I have a TrailMaster Blazer4 150X that sadly, is out of warranty (1-YR) by a few days. While we had it out a few days ago, it backfired and died. I had a mechanic look at it, and you can see by the pictures the engine is DOA. Pretty sad since this go kart has about 580 miles on it. Apparently the belt that was on here shifted off the gear, crushed the engine and then shot the ball bearings around like a pipe bomb. You can see an impact mark in the picture.
I need to order a new engine for this and I am scratching my head a bit. I am assuming this -
https://gokart-shop.com/ENGINE-150cc-2000009-150XRS.htm is the same engine even though my model is not listed?
http://www.*************/PDF/Trailma...0manual_v2.pdf - shows the engine part number 1100000150G0A0. When I search for that, I get Hammerhead Performance. Now this has me questioning my next move.
1. What is the best engine I should replace the OEM part with?
2. Even though I have less than 600 miles on it, should I replace the carb? If so, is there a better one?
My biggest issue with this cart is that going up a hill, you can get passed by kids on bikes.
Appreciate the help!
