It's on the wrong side.

Painted the tie rods black. Also painted the center of the steering wheel yellow. I turn the steering wheel upside down I think it looks better that way.

Just got my new engine and fuel tank for the kart. It's a 196 cc box stock, ported head, hi performance cam, 22lbs valve springs, bigger carb, rapp header, arc billet rod, pvl flywheel. Should be fun to drive.

Never looked at the smaller ones close enough to know if they had the fuel tube level gauge on the back.

It does the tank is kind of small but it fits in there good. Not sure on how much run time I'll get out of it.

If I could find the info in the Predator manual I could give you a rough estimate. Just can't remember which page it's on.

Found the info finally, ironically it was on the cover page. Anyway, the 212 at 50% load runs for 3 hours on a full tank at 9/10 (0.9) gallons. So at full load, which I'd include mini bikes and go karts, it'll run for 1 1/2 hours. So you are looking probably around 45 minutes of run time at best. That's considering what it's going into and that it's also a modified engine.

Some updates on the kart. Get around and painted the wheels black. Came out OK I did my best to try to clean and sand the wheels. Also installed the clutch. It's a Noram racing clutch. Installation went good.

Looks very nice. I'd run with the current tank and see how much run time you get. Worst case scenario, you buy a larger tank. But man they are asking a lot for them 😑

I am not copying you but I have a yellow Dingo already and it will remain yellow...and I have black wheels too. Honest!

Can I pick your brain on the brand and color of the paint you used (yellow, duh, but the actual name)?

Sometimes the paint can take weeks to really cure so if you're seeing durability issues a day after painting, give it time.

Fine work here and great engine choice. The Hive Mind always picks the engine du jour but variety is indeed the spice of life.

That's awesome it's a great color combo even my car is yellow with black wheels lol.

The paint and primer I used is by rust-oleum. I got it at Walmart it's the only yellow they had there but I also seen it at Lowe's and Home Depot.

Did some work on the seat that I got from go power sports. Had to modify the seat frame to fit the new seat. I use 1''x 1/8 thick metal I got from lowes. I used it to make my brackets to hold the seat. Did a test and fits great. All I need to do is paint the seat frame. I also app not to use the seat adjuster I find a very flimsy and I like how the seat sits lower with out it.

Kart is finally done. It's a real fun to drive. Engine sounds lumpy and screams when you hit the gas. brakes are OK for being scrub brakes. Kart turns great but that has lot to do for being single wheel drive. Not sure what she will top out yet I don't have enough space where I live and a very short street, any guesses on the top speed. I used the speed Calculator and got 45mph, I think it will do that. Overall I am happy how it came out and had lot of fun do it. Thanks everyone on forum for there help.
