Murray go karts questions

[gmoore6550]

I have these to go karts. Both made by Murray. I need the clutch v belt drive. But also need help to figure out how to run the gas cable. Sense I put a harbor freight predator engine 6.5 hp. The other one I need to figure out how to get old clutch off the old engine. Help appreciated.

Those are heavy duty karts. Good quality....
All the questions you asked can be answered by using the search feature on the forum. We have numerous threads about throttle hook up, with pics. The belt, can't remember off hand, so you'll have to measure, I'll post a link to the belt thing shortly. It will tell you how to measure, and then what belt you need.
For the clutch removal, try a 3/4 pickle fork. Works every time. Unless you mean a the tc driven. Well, you can use a pickle fork for that too.....

My Predator I got for Christmas (I am sure they are all the same) came ready to hook up a throttle cable. There is a 1 screw clamp between the air filter and gas tank to hold the cable conduit and then a barrel clamp in there too for the actual cable.
I had the same worry about what I may have to buy and then wait for shipping, but it is almost like that motor was factory go kart throttle ready.

Which bolt does the cable bolt in to to make it go. Also which hp do you have?

This is on a 6.5 HP Predator 212. There is a little arm there coming out from under the air box. Should be a bolt with a hole in it, loosen up the phillips screw on top of the bolt. push the cable into the hole and tighten down the screw.
I see you also have a 79cc predator. Don't know about that one.

I hooked mine up the same way I think. But it controls the turtle rabbit thing. Not the accelerator. Pic below.

Yes. the turtle rabbit thing is the throttle. I almost forgot. THIS IS IMPORTANT...
You need to attach a spring to the "turtle rabbit" arm. to return the throttle to turtle when you let off the gas or your throttle will stick wide open.
Pics to follow. I just wanted to quickly tell you this for safety sake.

Here are the pics of my throttle return spring. I also have one on the pedal. For safety and this is my kids kart I have two. I drilled a small hole in the handle and ran the springs to the shroud and a bolt under the tank.

Thanks. "Chancer". It's working.

I have another question. What are the back mounts on the back side of the motor mount plate? Pic below.
