Thank you Madprofessor!...its one thing to do dumb stuff yourself but watching kids do it will check those habits right dern quick!Gotta teach em.

Lol.Yeah,thats what i was saying about the 18lb springs,The stock springs limit the motor summat-as far as balancing that by starving fuel with a stock carb-never thought of that! Learn new tricks everyday sir!

Until the rod comes out the side.then back it off a turn.

Yea,the younglings agree!

Thanks!

You built the motor?

If this is indeed a predator 212-you may STRONGLY consider ditching the electric start and getting a billet flywheel/con rod . The stock springs are 10.8 ish lbs and limit the rpms to around 5k with no governor.If the motor has no governor,with 18lb springs AND a "performance cam"-well....Ive...

Lmao +1 on the slack-tightened my kids throttle cable ,he drove it 1 lap hit the kill switch and told me to fix it.I was like"Holy crap that looks fast from here" while i was walking back after the adjustment......yeah it wasnt just my imagination.lol

Alrighty,so I joined not long ago with a question about breaking an ARC bolt.Here is the kart in question. Build Deets- Predator 212 Hemi base Oil sensor/Gov/Gov sprocket delete ARC flywheel/ARC rod-stock length .010 steel head gasket,head /block lapped 22lb springs,DynoCams CS grind .265 cam...

Looks like break in oil maybe mixed with fresh.Does the engine run good,my dude? Def put fresh oil in it,but if its running good no panic.You say " built".Whats in it?

Having come un-assed from an ATV many many many times the danger part...not so fun as it looks,but the rest ,absolutely! I have been slung,pinned,rolled and thrown on my noggin so hard I couldnt walk for a week(concussed and twisted the vertebrae right above my tail bone-"ragdolled" the kids...

Juuuust in case any one becomes suspicious of me....bolts were delivered early!

Imma be honest 90% of the time it dont get anything except put back together after blowing off with an air hose whatever got touched up with sand paper **more honest-99.5% of the time.pretty sure I used graphite once.

Folks are MIGHTY SENSITIVE about ARP bolts

No sir, not me...not in this motor😃

Wait I missed the boat completely on that one-the insinuation is that the BOLTS WERE JANKY.Glad someone else said it,Im not brave enough to besmirch ARPs "custom made for ARC" bolts.

You say clutches?Is it a torque converter or simple clutch? Im not familiar with the kart.If its a TC,check the engagement, is it stuck?Clean it up.This is assuming the idle isnt jacked sky high lol. https://www.bmikarts.com/Trouble-Shooting-Guide-Clutches-TorqueConverters

You Absolutley will cause eyeballs to twich ,beer to be spilled and possibly small puppies to be kicked if you so much as SUGGEST that someone,somewhere definitely absolutely not me has another cart running with GRADE 8 bolts in the rod cap.Its not possible,it wont work,and now you have started...

Lmao.IN/LBS you. Absolutely IN/Lbs.I have 3 different Torque wrenches,the clicky IN/LBs is half the size of my clicky FT/LBs and not even remotely similar to my tension based dial wrench.

Indeed.I do pretty well,not wealthy but well enough to have the hobbies I have and support 3 kids.I would say "and a wife" but Hell even though financially I make more,she runs the roost lol.Plus,she works as well.But I agree,hobby machining/welding,reloading,electronics-not stuff to dabble in...
