Thanks, for the help. Prior to removing the engine, I found a large crack in the bottom of the engine along with a big piece of the casing missing and tweaked. Speaking to the previous owner, The other engine on the bench was attempted to be rebuilt but, had other internal issues so he decided...

I recently got a Trailmaster for my kids for very cheap. The Previous owners kids blew up two GY6 motors in a relatively short period which I discussed in my introduction thread. I bought the buggy for $100 and decided to try to go with a Predator 212 setup conversion. A quick list of what I...

Thanks for the response SID, I’m still troubleshooting as you mentioned. I Wanted to parallel with purchase options to speed up the process if needed to order an engine. I purchased starter fluid to troubleshoot the carb and fuel systems and will be doing the ignition/spark testing tonight. I’m...

I’m thinking about just ordering a new engine and attempting to rebuild this one when it starts to snow here in WA to have a backup/spare and to learn a little bit about these engines. Which replacements would you recommend ? Open to either same size or slightly bigger/mire powerful that would...

So I bench tested the other starter and it turned over. The one installed was definitely bad. I installed the other one on the engine and it worked but still no engine start.

I do still have it, is there a way to bench test the other one before bolting it up? If it clicks when ignition switch is pushed doesn’t that mean it is working?

Inspected both engines: Engine not installed is 1P52FMH (think was the original that failed and was replaced) and the current non-operational installed engine is 152FMH. I got the battery installed and keyed it on, the starter clicks when ignition button is pushed, one light is broken but...

I took a few pics of the one on my bench but the installed engine doesn’t have any placards or numbers that I can see. The motor installed looks very similar but has no markings visible. The Lights do not matter to me, was thinking about just rigging LEDS or using battery operated independent...

Thanks for the inputs, as mentioned before... I’m still in the discussion point right now in regards to fixing vs swapping. I appreciate your experience and knowledge in regards to rebuilding vs realistic costs of swapping and modifying. I’m charging the battery now and plan to see what I have...

Thanks for the info, I will check out the video. I've Been trying to learn as much as possible over the last day or so. I appreciate all of the information and agree, I have not had a chance to really investigate the current status of my installed engine. I'm charging the battery now and will...

Awesome, thank you for the help. As far as cost I’m not too concerned based on how cheap I bought the kart for. I Just want it to be fun to drive for me and the kids. My 9 year old will be doing most the work as a learning project with me. He’s helped me with my classic cars and is very...

This is the engine setup I have and the original engine removed. Again looking to swap a predator 212 for cost, upgradability and power unless there is a benefit in keeping the original engines and try to rebuild them. Here are the pics of what I have, the previous owner said the motor already...

I appreciate the information! I’m excited to get into this project. I’m very interested in converting to a Predator 212 based on cost and modifications available. The pull start does not bother me since my boys are 5 and 9 and I’d prefer to be the one to always controls the use of it with some...

Hello My name is Aaron. Im here to learn some skills from group to get my kart operational and have some fun with it. I have always wanted a Go-Kart or little buggy to mess around in and now even more so for my kids to enjoy and learn. I just purchased a Kart/buggy from a friend in hopes of...
