Kandi 110 engine swap
I just picked up a Kandi KD-110GKG-2 to give my 5 year old for Christmas this year.
https://i.imgur.com/Z822aJml.jpg From what I'm reading the engine on these units were trash. The original owner couldn't get the stock engine to run at all so he had a 212cc Predator engine installed. https://i.imgur.com/mWZQkyYl.jpg I want to replace the predator engine with something that has reverse and electric start (including charging system). The kart already has a gear shift lever as well as key ignition. The question is, what is the best engine for under $400 for this buggy? I'm looking for something that varies speed well and is reliable. I need the engine to be reliable for 3-4 years. I'm not worried about the amount of fabrication. I've got plenty of time between now and 12/25. :D https://i.imgur.com/uVMe3V9l.jpg https://i.imgur.com/rzuMcEul.jpg https://i.imgur.com/AeGHPVcl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/vq1Oqmkl.jpg Currently I'm looking at the automatic 110cc or 125cc chinese engines. Suggestions? |
Slowly making some progress..
Pulled the engine and took the swingarm off the kart. https://i.imgur.com/zRTnP8Hl.jpg?1 Assessing plate welds https://i.imgur.com/TMowgzjl.jpg After lots of grinding.. https://i.imgur.com/vbjdYHol.jpg Unbelievable amounts of grinding.. https://i.imgur.com/tYrBIQCl.jpg Butt-weld and more grinding. I didn't trust my welding enough so I wrapped this with some tubing and welded over it. Pictures later. https://i.imgur.com/ngpCbicl.jpg Gusset https://i.imgur.com/O0PTwTkl.jpg |
My son has had his Kandi 110 buggy for 2 years and have had no issues with the stock engine. It's been a great buggy for him. Sorry don't have any experience swapping the original engine to a predator.

neat thing about it is that im pretty sure down the road you can throw a jug, head, crank n rod/piston at it and make it a 125 or 150. never measured the jug/piston on my daughters, think it was a 110, but turning it into a 150 was a piece of cake.
