I have a go kart with a predator 212 engine and as soon as i start it, w/o pressing the gas it accelerates. I was thinking i need to replace the clutch. Any advice on what to do?

Well is it idling high? What type of clutch do you have? Did you oil the bushing every 2 hours? What kart do you have and what is its gear ratio and tire size?

Yep, everything's better with pics. And bacon, you can't forget bacon.
And you definitely want to oil the bushing on a centrifugal clutch. I had on lock up once and take off.

The first thing I checked was the idle and i lowered that all the way down, but it still accelerated.

Yeah that's probably why my kart is in essence, a direct-drive kart.
Given from the much rednecked stuff on my kart, the clutch may have never been oiled.
But, yeah.
