Manco dingo 285 5.5HP ohv go cart

Another one of my dingos, named the "pride cart" because it is purple. This is the newer of the 285s. it has an updated frame, sports a seat belt and is supposed to have a full cage. Like the path winder, it uses that OHV Tecumseh motor, though this one seems to run better. It also has a different carb than the path winder, which apparently is good for 0.5 more hp? sure, why not.

@Mijaycapri79 whoa easy there capri, it's not too hard we'll get through this.

you can use any, but all you need is a SPST. connect the middle lead to ground and the other lead to the ignition. when you open the two, the engine will run. when you close the two, the engine will not run.

@thegenrl On mine, It doesn't have that red switch on the engine... It just have a One wire switch with a connecter by the carb and my switch is the switch that takes the one wire and screws it into the switch. I took the switch plate off and all it has is a bearing ball which turns the switch on and off... its a weird one way switch. It doesnt have two wires only one. Any help?

[thegenrl]

@Mijaycapri79 hi again. the switch is probably self-grounded, meaning one leg is already connected to ground (go cart frame). the other leg is connected to the primary of the coil, which is probably the only wire coming out of the engine. this way when you close the contacts of the switch (switch the motor off) the primary of the coil grounds and stops the spark from happening.

I love the invisible roll cage

@Mijaycapri79 if your kill switch broke just tie the two wires together and that will hot wire it to run and when you go to shut it off just either un tie the wires or unplug the spark plug wire that will shut it down
