I got it...

    Two speed centrifugal clutch

    I've been reading a lot of these old two speed minibikes and I am struck curious. They seem supercomplicated, but my uncle swears the one he had as a kid was stupid fast. Why arent these popular? Would it be worth replacing my torque converter? Maybe a neat project cart in the future? Thoughts?

    Yerf dog rear tires

    Hey all I picked up a yerf dog 3202 and it needs some tires that dont suck. They are 20x10-8 and there are limited choices in that size. I am upgrading to a stage 1 predator without the governor so power shouldn't be a problem. Would you guys suggest moving up or down sizes? It's mostly a trail...

    TCT vs. Mikuni vm22

    Hey everybody! I picked up a predator 212 for a off road cart I have and I want to upgrade the carb. I was looking at the Tillotson TCT mechanical fuel injection and the mikuni vm22 and I'm not sure which would be best for my application. The engine has a stage 1 kit and I am going to remove the...

    OHV tecumseh 6.0 upgrades

    I just picked up a yerf dog with the 6hp tecumseh powersport. I have had a kart with this engine before and i was not pleased with the performance. I want to do a mild build on it and was wondering if polishing the rod would be enough to remove the governor without grenading the internals. I...
