    New guy from Louisiana - resurrecting my old Dingo 285

    Yes, I got it running. It would have made more sense to swap in the Harbor Freight engine, but I wanted to see if I could get the old Briggs & Stratton running again. The metal fuel tank was so bad that I replaced the carb and the tank.

    How is the inside of the metal gas tank? A metal tank without corrosion is becoming a commodity.

    We need more details. Can you describe the symptoms? Does the engine rev up, but the vehicle speed remain the same? As if something is slipping. or Does the engine bog down when the accelerator is pressed? Does the engine sound like it is struggling? or Does the engine sound fine, but does...

    Nice! 1. Did you have to do any fab work to mount the engine? 2. Did you reuse your original torque converter? The cutting off issue could be the low oil sensor. I’ve heard it should be disconnected because of all the bouncing in go-carts.

    I think the engine mounts need to be modified to fit the predator on a Dingo. I saw a picture online of someone who had to raise the engine by an inch or so, in order to get everything to fit. if I come across the picture, I will post it. Also, the new engine needs a backing plate on the...

    Can you post pictures of your carb? Including the pickup tube. Also, have you purchased a new diaphragm? It’s easy to access- behind those four screws.

    New guy from Louisiana - resurrecting my old Dingo 285

    My Dingo 285 has been sitting in the barn for almost 20 years. I noticed it the other day so I drug it out and started working on it.
