Advice wanted

So as I have this Kart taken apart, I am going to replace the Engine with a 212CC Predator engine and am debating if I am going to replace the brakes with a hydrolic brake system from BMI.

Since I have pretty much no idea what I am doing, as I am not a mechanic, I was hoping for some advice. The brakes on it are shot. I believe that the original owner stored this Kart outside for a couple years so everything is rusted and pitted. Going to take a lot to get this thing right. Any advice would be appreciated.

Since you're upgrading the engine, it would be a good idea to revamp the brakes. If you really look at the kits, it's not that hard to do, and if you get stuck you could always call them for clear instructions. ABout the rusting and pitting are you referring to the frame? BTW welcome to the world of Go Karting, it's how you learn to work on these things.

I was thinking of the hydraulic but I'm worried about how it would need to be modified and not sure I have the experience or know how to do it. I'll have to put some thought into it. I finally got it disassembled so I'm going to bring it to get sand blasted and powder coated. There is a little rust, but not sure how bad until it's hit with sand. I was going to post some Pictures, but I can't figure out how to do it at the moment.

If you disassembled it, you should have no problem installing the brakes. As for the pictures , You would need to upload them to your image host , Photobucket,Imageshack, copy the direct link from there and when your replying or creating a new message, click on the above button IMG [ img]MyPhotoLink.com/whatever.jpg[ /img]

the most trouble I see you having is mounting. but only if the mounts are different and need to be modified. after that you would just hook up the line and bleed them. that is for hydraulic brakes.
