New to the Gokart scene

[Raven210]

First of all thank you for the approval to the page ...... Now, I just bought a what I have found is a manco super Deuce or a regular Deuce... it has the tecumseh motor but im having problems with the mechanical brakes and want to upgrade to hydraulic and change the motor to a predator 212cc or ghost. The motor has a different carb and is a pain to get it dialed in because its missing the linkages

What’s the carburetor it has now?
What’s the problem with the mechanical brakes? Needs pads?

I think the OHM120 is a 12 hp engine so it would behoove you to replace the engine with a similar engine and not a smaller one like a 212cc (6.5hp). That is a big heavy “kart” (more buggy than kart) so it needs a more beastly engine to move all that weight.

Aside from that, I am a big proponent of fixing what you have instead of loading up the new parts cannon. Fix it first, learn, then upgrade later on down the line.

An engine upgrade would be a 420. Those brakes are rebuildable. Welcome, the nurse will be by with your meds in a few minutes.
