Have ya'll seen these things? They are $200 from harbor freight with a 58mm stroke.

I've seen em, but I haven't used one. I do have the 459cc max performance engine on my go kart. I am still in the process of fabrication so I haven't tried it yet.

The pred 224 already has the 58mm stroke needed, just needs a 72mm bore to get 236cc. I wonder if this can potentially be a cheaper route to a 236cc 4 stroke. I wonder if ECCarbs will sell the remaining parts (cylinder, piston and rings) separate to complete it?

The cylinder I'd attached, you'd have to bore and resleeve it.

By the time I was done the only parts that would be a Predator are the cases and cylinder/head.

Knock the gov out right away, while changing cam.

So after all the mods + the piston and rod mods, it looks like the Tillotson 228R for $840 that can spool over 9k RPM and tested at around 23HP is a better buy?

That cam is the moderate one, there is one that runs over 9K. But, the Tillotson is drop in ready to run. I never noticed which carb it has though.

This one.

Question is; when running are you going to use the upper rpms? Turns slow you down, I put a stage 1, 6800 in my cart just for that reason.
