How to build a Street legal 4 speed go-kart with a predator 670 part 2. MG roadster

[@LazloNQ]

With the fuel delivery issues solved, I'm sure it'll be a good engine for you. You should watch Robot Cantina where Jimbo pushes an old french car along the Kansas country side at a good clip. For your setup, I think you could probably get away with a 1:1 drive. With 1st gear winding out that quick, you can certainly trade some of that rpm for speed. Jimbo uses a heavy duty torq-a-verter setup and I think either going 1:1 with your current setup or going with the 'verter setup would make you a much happier camper. Thanks for sharing!

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

Thanks ,I'm very familiar with robot cantina.

[@fm9572]

Beat me to it.

[@DannyWildmann]

​@@ChrisfromKeyfarmalso there's allot that you need to do to get the predator to run right for this application. You need to take the governor off, also you need to change out the carburetor set up. Like op said Robot Cantina shows how to do that. Just thought I'd add this information because you can get more power outta that engine. But you will have to do some modifications to it to get the performance that you're looking for. Don't give up on it. If it was my car I would of found a Honda motor cycle engine for it.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

👍

[@offgridmanpolktn]

​@@ChrisfromKeyfarm Hey me again, your car is old enough that a bottle of the STP oil treatment might make those shifts a little smoother. And just a thought, your centrifugal clutch looks kinda small, maybe a higher ratio heavy duty racing kart could help?? ✌️

[@brianlubeck4184]

A King Midget would be right up your alley, that car was powered by a garden tractor engine to begin with.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

I've seen that King midget that cars and cameras has It's pretty cool but I wanted to stick to something that anybody could find if they wanted one. MG midgets are very cheap and plentiful on marketplace.

[@LazloNQ]

@@ChrisfromKeyfarm You can't touch a King Midget for hardly anything less than 3500 so that leaves a lot of cash on the table to get your MGs fixed. You're right...they go for cheap - nobody wants them.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

👍

[@mundanestuff]

I'm interested in liter class motorcycle engines in Midgets, as it's more natural to upgrade the horsepower than downgrade them, and the motorcycle engines are lighter than the cast iron MG/BMC/Triumph blocks (especially the 1500 Triumph block that would have come in your Midget originally) and usually more horse power than original. And if you're careful with how they're mounted, and get the right engine, you might have a sleeper, 120+ HP engine in a car made for 60. As for the indicators/signals, my 77 Midget is also de-bumpered and de-indicatored, I that includes the side lights and front indicators on the face of the car, and used headlights that have multiple lights in them, like LED bulbs and have the yellow ring around the bulb as the turn signal. Works great.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

I'm in Kentucky. You have inspired me to try something similar. Cars and Cameras got their hands on a 4 cylinder military diesel. They made a wheelbarrow go cart, but that kind of motor might be awesome in something like the Midget.

I am thinking that as well or even the Predator 459 seems better with a lot of aftermarket parts and they're cheaper to work on.

[@justin_time]

[@99milesaway41]

I would definitely keep the 670, they might be temperamental in stock form, but they have so much potential, twin Mikuni carbs will unleash a lot of power. Other than that though, I really like what you're doing, I even like the idea of building one myself one of these days 🤙

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

What drives me crazy about the Predator 670 is it already cost over $800 and then you have to put several more hundred into it to get it to run right. Thanks for watching

[@99milesaway41]

@ChrisfromKeyfarm I hear ya, they are expensive to build, either way though, can't wait to see the next video, I'm really enjoying the midget

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

I'm not sure if I will but if I do sell the Predator 670 I do have a twin cylinder vanguard in the shop that I believe can run right with a new carburetor.

[@99milesaway41]

@ChrisfromKeyfarm well, whatever you choose to do, is entirely up to you, brother. I'm just here for the ride 🤙

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

[@aaronsearch1189]

I really enjoyed the build. I have built. Four golf cart projects for me, my brother and two of my cousins. Two have Predator 420cc engines and the others have Predator 670cc engines. I like the 420cc better in every way. I think your Midget would be more driveable with a golf cart style primary and secondary clutch set up. It would give a wider range of speed and power between shifts of the transmission. When i first did the 420cc conversation on my golf cart, i used a cheap 40 series primary and the stock secondary. The performance was terrible. A Comet 780R, a CV Tec secondary and a G Force belt made a world of difference. Just food for thought.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

Those 780 torque converters? Are those the ones that cost about 600 bucks I don't even like torque converters and I can't see spending that for one I mean I'm sure they work great but man that's a lot of money.

[@aaronsearch1189]

@ChrisfromKeyfarm yea, i think i spent $1200 or so on my CVT set up. A good clutch and secondary make a really big difference in performance. Don't tell my wife how much i spent on them though. Ha ha

[@CMFL77]

I agree - there are tons of small engine options out there that would probably be more fun to try than a Predator!

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

Thanks , it seems the solution with the Predator is to dump many more hundreds of dollars into it to make it a great engine.

[@weldeddaydreams]

You make some good points about the Duromax vs the Predator. Why not go twin Duromax? You might have to get a little creative with the packaging, but you'd have a much better final result, and some redundancy to make it home on one engine if you needed to for whatever reason. You'd also have the extra torque divided between two clutches, so the 1:1.5 - 1:1 gear ratio that you need wouldn't be a problem.

[@Pedroisanickname]

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

I got some floorboard but I'm definitely going to have to add some metal before any passengers feel safe lol 🤣

[@rick14377]

If you ever ditch the 670, try a Harly engine. They make a lot of low-end torque and sound nice. But if you do keep it, use a 40 series torque converter. They are heavy duty and can handle a 1:1.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

All good ideas , I don't really like torque converters though. Thanks for watching

[@hillonwheels8838]

The 670 can make some awesome power but I don't know if the money it takes to make that power is worth it for what you are doing. I'm sure you have seen Cars and Cameras drag rail, they have a tone of money in it and it always seems to be on the verge of blowing up. If I were to do this I think the twin carb kit on the 670 is a good all around performance to price if you can sync the carbs so each cylinder gets the same air fuel. I would like to do this conversion with a 10hp single cylinder air cooled diesel engine.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

I have seen a couple of other channels do some really great stuff with the 670 but for me it's just not worth it for the money. A dual carb kit at the bare minimum is $350.00

[@hillonwheels8838]

Dang didn't know it was that much. I just looked at the single Mikuni kit from go power sports and it is a bit over $200 which is a bit painful this time of year. What ever happens I'm watching what you come up with.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

That carb kit has a bunch of add-on parts you need to make it work.

[@diydarkmatter]

thats to bad i had high hopes for the 670. any way god bless buddy i really enjoy your experiment's.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

Thanks, always look forward to your comments. 😁👍

[@coyoteserranomusic]

Wicked! I have a predator engine that I got and have an old Mini Cooper that I want to stick it into. It has a torque converter on and I'm curious how to install this. I'm pretty sure I don't need a shifter correct? I just don't want to install it and then the vehicle drive away LOL

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

I run all of these engines to the manual transmission and shift them

[@jakelords24]

Predator 459 is a good motor to try. Easy performance parts for it too

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

I have one on the monster truck , it's been pretty reliable.👍 Thanks for watching

[@matthewd478]

really cool concept. There are tons of these old chassis that are just sitting rusting away that could really use some new life. Any idea what kind of mileage this is getting? I'd be curious to know how efficiently it's running.

Every problem associated with the predator 670 is always fuel delivery.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

Fuel delivery, let it set a minute crank it back up and go again.

[@rquest3059]

​@@ChrisfromKeyfarmdoesn't seem like a practical engine to use.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

Some people add electric fuel pumps and it solves that problem but to get the most out of the engine you need to whole different carburetor set up and you can spend $1,500 more dollars on it if you want I'm not sure I'm willing to do that.

[@jester2720]

Why not have the 2 engines face off with a few performance parts added to the one to see if can close the gap and run as fast as the car with the 670?

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

That's a possibility but first I have to get the Predator 670 to at least perform as well in the lighter car as the 18 horse does in the heavier car

[@jesusischrist1527]

I went with the 20hp Briggs and Stratton 656 vtwin on my rat rod kart and as long as you keep an eye on the oil it does great ... Sometimes the " bigger name brand " suggestions isnt always the way to go but instead the actual lawnmower engines with the right mods can be even better because they are literally built for high torque applications and though they tend to top out around 4000-4500rpms - thats with the governor , the 656 vtwin still has 20hp stock but its got over 31 ft pounds of torque and its built for turning heavy steel blades for a long period of time in the heat instead of the oredator go kart motors being built for higher rpms but having less torque and definitely a lot less durability ... You should just do like i did and turn a B&S 20hp vtwin into a sideshaft engine for less than $40 and , a lot of your performance parts off the predator 670 will fit onto the B&S 656/676 platform ... I'm running an old school high performance 15 tooth centrifugal clutch , 40/41/420 chain with a 60Tooth final gear on a 120 lb gokart frame 😂 and im waiting for the new ignition switch and 42 tooth rear sprocket to get here tomorrow but even with my 60 tooth rear sprocket and 12" tires , im still pushing around 55mph - wide open and NON governed of course 😂... Im hoping to get around 65-70 out of it with the 42 tooth final gear but who knows maybe more and if i can find another 36 tooth final gear for it im sure it would hit 70 no problem haha ... Well still a cool little car and hopefully the next engine you put on it will work out a little better for you ...

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

That's all good information if I sell the Predator I do have a twin cylinder vanguard in the shop that needs a new carburetor.

[@jesusischrist1527]

*Hey Chris* Check out your brother from another channel *Jimbo at Robot Cantina* worked the bugs out of the Predator 670, and could run over 65 mph before the suspension got too squirley on his Renalt sedan. If he can do 65-ish with a Renault, you can with a Midget, easy peasy, lemon squeasy *TLDR* you'll need to do some; carb, governor, charging work and eliminate the compression release on the cam. Hope this helps.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

I am very familiar with robot cantina , it's a great channel. Not sure if I want to put that kind of $ into this engine

[@AlienLivesMatter]

Longer exhaust length will improve torque at lowe rpm.

[@randall1959]

I never knew a centrifugal clutch would pull that much weight. Tinkering is half the fun keep it.

The rating on centrifugal clutch should be more tied to the load that it's pulling versus the power going into it

[@davedavey7464]

What centrifugal clutch did you use?

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

14 tooth Noram style from eBay 1 " shaft size $40-$60

[@AwCreepCreep]

I would say get the duromax 999 to put in there, but I think it has a bigger shaft and I'm not sure there is a clutch that will fit.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

So the thing about this is getting these cars moving for cheap that's why normally I use anywhere from a $150 motor to a $400 motor The Predator 670 does cost more but I already had it The 999 cost $2,000 for that I could put in a real nice MG engine which would defeat the purpose cost wise of doing a swap. My goodness for $2,000 I could put in a vortec 53 and just build the car back around it.

I'm curious if the Duromax 713 or 999cc are better than the Predator 670. Personally, I wouldn't bother with the Predator 670 after watching some of the other channels that use them. It is a engine that is always needing something, especially the Cars and Cameras 670 dragster.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

That's a great idea but none of these cars came with any exhaust you will be happy to know that on the green car I ran flex pipe down to a tractor muffler that's underneath the car and it's much quieter.

[@theoverlanderutv2747]

There is a lot you can do to make that 670 run properly. No disrespect, but it's not wonder you don't feel happy with it, the way it sits. A proper fuel system, carb and exhaust to start, would make a huge difference. A cvt would help a lot too. Give this engine a chance. if you're into it, check out Robot Cantinas's channel. You vould learn a lot there

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

I really enjoy robot cantina and watch it often. What I can't get past is the other engines run great straight out of the box with almost as much power for half the money, this one cost twice the money and then you have to add another $400 worth of parts to make it run right.

[@darwinskeeper421]

After watching this video I tried googling the engine you put in the MGB, I'm not that familiar with small engines and put in Duramax. After learning how to spell DuroMax, If you decide to get rid of the Predator, you might try one of the V-Twin Duromaxs, either the XP23HPE, which seems like a DuroMax equivalent of the engine you're using, or the the DuroMax XP35HPE, because a little more power is nice to have. If the Predator has made you leery of multiple cylinders, you could try the DuroMax XP20HPE, Its pretty much like the XP18HPE with a few more CC and allegedly 2 extra horsepower.

[@ChrisfromKeyfarm]

I appreciate you looking into that, I have looked at some of those Duromax twin cylinder engines and they get quite pricey as far as the Duramax 20 horsepower it has the same amount of torque as 18. I'm thinking about perhaps just modifying one of these Duramax 18s that I like so much.
