Predator 420 Golfcart engine swap

In this video I take out a clapped out briggs engine out of my golfcart to throw some horsepower into it!

Hey lib j. Did you have to jet up the carburator after you took off the air box ? And did your adapter come with one? Mine idials a little high

[@LilBJessup]

I did have to rejet the carb, well actually I went with a whole different carb that was more tuneable. It was just a Chinese knock off on amazon for 15 bucks. There is a spacer, but it doesn't come with the kit from gopowersports.com. The high idle is most likely due to one of the air passages being blocked without the spacer. This is the link for the spacer that you will need if you have a predator 420 or other engine of similar size. Good luck! www.amazon.com/Stens-485-189-Carburetor-Spacer-16220-ZA0-702/dp/B001OK9VE6/ref=pd_bxgy_img_2/144-0092019-7677378?pd_rd_w=MTj6C&pf_rd_p=fd3ebcd0-c1a2-44cf-aba2-bbf4810b3732&pf_rd_r=8GSSJ25Y4ZKKHDJTSSYM&pd_rd_r=87038eaf-7a0b-4be5-a18a-48281c15f50d&pd_rd_wg=anuzc&pd_rd_i=B001OK9VE6&psc=1

I’m working on a 420 golf cart- how does the fuel pump work? I’m not getting any gas

[@LilBJessup]

by vacuum from the crank case

[@breanarichardson4996]

what all did you have to move around to get the engine to fit im doing the same thing with my 91 ezgo and i have a 94 rear axle im putting in, just hoping i can get an idea of where things are going to have to go.

[@LilBJessup]

I didn't have to move anything other than the old motor. I did however have to put down a new engine plate

[@jimsnider3971]

Is there a golf cart and go-cart drag race video in the future????? And will it pull a wheelie? So many questions!!!

[@LilBJessup]

With the gearing that I ordered, I don't even know what will happen. The parts to finish it will be here the 15th. So a little bit of time, but anything is possible!

[@kevint1734]

Awesome video. Question, are you using an existing gear box to be able to use reverse? Or did you have to add a gear box?

[@LilBJessup]

Don't quote me, but I think all golf carts use axle gearboxes. I just used the existing one and it works great!

[@kevint1734]

@@LilBJessup thanks!

[@scootersonlyrepair6773]

@@LilBJessup not true. . Mine has no reverse. Same engine. Ezgo marathon cart.

How did you hook up your battery to keep it charged??

[@LilBJessup]

The predator 420 has a built in charging coil. I just wired it up like it said to do in the manual. I haven't had an issue with the battery loosing voltage, but also my led lights are very efficient.

[@bennettbritton4029]

How’d you make the rear spring/bar so the engine will move with rear end?

[@LilBJessup]

I used the existing mount and just welded a universal engine mount plate on top of it.

[@rogerfield7985]

Neat!

Yo quiero un motor de esos!

Harbor freight!!!
