The same goes for dusty areas, as was the case with me. If you plan to drive in wet areas though, consider a cover for your filter to protect against water getting in. I wouldn’t worry about the quality of the cone filter here, high quality filters aren’t worth much on a go kart engine. Pretty easy here, just pick up an air filter bracket and cone filter. You need to allow more air into the combustion chamber, add more gas, and allow more exhaust out. If you know anything about making cars faster, it’s the same principle. My first priority was to make my go karts faster. The numbers of other engine parts will be similar. Because I decided to buy a Predator 212 engine, that’s what I’m going to base my information on. I was attempting to make these upgrades on a very tight budget so I made sure to find the best deal and the most options I could find before making a decision. Through that process, and various other fixes I’ve done, I come up with a list of parts and tweaks that can be done to improve your go kart and not break the bank at the same time. The ~$100 dollars you spend doing that will come back to you in savings on the parts you buy. If you have an engine as I did and the aftermarket is sparse, you should really consider replacing the engine. If you already have a common engine, you’re in good shape. If you’re able to find parts, which I was in some cases, they’re going to be 5 to 10 times the price of parts that fit onto Honda’s, Honda clones, and Predators.įirst, you really want to know what engine you have and make sure you have something that’s upgradable easily and cheaply. Granted, they are workhorses and extremely reliable and well built, the aftermarket is just not there. One of the main reasons I opted for a new engine was because I previously had a Robin/Subaru engine. I opened the engine before I even ever started it. I drove it the way it was for a few months at the end of the first summer I bought it, but over the winter I bought a new engine and immediately tore into it. That pretty effortlessly translated to my go kart as well. My need for speed is endless, so I’m always on the hunt for ways to make my vehicles and toys go just a little faster.
