issue

So ive had this 8 horse sitting around for a while and decided to pull it out to fix it up and make it into something useful and possibly sell it. I got it started straight off the bat after resetting the needles, but it ran really erratically, which i quickly discovered was due to the...

Hey yous, I opened up an HS40 last night to say hey to the inside for the first time since picking it up and I found: 1) Two broke off fins of the plastic variety 2) One of the magnets is not glued but simply sticking on with MAGNETIC FORCE! Should I track down a new plastic fin...

when i put the mikuni choke on it starts and revs like crazy and than when i put the choke off it stalls, i need some suggestions please

No matter where I set tension, there is enough friction on the driver sheaves to run the driven. I set the driver up loose which widened the sheave gap, and it works better. Do I need a wider bushing or spacer to get more distance between the sheaves? This happened rather suddenly on a...

After putting a aftermarket header on where am i suppose to put the throttle return spring since it was hooked to the stock muffler shield?? Its a 212 predator motor btw

Yo peeps, Saturday night I got this gorgeous hunka steel going. Installed a brand new carb and cleaned points. Had good spark so I didn't mess with the timing. Prob is I can only get it to start by putting my hand over the muffler (not installed in this pic). I put a clear fuel line...

Currently have a 212cc Predator motor on a 1971 Honda CL100 frame. The tires are about 20in and about 2in thick. (Rough estimate.) I am running a 10 tooth front sprocket and a 43 tooth back sprocket. It is putting so much pressure on the clutch I completely destroyed a Max Torque clutch within...

Brand new out of the box predator 212 supposedly the newest model non hemi. Most things resemble the older version but with some differences that I'm finding. Biggest issue being I bought a rev kit from nr-racing and things don't go together correctly, way too much lash. The kit came with one...

So I have a small problem, when i start my stock 97cc baja 2.5hp engine it stalls, and when it doesnt stall the bike throttles and goes on its own. What's wrong here? Thanks!

I'm 6'1" and I try to sit as far back on the seat (because there is more padding there), but the Warrior seat just slopes too much forward and I'm constantly sliding forward. So I decided to fix the problem, and also to try and give it a softer ride without resorting to building rear shocks. So...

Hey all. I built up a 420 and installed a 34 mikuni flatslide with mikuni fueld pump and ran it at idle to break it in for about 20min (NR racing recommended). I revved a few times and then i conked out, now it wont start. I forgot to tighten the adjustment bolts on the flywheel (ARC) and it did...

Hey guys, I am in the process of restoring an old mini bike I have. I am basically replacing everything but the frame. I purchased a predator 212 engine and it fits in the frame, but it sits off to the right side a lot more than I expected. The right foot peg, which is just a little 6" bar...

So it looks like every thing will clear - except for the exhaust :censure:. I have the one that comes with the Predator Mini Bike Kit. Wonder if the ARCDJ-1138RLV Box Stock Header and Muffler set up would clear, or if I'm going to have to go custom . . . any thoughts/input anyone? I have about...

hello all, So I was riding around and the throttle got stuck. I couldn't fix it on the spot as my hands were cold and all, so I just rode home with the choke on. It think it is a governor issue, watch the video. I'm a little confused with the linkage as I don't know if a springs loose or missing...

I know this has probably been mentioned over and over again, but sorry I'm still not getting it..:shrug: I have a box stock motor with the following set up, 12t - 18t- 13t-72t....so to my understanding I have a 8.31 gear ratio... From what I have been seeing this ratio makes it a torque...

Let me first say that I am very inexperienced with motors, so please excuse any misrepresentation of information as I'm still trying to put parts and assemblies together in the bigger picture of things. My problem is I have a brand new Predator 212cc (69730) motor from HF. I'm running Castrol...

So, I purchased a new aftermarket carburator for the HS40 on my Bird Thunderbird minibike. The carb that was on it was "priming" carb, with no adjusting screws, just a priming bulb, so it needed to be changed anyway for more adjustability. I installed the new carb (with choke and adjusting...

I have a brand new Predator 6.5 HP engine that I just installed on my Doodlebug. It appears to be running just fine and I did let the engine break in for about 30 minutes. I notice when riding it I see little splats of oil on my exhaust, clutch, foot peg, and around the clutch. Now I installed a...

So I started to finally check out my old bonanza I picked up. The sprocket and brake are on the left side. The drive sprocket to the clutch is on the outside of the plate because the newer motor wasnt moved to the right enough. There is no tab on the swingarm to put the brake cable on the right...
