    First time kart owner - manco dingo

    There wasnt much to mine. Just involved the clutch from the crank. My "backing plate" which held the other pulley was mounted to the frame of the go kart.

    First time kart owner - manco dingo

    @Contender54 no fab work was necessary using the mounting plate/backing plate that was on the kart. Wellb i should say i had to bent forward the seat back by maybe a 1/4 inch to clear the gas tank. I did reuse that and the torque converter i had vs a new backing plate/torque converter. You...

    First time kart owner - manco dingo

    So a touch more info. Loosened the gas cap some. Ran it up and down pavement for 3/4 of a mile nearly all at full throttle. Ran perfect. Got on to the lawn and made a turn and it died then. Something about the jostling of the ground or the turn?

    Thanks @still kikn! I got everytjing installed today. That mounting plate of mine seemed to do the trick and even a mechanical misfit like me managed. Seems to be running well. Idled for a while to "break in". Changed oil and ran. After refilling tank I'm experiencing some dying under...

    Thanks again everyone, this is great. Got the new engine today but haven't got further. The backing plate from the old engine was mounted under the engine block if that makes sense? I've pictured it below. Do i reinstall using that same piece? Thanks all!!

    Thanks again everyone. I've pulled the engine and am seriously considering just starting over with the predator 212. I don't want to spend much money to get it going but i don't wanna keep having to chase my tail either. If i went with the 212 can i reuse the parts i took off the briggs or...

    Ugh, so dumb. Thanks everyone. You were exactly right, just that one last bolt. Got the carb out and pickup looked ok. I cleaned the pickup that's in the fuel bowl and reassembled. It idled and ran under load! Unfortunately, after about 5 minutes it started doing the same thing. Randomly...

    Couple questions. Ive disassembled to this point but can figure out what's holding the carb to the tank? Also, however to the bottom bold to remove the tank? Do i have to lift the engine up?

    First time kart owner - manco dingo

    Thanks! I'm out of town over the weekend but will try on Monday. Here's to having some good luck! [edit] I got a chance to try this morning. Gapped the plug, gas in cylinder. Started 2nd pull, ran about 3 seconds, and quickly died. I just dont think its getting fuel. Im not sure how to...

    First time kart owner - manco dingo

    Thanks shinwrx. Ill give that a go tonight but i think if it fired off itll just die after running a few seconds. Theres just one screw to adjust on the carb, right? I did try adjusting it yesterday but couldn't find anything that worked ok. Also, the fuel tank has a sponge in it. Could...

    First time kart owner - manco dingo

    Hello, I picked up a dingo for my 11 and 9 year olds to use. Seems to be in pretty good shape, other than it won't run! It was running ok but sometimes wanted to die when giving the engine some throttle. It died when running and now won't start at all. I took the air cleaner off, dumped...
