The HL-304WXG Tillotson Carburetor is a high-performance 1-inch bore, 0.890-inch venturi carburetor designed for Limited Modified OHV Kart Classes. Originally engineered for Briggs Animal and Honda GX200 engines, it is now a perfect match for the Predator and other Clone engines (196cc-225cc) with intake valve sizes between 26-32mm and camshafts with 275-330 lift. Capable of supporting engines running up to 8500 RPMs, this carburetor is the ideal upgrade for kart racers looking to get more power without the high cost of custom, professionally machined carburetors.


Key Features & Benefits:

  • Perfect for Limited Modified OHV Kart Classes – Ideal for kart racing enthusiasts running Honda GX200, Predator 212, Tillotson 196/212/225, and similar clone engines.
  • High Performance at an Affordable Price – Designed for racers who want to take advantage of Tillotson carburetor technology without paying for high-end, custom-built carburetors. This carb offers consistent performance and reliable throttle response.
  • Optimized for Mid-Range Power – Designed for engines with 26-32mm intake valves and 275-330 camshaft lift, making it ideal for engines with a powerband around 8500 RPM.
  • Fuel Efficiency & Throttle Response – The carburetor features a 1-inch bore and 0.890-inch venturi, providing excellent fuel atomization for improved power delivery and acceleration.
  • Recommended for Karting – While the HL-304WXG is excellent for competitive karting applications, it is not recommended for recreational builds due to its high-performance design.
