Predator 212 Starts Then Dies - Thus, u guys would probably say its a fuel problem? However, the carb is brand. So, it usually starts first pull, but yesterday it fired for a couple seconds and wouldn’t start after that. Seems to be getting enough fuel and spark. Oil level is good. I recently acquired a go kart with a predator 212cc engine already installed. The engine has had this problem since i got it where the engine stalls. Now when i ride it starts up great and runs great for 3 to 5 minutes, then it starts bogging down when the throttle is pressed. It idles fine but will not accelerate then dies if i give. Run with the gas cap loosened and see if it does it again. I just replaced a coil on my chain saw after testing with a spark light. This is a common ignition coil issue. The other issue is possible,. Hmm, it only starts with the choke off (cold or not) and i have to give it throttle for about 1min then i can let go of the throttle and it will run on idle for a few minutes then it kinda starts to die out. Predator 212cc keeps stalling out. Instead of removing the governor, i tied the spring that connects to it shut. Opened up a lot more power, but it only runs for about 30. Here’s a step by step process of troubleshooting this problem: Check if the carburetor is causing the issue.
