Hi I recently bought a new predator 212 from harbor freight and I put it on my go kart that used to have one but it got messed up We put the new engine on but even when im full throttle there is no torque and it is extremely slow? I don't know why this is happening when it ran fine with the other engine?
Go kart really slow and no torque?

Your throttle is not opening all the way up.

You'd be surprise the stuff some of us might be able to see if you post enough clear, detailed pictures. We love to look for problems and point them out. Then we can say, "You're doing it wrong," and pat ourselves on the back.

Try turning the screw under that wire.
It is a throttle stop.
It may be preventing the throttle blade from opening fully like Nosandwich said.
You can take the airbox off to visually monitor the throttle blade while pulling on the throttle lever to verify the blade is fully parallel with the bore of the carb.
Or even easier... Pull the throttle lever and look at the carb. Does the black plastic thing that the linkage attaches to open all the way to the tab/tang stop cast onto the carb?
After that, make sure the pedal movement is enough pull the lever and blade fully open.
From the pictures provided. That is all I got.

The one my screwdriver is pointed at.
I believe it is the same one.
Phillips Head, so yes?
Wait they are all Phillips Heads, but the only one on the side. LOL

It runs better? Faster? More Torque?
I love a happy ending!
It was really Nosandwhich who suggested it.
I just help with pictures because he is technologically challenged.

Sometimes it's more fun to be minimalistic in your diagnosis, and sit back and watch the show.
