It probably is, but you should definitely consider the Harbor Freight motors instead, if you're in the USA. The predator 212 is THE standard go kart and mini bike motor if you're on a budget, and Harbor Freight quite often has a bitchin 20% or 25% off coupon you can use to get the price of a Predator down around a hundred bucks. Parts are plentiful and cheap as well.

Here it is at Harbor Freight

Here it is on Amazon

Got it. No two engines are alike, then? Is there any conventional engine for the karts at commercial/theme park tracks?


In a lab setting, I've been looking at this engine on Amazon. I can't feasibly own a go-kart where I live, but I could reasonably store and run an engine in a lab setting.


So, to answer your question-- it would be between this or, preferably, any engine that is commonly used at commercial tracks.
