If I get home this weekend I will post up some more pics.

No pics but I did mount the 2nd Predator on the other yard cart. I also picked up a Dingo for $150 bucks. It fires up with starter fluid but will need a couple things like a deep carb cleaning, fuel line and a vacuum/vent hose. It has one of those POS 6hp Tecumseh engines.

COOL!!!! I like Tecumseh engines!!!

Funny thing is...I have a 5hp on my kart...and I'm using a 3.5 on my build-off bike!

BTW....Don't be too surprised if a "deep cleaning" fails....the good news is replacement carbs are cheap.

Well I guess one can hope. I think the main problem is the guy replaced the fuel line with some large automotive rubber fuel line. He kept the same routing and I believe the line is pinched closed between the block and fan shroud. I can't get the line to pull in either direction. I think I am just going to mount the tank up higher to the back of the seat or headrest and reroute the fuel line for easy access. All in all I think I got a decent deal. It looks way better that what other people think $150 should buy.

Here is the bent up $150 Dingo (I got it running today and it runs awesome), the yard kart with the through the tube live axle and my space saver stand made out of scrap 2x4s. We put the stand in the bed of the truck and can haul both carts plus all our camping/weekend gear.

Hey Pal, some of us like big pics, OK?
Now get over it.

Yes, I agree we want more & bigger pics.

Here's the thing, thumbnails can be made bigger, massive pics can't be made smaller so, if you use a phone or small tablet to view the forum, large pics take forever to load... besides, thumbnails is Robert's (admin) preferred method...

Well, you are just firing on all 8 cylinders every time. You don't mess around much.

If you find yourself bored once again, unscrew the three screws on each Predator's recoil start assembly and rotate the housing counterclockwise until the pull cord is oriented towards the back of the kart--then re-insert the screws where the holes line up.

It was designed to be this easy in order for the engine to accommodate all kinds of installations. The 212cc sticker will end up cockeyed but who cares, right?

That's when you place a DIYGK sticker on there to make it right.
