PROPANE Go Kart! FASTER than GAS

- Faster Propane go kart top speed increased on a non hemi Predator 212 cc engine! To really take advantage of this engine it would need safety mods on the flywheel, springs, and rod. Then, up the compression and take advantage of the use of propane efficiency on this dual fuel carburetor!
I have a second video on HP results for a hemi predator engine, this current engine is the predator non-hemi. The Hemi engine seemed to like the propane a little better. I would guess if I swapped engines on the go kart I would get more from the propane on it then.
I will be putting propane on a minibike build soon on a Briggs 5 hp engine I have built up just for this!
Propane go kart video up tonight, working on putting the Dyno video together as well will be up shortly!!!
How long does the 1lb can last?
Sweet bro. We just had a dual fuel gas and propane generator get delivered and I was wondering about propane on a go kart or mini bikes and here you are uploading a video. Awesome work keep it up
This was sweet and I'm glad I'm not the only one who screams and shouts when having fun riding
I've seen these carburetors to convert them but didn't know anything about the performance boost gains! Awesome video bro
That’s so cool.your so funny with the evil laugh 😂.I should try potato’s and ice cream.great video.
This is an all around awesome vid! Great job man!
came for the go kart, stayed for the doggo :)
11:46 me maniacally laughing after I secretly switched all go karts to propane overnight
Wow great result buddy super awesome I need to try this out to cool
Looking forward to your Briggs 5hp propane video
Remove the governer and add an aluminum connecting rod for better results. And even better than that with a new cam, valve springs, intake cone filter and an exhaust! 🏁
Nice video. Is that stock internals and flywheel? I want to try this now.
I have a better flywheel on it than the stock one due to swap for electric coils, and I'd recommend you swap springs. Running it with no load will come close to if not to valve float.
@@megoingfast Cool, will be ordering some parts now. Thanks for the vids!
That was nice the propane carburetor I like to see you do a stock predator and no e85 performance pack for e85 show us the jetting carburetor size and how to do And before run and an after run on e85 thank you 💯
Propane is substantially better at moderate to low temperatures compared to petroleum fuel or ethanol because you do not have to worry about the atomization of the fuel or the Stoichiometry being correct
If u dont smile while watching this something is wrong with u..
Just remember you've got a petrol camshaft, you'll gain more power again grabbing one for propane. 😊
Where do you get a regulator like that? I have been seriously thinking about trying propane out on my mini bike for a while.
Amazon, searched 1 lb propane regulator
Hmmm yes yes... but how to we lift off into *s p a c e* Also if u want you can pull over the engine to tighten that torque converter bolt, ive done this a few times just putting the wrench to the bolt and turn over the engine a hair or more gets it tight 👍
I had that exact same model go kart, I dont know like model name or number but I remember havin that sticker on the floor pan. I unfortunatley was informed by my dad amd uncle of a friend of theirs who had a go kart just like it without a roll cage, he was riding around an empty parking lot. He didnt see there was a chain blocking off this one section and it caught him at the neck and he and the go kart flipped with him under it and afterwards hed been paralyzed from the waist down. Thats why I got rid of it, I could have made a cage for it but I didnt want a flimsy cage
What is the go kart called?
Good show Bucky
There must have been something wrong with your octane set up with this engine (carb jeting, timing, compression ratio ect.). In all seriousness propane should never out preform it's gas counterpart. The molecular structure alone is proven to be less powerful when complete combustion occurs. Now I'm fully on board with it being less expensive (not by much in some places) and cleaner burning and because it is being used in a small engine most people wouldn't notice a difference (the ones who don't really know their engine and how it preforms on any given day)....but on paper and lab tested propane is an inferior hydrocarbon to octane fuel, so is butane and methane...but fantastic video. Oh and to the individual that stated propane is better in cold conditions obviously hasn't ran much propane at high demand volumes, nor have they encountered what happens when propane gels and liquifies at low temps.
I got a propane setup for a 13hp honda been thinking of putting on gokart....😁
Cool! I wonder how far you could go on a bottle. Same as a tank of gas?
After 30 minutes still had a bit left in the bottle, but it was starting to freeze over. Wanted to keep going but had to start editing footage 😆😆
@@megoingfast Nice. So you could tame a couple bottles and go for a long-ish ride then I guess.
@@bwxmoto It would be easier to carry than extra gas too.
This was my main question. I'm thinking a chopper style tricycle. With gas prices like they are an living in a rural area. I have an electric bike but a tricycle I could have a small bed to load goods in.
Your king of the G.B.s
Cool IAM going propane.... already done on boat motor and generator.....
You have to dyno this!
Working on second video with Dyno results tonight and tomorrow morning!! 👍👍👍
@@megoingfast awesome! Here’s a sub for ya!
Need a domed piston or a milled head for propain to shine.
Have you or anyone tried to use map gas?
How does intense heat in an aluminum block make any sense.. map gas ain't even that popular for anything no more I feel like it would just melt your head/valves
Hahaha hahaha potatoes and ice cream
Where do you get the propane carb
amazon, searched dual fuel carb
Natural gas is fun too
Now take the governer off and see how fast she'll go....you wont be disappointed...
👍👍
Will this work with a 80cc bike engine?
Yes and no. The carb is for a clone size engine. The 80cc has different size studs. A few adapters needed. The regulator can manage gas flow and it's opening the diaphragm with vacuum pull on the tri-fuel carb. It should pull needed amount of gas, but, the carbs don't bolt up the same and air gap spacers would need to be customized. The 4 stroke engine will have no oil issues. The 2 stroke 80cc will need an injector system. Very difficult to manage.
@@megoingfast ah i see
@@megoingfast with a propane change the engine should cover epa standards.. but what about adding stage 2 kits to it? So you think will still work with propane?
