    Will a GTC TAV limit RPMs on a fairly modified Predator engine?

    Hi all, My son and I recently built an Asuza Minibike using a predator 212 engine. We've modified the engine a fair bit and have had good success (so far) with a GTC Torque converter (we know we are exceeding specs with the modified engine) We have the standard 72 tooth rear sprocket, and...

    Valve springs

    I have the 212cc predator clone and recently installed the OldMiniBikes stage 4 hemi on my DB30, the kit doesn't come with upgraded valve springs. It has the mod 2 cam and I can't find any 22 lb springs to turn 7,000 rpms. It is floating the stock valves. Can someone point me in the right direction on...

    Low budget, stock RPM Predator Hemi mods for boat "mud motor"?

    Hi all, I realize this site is dedicated to mini bikes, but it is by far the best resource for modifying Predator engines. I'm a motorcycle mechanic and fabricator and will use a 212 Predator Hemi to build a longtail boat mud motor. It's nice to see how affordable these race parts are...

    Comet 30 Series Torque Converter

    What does switching the clutch springs on the driven pulley do? The stiffer the springs are the higher the rpm range is. But what is it doing differently? Shifting at higher rpms or engaging the drive pulley at a higher rpm? What's the benefit?

    Is there a Way to Get a Little More RPMs Without Removing Govenor?

    I'm running a Predator bone stock for now and I am wondering if anyone has found a way to adjust the governor to allow just a little more RPMs. Any ideas?

    Adjusting GC160 governor for reduced RPMs

    I put a GC160 in a new go kart for my grandkids, and the max speed is a little too high for my taste. I suppose I could limit the throttle adjustment, but that would also restrict the power at slow speed. Is it practical to adjust the governor to limit the the max RPMs to a lower value? If...

    Heavy Shake at low RPMs

    Doodlebug with stock 2.5 is shaking pretty pretty hard during takeoff and midrange. When I take off on bike it shakes pretty hard until 15 mph then it smooths out. Seem a bit more than just regular mini bike vibration. Haven't played with anything except the long govener screw
