UPDATE:
I have been into this Old style HF predator motor now for 2 weeks found ALOT of parts and can even run Methanol w/the carb from ARC, so Waiting on the Billet Flywheel and top plate, and i have since bought ANOTHER 212 (stock) for this project here for my son, has gov etc.. this motor here is going on a Chassis for myself, so anyone with a nice frame PM me i like the Margay style best

Engine thats staying and i cleaned up the spindles and greased them up, looking for him a nice seat and steering wheel

Dude, that's coming along nicely. Looking good man.

With that color, you should name that kart Bruce Banner. "Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

Thanks bro,

My son Loves the Hulk so i think ill do that. lol
yeah that green is a good color, i think i will paint my
Race Kart chassis either this Red or black, Maybe Black/green

i gotta post that project too lol, I have had so much fun doing this for my son i picked up a Race chassis for myself that needs some TLC but its a decent rolling chassis and still has the Bodywork

Haha, cool. Kids are awesome. My little one is nuts for Spiderman.

I have one of those 6.5 Predator's too. Haven't modded it too much yet, but I have to jet the carb because I've got a header and UNI filter on it... plus, I just got a mikuni DF44 fuel pump to slap on there too. Probably get a 22mm mikuni carb at some point as well.

This stuff is fun. Just got a kart off of CL today too. Can't wait to hot rod that ish out as well. But it's got a Honda GC160... which there aren't many aftermarket parts for. Not like the GX engines anyway.

Have fun man. Look forward to watching your progress. That engine is looking sweet so far.

Making the Drive Out of a Cheap set of Harbor freight rims and Tires, $5

Took two wheel halves w/o the hubs Put together and re Drilled the Offset Re Used the Old hub Works Nice, This is Raw i still Need to Strip and sand the adapter and paint it black, maybe get a new sproket and Brake drum off ebay

I hope the plan is to keep the speed of that thing under 10mph, otherwise, you'll destroy those tyres (& quite possibly the rims/bearings) in about 5 minutes...

 

[Frankie813]

Yeah totally, its for the kids but these are temporary till i can get some new rims from BMI or Ebay , christmas pictures etc.. lol then they will come off and go back to HF cause you get 90days w/receipt for returns Muhahaha

 

[Frankie813]

Almost Finished

 

[Kelly Wood]

Nice work. I may have to find me one of those frames in the future... it's got potential in my world.

 

[Doc Sprocket]

it's got potential in my world.

Kelly, In YOUR world, EVERYTHING has potential. Your world is not unlike my own, too.

Stainless Steel bolts & tie rods done, Lots of fun Cutting and grinding this stuff but it worked well, and looks good.. The SS should last a long time

 

[Frankie813]

Been Busy busy @ work, and loss of daylight here because of short winter days but im still working on her, i could not find a seat for a good price for this kart so i fabricated one.. its my 1st lol.. but i really like how it has turned out. Seeing as all i have is a Arc welder, Grinder, and a High speed cutter haha Ordered the seatbelt off ebay threw that on too Painted the bolt green that holds the seatbelt to match the frame, just the little details.. also used all Stainless steel in steering and other components and hardware.. near completion now

 

[Frankie813]

All i need to do now is Mount the motor, hook up the Gas/Brake cables chain clutch and he is ready to go.. Plan on better rims/tires in the near future mainly used these just to roll it around

That's the spirit; if you can't buy it, make it

Coming along nicely
