    BT 200X Predator 212 Stage 1 - Need Help

    Removed the carb, inspected it inside and out, nothing wrong... BUT... behind the carb is a black plastic mount which holds the fuel line, and exhaust hoses. There was a gasket in front, but no gasket in the rear. It looks like it came from the factory absent a rear gasket. That is, if there...

    BT 200X Predator 212 Stage 1 - Need Help

    Okay, I replaced the spark plug, it was covered with carbon. It isn't an oil related problem. It's burning rich and emitting black smoke, and the engine struggles to run. I did run it without the muffler. I'll add the additional spring as you suggested today or tomorrow. The carb will be coming...

    BT 200X Predator 212 Stage 1 - Need Help

    Thanx for your comment. It was running fine before and after I installed the Stage 1. The accumulation of carbon or burned oil is excessive and after I cleaned the plates and started the engine all 6 plates were completely covered again within 3 or 4 minutes of use. I suspect it may be oil which...

    Needing recommendations on chrome plating

    How about a powder coat chrome finish. It looks very similar, is less expensive, it's durable, and you probably won't have a long wait to have it done. Try powder coating.

    First Minibike & Engine Swap - Need Help

    Instead of removing the factory air box, installing the adapter, and then adding the filter with the Stage 1 kit, could I simply leave the air box intact, remove the top cover, and factory filter, then install the Stage 1 filter with a suitable clamp to the air tube that the factory filter was...

    First Minibike & Engine Swap - Need Help

    Apologies... It appears that I may have been wrong in my assumption that a header pipe was necessary for the installation of a USDA approved spark arrester. The stock muffler comes with a removable spark arrester, though it is not USDA approved. USDA approved spark arresters are available from...

    Didn't have anything to secure it to for a test run so I decided to make use of the bike's mount and riser plate. Tilted too much, yes. I'm going to buy an upright stand tomorrow which will solve the problem....

    First Minibike & Engine Swap - Need Help

    Yes... And they can seize your vehicle as well. Returning it could take a considerable amount of time, but that would be the least of your problems if your off road vehicle caused a fire on Forest Service, BLM, or state land...

    First Minibike & Engine Swap - Need Help

    I always prefer to assume the blame when anything goes wrong, especially repairs. But it may have been a combination of oil sensor related and fuel line problems. There could have been a manifold leak as well which I wasn't able to detect. My fault, the manufacturer's, or a combination of both...

    First Minibike & Engine Swap - Need Help

    I think your diagnosis is accurate. The new motor which I purchased would not start while resting on the kickstand so I maintained it in an upright 90 degree position and it eventually started. Letting the engine idle I allowed the bike to rest on the kick stand and within minutes it shut off...
