I just picked up a Kandi KD-110GKG-2 to give my 5 year old for Christmas this year.
![]() 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. ![]() 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. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 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. ![]() Assessing plate welds ![]() After lots of grinding.. ![]() Unbelievable amounts of grinding.. ![]() 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. ![]() Gusset ![]() |

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.
