So I swapped the old predator engine on the go kart with a brand new predator 212.
The engine started right up and we ran it about an hour and a half yesterday. Today it started up, was driven down the short driveway and turned onto the street... died. Never to start again.
Here is what I’ve done:
- checked ignition switch
- plugged/unplugged oil sensor
- placed in choke and run
- verified the spark plug is getting spark
- verified the spark plug is not wet
- no oil in airbox/filter
- ensures it’s getting fuel
- drained fuel
- checked carb float and pin
- jets are clear of any debris
- replaced fuel with new fuel and Stabil
I may have missed something but I don’t know what else it could be. I’m very frustrated because I’m not mechanically inclined and is why I bought the new engine versus trying to fix the old. Cost was another factor.
I really appreciate any guidance and help in advance.
