Carter Engine Swap

[Zombient68]

Heyo. Long time no see! Some of y’all might remember me. A lot has happened since I last posted here. Graduated college, got married, sold off all my go-Kart stuff, etc. Now that I’m settled down, I found this for $50. Needs work obviously. I’m just curious who’s done engine swaps on these before? I want to say it’s a Carter Talon 150?

Funny, I just saw an ad for this exact kart that is setup for a Predator. It basically said they had flipped the sprocket and installed a new mounting plate.

No kidding? You happen to have a pic of it? By flipping the sprocket, do you mean the whole axle itself or just move the sprocket to the other side?

No idea what it meant, sorry.

Looks like they did a 180 with the entire axle. That’s a possibility though. I’d have to set up a jackshaft and rebuild the brake setup. That helps, thanks!

No idea if it really works like that, so measure carefully. I don't see where he expects to mount the engine, but then again I've never seen a Talon in person.
