TaoTao kart upgrade
Hello All,
I bought a TaoTao gokart with a gk110 engine. The engine is really badly seized. I was wondering if you guys know of a drop-in engine that's bigger or that's a 4-speed. The gk110 ran well and had ok speed, but it always felt like it had a lot of top end speed left and could use another gear. If I could upgrade to a 125 or 150+ that would be great! Any suggestions? Thanks |

Better to post some pics of the Kart and drive train, as these model numbers change all the time.

that looks to be the common pit bike/ mini quad motor. You have tons of options, full manual, semi manual, full auto like its got and ones with reverse. if you want to spend a good bit you should be able to get a 190 in there.
This is one of the site vendors, they have some options. https://www.vmcchineseparts.com/coll...mplete-engines

So I bought and received the 125cc engine.
The wiring harness on the cart has a 5 wire and a 3 wire. The harness on the new engine is a 5 wire and 4 wire. Do you guys know where I can get an adapter? |

Hey dudes,
So I've been a little busy, but I got this thing assembled. Here's the situation- There is spark. Won't fire with ether. Fuel is getting into the carb. Won't fire up. Any recommendations? |

Check valves. Sometimes out of the crate these can have valves that are 100% tight.

Yep check the valves. Timing could be off too, did you use the stuff that came with the new motor?

Yes, used all the new stuff with the motor.
I tried a brand new carb, as well. |
