    Predator started having low speed idle issue

    It's the same carb that's in the video. I don't mind not knowing what I am doing and still getting it right, but I feel a lot smarter when I get it right because I know what I am doing. Thanks for the video though, that's good stuff.

    Predator started having low speed idle issue

    I took the carb apart and cleaned everything, that did it, thanks! I wish I knew more about what I was looking at in the carb:scooter:, but glad it's running good again.

    Predator started having low speed idle issue

    I have a 6.5 predator that has six months use on it. Today my son and I were riding like we do every day, we had about 3/4 or a mile on the ride and when I let the gas off to take a curve, the engine idled up and down like it was trying to keep going, and stalled. Now I can start it, but at...

    Moving up to bigger bikes

    Move to a smaller town where you can ride your mini around town, like we do:scooter: I wanted to get a real bike one time, so a trusted friend of mine, who also wanted to sell me his bike, sold me on a 1600 cruiser as the best first bike I could get. Don't do that, too big to start with...

    is it hot or is it me?

    It's been 100 to 110 here.. and dry, about normal. Best time to get outside is in the morning or after 8. I moved here from upper Michigan four years ago, going from 70 in the summer to 1oo and something was almost unbearable at first!

    Building first minibike

    I like those tires, probably could pull through anything. On a firm road, with no suspension, I wonder if it feel like riding a washboard?

    Building first minibike

    I have a six inch asuza kit coming in Tuesday. I don't mind getting my hands dirty, I don't mind doing things myself, and I don't just buy sh**, either. I'm really looking forward to putting my cheap predator engine in that frame, building it, and riding it. Good luck with your build, and I...

    WATER-TRANSFER DECALS Tecumseh, Briggs & Stratton

    These decals are fantastic, would it be a crime to put them on a predator? They look so much better, and at least I could imagine that I have a cool engine instead of a predator!
