Does anybody know of a good tire patch kit?

Anybody see any issues?

Problem: will not maintain idle Any ideas? I cleaned all the jets, fuel is new. It idles when its in choke, then if I go to half choke its does decent, if i take the choke off it dies. Thanks everyone!

Yes I’ll check, when he was off the pedal it seemed like it was closed all the way, but I’ll have to take a critical look at it. You’re right, my linkage is probably not squared away. What are your thoughts on the throttle return spring and governor rod, should I replace those too? They seem a...

“Odds are your throttle is able to close 100% which no engine that has ever existed will idle that way.” Now that you mention it, i was watching the butterfly when my son was stepping on the accelerator, I do recall it closing all the way.

✅ This gives me a plan, thank you!

Copy that, I’ll try that next!

So, another fix I need to take on is it will not idle with the choke off. I watched a video and it said to check the jet on top of the carb. We’ll see! I was told to unscrew that black knob, and lift the plastic black pilot jet up and out and run a wire drill bit throught it.

Got her up and running! Cleaned the two brass nozzles in the carb. Removed carb, removed float, unscrewed the jet, pushed down the other nozzle, brake cleaner, she fired right up! RLS, thanks for helping me! You are a good man!

Spark plugs good…

Is the coil behind the recoil starter?

I don’t have a primer. Going to do some research on the coil gap. I’ll keep you posted.

what gap do you recommend? I put a brand new spark plug in there and I never checked or confirmed any sort of gap. Thank you so much for your help

I have not successfully started it yet, I’m going to change the fuel filter and carb…what yall think?

I’m gonna nickname this kart Eleanor.

Thanks RLS, appreciate you!

Hah…so I put that silver spacer on the wrong side of the sprocket🤦🏻‍♂️….once I took the chain guard off I could clearly see the sprocket and the axle sprocket wasn’t in alignment. Now, if I can only get it to start…brand new gas, new oil, both motor and wet clutch. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Thanks everyone! I’m almost there…but the chain keeps falling off when i roll the kart forward…any ideas?

Thanks! I’m going to return the Predator to Harbor Freight and just get my Lifan 6.5 up and running. How tight should I go on this clutch? Thanks everyone!

yes, I took the wet clutch assembly from the Lifan and threw it on the Predator. So it’s a no go huh? Thank you for the reply!
