Information on swapping a tecumseh OHH60 to predator 212

[Rlaquay]

Just bought a go kart for kids for Xmas trying to get it fixed up & running before Xmas.has the techumseh 6.0 OHH60 engine currently. for now I ordered a gas cap & new carburetor kit hoping to get it running.changed out the key switch to a toggle on/off switch has power for that and has spark,will pop with some starting fluid hoping new carb will fix the issue.if not may just do the predator swap wondering what all extra parts are needed for the complete swap & is there one website that carry’s all those additional parts needed. Also if anyone could fill me in on additional info if you know what brand/model the frame is & what size the center holes are for new rims & tires to be put on. Also what is metal adjustment piece that goes up/down right behind the power switch assuming like a choke?

Welcome to the forum. No idea what brand of kart you have there. It looks factory built, but also quite strange. Your axles are probably 5/8", but the best way is to pull the wheels off and measure them. You're going to have to pull them anyway in order to change tires. Looks like they haven't been off in a LONG time. If you can't get the engine running, a predator 212cc will bolt directly on to where the Tech is now. You might have to also buy a different throttle cable. Before you try to start it with your rebuilt carburetor, pull off the gas tank and rinse it out real good. It's probably got a lot of junk built up inside of it and could ruin your fresh carburetor in a matter of seconds.
