Hi , My dad and I just put a New 212 predator engine in my cart. It really works nice going straight or left , as soon as we try to go right it dies any thoughts? The oil is full and new. Not over full.

It could be the oil sensor, my backyard has a lot of bumps and if I hit one hard enough or did a burnout, the engine would instantly cut off. I removed the oil sensor on my 212cc and I can now hit burnouts. I would remove the oil sensor carefully, do what normally cuts the engine off and go from there. :thumbsup:

Just unplug the sensor... cover the lead going back to the gold box...
Alternatively, you also use the relay as part of the kill switch, wire a momentary switch inline to ground..

That engine has a "low oil" sensor. When you turn hard right, all the oil in the reservoir shifts left and the oil sensor "thinks" there's no oil in the engine. So, to protect itself, the engine shuts off.

Near the engine on/off switch are some wires. See attached image for how to fix the issue.
