Ok so I bought this engine about a month ago. I finally got everything right with my clutch and all on my go kart and the engine cranked Everytime first try. I drove it for about 5 mins and it turned off on a sharp turn. I unplugged the oil sensor wire and it still will not crank back up. It's getting spark. I tried pouring gas in the carb and still nothing. What could it be?
212 cc predator 6.5 hp engine will not start
Check the push rod. It might be bent. If its not moving at all when turning it over your cam may be broken. Is the left (exhaust) rocker still moving when turned over?
Then check your compression also. I had one motor that the valves were not sealing(no compression) and would not start. Is it spitting fire out the carb or even trying to fire?
Check your pull start . The screw in the middle might be too tight or it might need lube.

Eh.....yes. I have the air filter, 140 e-tube, #37 jet, and no governor. I have a billet rod I was going to put in today.
My brother was riding it and it just lost compression and died. Haven't been able to get it back started since. I checked valves closing and opening, checked push rod, that are strait, the springs are worrying as they should. I really don't know.
