Predator 212 golf cart upgrade and top speed, 28 mph?

- In this video I upgrade the coupler where the 5/8 input shaft connects to the rear end splined input shaft. I also put on a smaller sprocket to get the most speed possible, it's pretty impressive, all things considered. There was one unexpected problem at the end.

I think I’ve found my next project !!
Let me know how it goes.👍
Who made your rear set up that attaches to the rear end
For that piece you will need the splined nose off of the old electric motor and a jaw coupler, if you have those two pieces any machine shop can weld them together for you and make it straight for not much money. If you don't have the old motor to cut the nose off of, you can use a 13/16 bore coupler but you'll have to file it just a little bit to make it fit on the rear end input shaft ( drill a divot) for the set screw. I've done it both ways, the first mentioned works best.
For your bungee cord fix, install a large heim joint. Will allow the engine mount to move up and down, and it can twist to handle when one wheel climbs over something or drops in a hole. That's how I did mine.
Cool thanks
Torque converter clutch would fix that that low end
The golf cart actually has a torque converter
Where can I buy those pillow shaft bearings?
Pillow block bearings, simple eBay search including the size
Thank you Chris,
These are always fun videos
Have you looked into the stage 1 kit for the 212 on eBay? Mine went 30mph with 2 350lbs of weight with a 10 tooth.
I know the different kits give you more power, I don't really have a desire for that, but that 420 with electric start and a charging system would be cool. I know you can get that for a 212, but it's cheaper and simpler to just upgrade to the bigger engine if you have room.
Cool video Chris....I have same engine on my 3 wheel ez go cart runs great....my question is I current run 10 tooth on engine and 14 tooth on rearend....stock golf cart tires 18x8.5x8....im going to put bigger tires on the rear 22x11x8 so I think that 14 tooth going to be to big on the rearend....what should I drop it to? 12 tooth maybe....thanks Steve from fla
If you keep the same radio with a taller tire, it'll go faster, but have less power on the bottom end, so if you want to keep the same amount of" power " on the low end, you'll need to go bigger on the sprocket being driven.
Still has restrictions in the exhaust
I need to re-route it with a straight pipe
I'm impressed! You need a sponsor.
Increase the drive sprocket ⚙️
I played with different sprockets in one of these golf cart videos
Come and fix my golf cart, it been siting there for 12 year. Just needed new batteries lol. Nice work !!
LOL thanks for watching
That was great , thank you for the video
2 pc locking collar solves spacer issue, you can change springs on torque converter and clutch for more variables sometimes they eat belts if alignment is off .. Gods Speed .great fun .
Ah cool, your right, with the two piece collars I can put them on without removing the shaft, I appreciate it, thanks for watching.
I enjoy ur videos. If everyone had ur positive attitude the world would be a better place.
Where did u get the piece that goes on the rear axel? Part number?
Are you talking about the splined piece? It was the nose of the electric motor that came on the cart. Or a different piece?
@@ChrisfromKeyfarm my wife picked up an electric cart without the motor. She wants me to convert to gas. I need the piece that goes on the rear axel to ad a shaft with a sprocket. But it sounds like u used the electric motor to slip.on the axel spline
When I first converted it to gas I put a 13/16 jaw coupler on the input splines and locks it down with the set screw, it worked, I just thought this would be better, I explain it in the first video, I'll post the link.

Harbor freight should give you a few predator engines. There's a proper way to "set" a set screw. Tighten the screw then loosen the screw, do it a couple times before the final tightening. It should allow the screw to "set" into the shaft.
Im going to try this on the minibike I'm building, thanks for the tip.
The bearing in the housing can’t take side load move bearings to both sides of chain
It has 2 bearings, the shaft would have to bend before pressure is put on the housing bearings, besides cars and cameras put 20+ HP straight to the input shaft , no bearings.
Even 25 is pretty great for a old electric golf cart. I usually pass those up. Not anymore 😉
Cool
weight came out of track. take it apart get red springs .
Unfortunately, it had more problems. Thanks for watching
I got it back together, it had the bushing lodged in the hole, and a broken compression spring.
FIRST! I think...... cool project, like the vids 👍
I was told by a cop that typically a gps is + or - 2 mph so if he’s correct you either went 26 or 30 ! Lol. Did you buy stock in Harbor Freight ? Lol
Hahaha, no stock in harbor freight yet, but if they would sponsor a Predator 670 in the tractor, I'd be there best spokesman.
