Let me start by saying that i have spent some time researching and reading your site (and reading the rules).
My kids kart that I got them through some recent bartering a while back has finally died. The stock subaru / robin 169cc 6.5hp motor was done.
I know it would have been really easy to rebuild that motor, but the mods were few and far between for that motor. I insted purchased a Predator 212 hemi. The kart that I am putting it on is relatively heavy being a full suspension, two-seater kart. It wasnt bad before with the stock 6.5 motor on it, but i wanted to make it a little faster and more fun for my kids. i decided to order some modifications for the predator, and have reached the point where i dont know if I should be done, or continue with the mods. As a car guy, I always want to modify everything. As a father I want to make sure my kids are safe, and the kart is reliable so I see lots of future smiles.
Mods that I have purchased:
New Predator 212 Hemi
Arc billet flywheel
Arc billet rod
Mikuni vm22 carb.
billet aluminum intake manifold
k&n filter
long 3 stage race header
comet 20/30 series hybrid
removed governor
before I put everything together and get it running and dirty i want to know if this setup would be pretty good on a kart setup as i mentioned earlier. i am not concerned with this kart having a high top speed, I just want quick and reliable.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations.
BTW: The kart is a Manco Silver Fox
