Man I bet that felt like 120mph on that lil cart! My son and I have a pair of similar frames we're going to build over the winter. I'm not sure if I'll go 420 or 301 predators yet. Your is definitely impressive and you've got more with a few more mods I believe.
did the engine fit on your frame or did u have to buy an adapter of some sort? i have a 346cc predator but it doesn’t fit on my mount right now, looking for options.
2 questions 1st. Does your front end/steering shake at higher speeds- if so what have you done to fix this. 2nd. I'm having issues keeping this same engine on. When I first start the car I put the choke on start and then have to slowly move choke towards run about half way. If I go all the way to run it dies. And when I drive it and hit the throttle all the way it start to get and go and then acts like it's going to die then have to let off throttle so it doesn't die. This whole time I have a ton of white smoke pushing out the exhaust. Maybe flooded the engine idk.
I just bought this motor to replace my 212 cc which I’m gonna put on a different frame, I just don’t have a live axle for it yet so it’s gonna have to wait until I find one
I just bought a predator 420cc motor and have a yerf dog 3202, does anyone have any tips? I work on cars but know nothing about go karts and the clutch and all the math type stuff not to sound like an idiot but I’ve never tried learning about it
Does anyone here have the possible knowledge of knowing if a predator 420cc could fit in the gopowersports vintage go kart kit? I know it’s a random question but if anyone knows that’ll be great because I’m trying to build a go kart with a 420cc on a frame like this one in the video and not a off-road build.
Ive had my eye on one of these since they built a harbor freight in my town. Ive been looking around online and I found a website that sells go-kart parts it looks kinda janky but the reviews are solid. They have a 4x4 setup for like 350 or so you just need to build the frame and add a motor.
@@yardeeknowwhoitis8144 the smaller the sprocket on the axle the faster it will go but you lose power. If it's a small kart like the one in the vid I wouldn't go below a 60tooth with a clutch or 48 with a torque converter. You may even need a larger sprocket on a bigger kart lots of variables. Governors are a safety mechanism to limit rpms. So if you remove it you could blow up the engine if you floor it and leave it there. Search removing predator 212 governor on youtube the one by redbeards garage is good I haven't watched the others.
Damn. That sucker rolled huh.

@Ian Hornschemeier 212s are awesome motors! We have two minibikes with stage 2 212s and they're pretty quick too.
That's awesome man!
Thats awesome on that thing man

Nice 👍🙂🙏
Is this stock or any extra performance parts internally

White smoke with a blue tint may indicate you are burning oil. Either u have too much oil or the engine is burning it and needs rings

They have em at go power sports for $350
@Lathen Frank not how it works dumbass
Did it have the choke on
What performance mods did you add to the engine? And Is it clutch or torque converter?
1" clutch from gopowersports
14 teeth?👀🤓🧐🤔
@@SmoogleVEVO yo
Is the engine atached straight to the rear axle or did you use some gears. Thank you.
Yes it is attached via chain to the rear axle
That thing moves. What gearing did you use? I'm guessing somewhere around 14/42?
Yes
Whered you get a 14 tooth clutch? I'm looking into upgrading to 420 chain but the fact that 10/42 is only slightly faster than 12/60 is the issue,
How many liters of gasoline does your engine consume per hour? Liters 5 per hour or more?
No idea lol
Any mods on it if so could I have the links I’m going to put one on a shopping cart

What torque converter or clutch set up do you have
Regular 1" dia clutch
What gearing are you running to achieve 60? I have a 212 with 10t clutch and 54t axel sprocket and only get 34mph. My kart is pretty heavy though.
governer?
agave 58-58 governor is still in the motor. I can feel it kick in when it reaches top speed
@@kmart014 lucky, my minibike tops out at 20, I want to remove the governor, but I don't want my flywheel to shrapnel into my leg.
@@Agavegaming my stock MBX10 goes 28. Just make the sprocket smaller and you should be good to go
@@tacticalidiot175 I'll try that.
I found on amazon 430cc 20hp for good price
Really what?
With a exhaust, cam and better compression you would have a 100 mph kart!

No. Look at CarsandCameras delorean build. They used that frame and wanted to fit a 420 but it didn’t fit.
Take the tank off might fit
With a grinder and a welder...everything fit 😁😁😁
Hi
F,en cool
So om trying to get my 420 predator to go faster it dies around 30 and i want more speed whst do i gotta do
Dies as in bog or cut out from the govner?
Hey bro where did you buy that motor from what website I need it like yesterday lol 😂 no seariously I want it
Harbor Freight

Is that a stock predator 412cc engine ?
exhuast, intake and jetting
@@SmoogleVEVO ok 👍🏻
Torque Converter or Clutch?
Matthew Reagan clutch 1”
@@SmoogleVEVO what brand/kind of clutch?
Is it stock ?
Yes, he just put a 1” clutch from gopowersports
Is this stock I don’t think a stock 420 goes that fast
Just remove the governor. Stock carb stock springs stock intake and exhaust. Just low geared
How long will motor last if you bypass governer?!
As long as you dont abuse it, it will be fine.
Hell.. he got it from harbor freight.. take it back get another one for free..
I Don't think it's tops out at 60mph! Maybe 60km!?
Lol I can promise you it’s in mph
its 420cc which is 15 hp mine topped out at 86 mph
@@nitronitor1415 it's actually a 13hp predator engine! Please don't blow smoke rings up my ass!
@@jeffnations6649 wym mine is a powerfist 15hp 420cc engine tops out at 86mph
Jeff cant you tell by the video he's going nearly 60mph? Things are wizzing by too fast for 30kph.
😂😂😂Nice video but that’s a slow 60 mph take to long to get there nice video tho bro 👍🔥🔥🔥
Acceleration seems so slow
Gearing?
Cant remember exactly but it was tall but still had good tq
Governor??
No governing
False! GPS is not accurate especially for a gocart!
So I guess all the scenery flying by is my imagination. You ever drive a car?
@@transformationproject3583 hey I’m kinda new to go kart building, do you know how to change the gears so the acceleration or top speed will change?
@@transformationproject3583 and I’m not sure what governing is
