Hey guys I'm so glad I found this forum I am planning on making a reverse trike from an old Razor go kart I have. it was converted to gas at one point at one point but then I disassembled it for another project. now I have a sweet manco go kart that I bought off craigslist with out a motor for $150 and restored it then put a 212cc predator on it. runs great.

gas powered razor go kart

here's mine razor ground force I think its called that. took those tiny wheels off and put some more appropriate wheels on it. also I put a 79cc kinda weak motor but it pulled me when I rode it.

Unless you plan on walking speed....(and maybe even. then) ....don't expect those Harbor Freight wheels to last very long at all.....

Big no no....but ....Welcome to the forum! !!!

yeah those wheels are junk and I was on a tight budget. But surprisingly the engine still lives. the only problem I have with that engine and my 212cc predator is that every time I take a right turn my engine dies because the gas tanks are set to that position. is there any cheap fix that I could do or do I have to buy a fuel pump?

Are you sure it is the gas?... Predator engines come with a shut-off oil sensor inside the crankcase. Do a search for info on how to remove the oil sensor, it's an easy job to do.

Disconnect the "low oil safety switch" and your problems will be gone.....

What I do is wire the low oil switch to a momentary switch on the steering wheel. Makes an easy convenient way to turn off the kart, and also a good fast kill switch for amateur drivers.
