Ghetto Engine Build... running?

[ColeWWWeb]

Ok so a while ago I posted about this engine I was cobbling together from some parts. A week ago I got the Mikuni, oil, and sparkplug, and today I got it all prepped and ready to run. I didn't have a pull cord or fan shroud so I just used a rope I had and jigged it onto the starting cup... I stand on the engine with one foot and yank that rope, and it starts then chugs; I pull the choke, and boom it's running, I pull the spark boot with some zip ties, and boom the engine stops. So... I have a video attached, and I'm wondering if it's supposed to sound like this, it has the following:

Stock 212 Head + Rockers + Rods + Lifters
Stock 212 crankcase
Honda 200 Piston Head
Stock 212 Connecting Rod
Stock 224 Cam
28 Lbs Valve Springs
Knock Off Mikuni 26mm Carb
Random Gas Tank
Stock Flywheel, but no serious running until Billet
Stock Spark Boot
NGK Sparkplug
Stock 212 Exhaust

Any help is appreciated! Plz don't mess w/ me about the dangers of ungoverned engines, I know them and I know the risks, and the engine will not be running more than a few minutes at a time until I get a billet flywheel and rod. Thanks Guys

What were your thoughts in calling it a "ghetto" build?

None of it is torqued to spec, and there are no gaskets, i start it with a rope, and its bolted onto a pocket bike with a single bolt. lol

Great work Cole! yes, Sir, that is what they sound like when you first fire them up.
SERIOUSLY???!!!! NO GASKETS???

its also running SAE30 instead of 10w-30 so idk how that affects it, but ill be switching back over to 10w30 once i get the gaskets

That oil should not make a difference. Once you get it mounted you can tune it to run better. I'm impressed you got it running from a basket of parts. That is what we old guys call a "Basket case." Again, nice job.

How did you make a 68mm piston work in the 212's 70mm bore?

I seen that too. It's only got 2mm piston to cylinder wall clearance, it'll be fine.

I forgot I actually used the stock piston from the 212, i was going to use the honda but yea it doesnt fit. sorry for the confusion lol

 

[sparkwizard]

So many parts, so little time.....

 

[sparkwizard]

I think I might still have some parts from the '70s and '80s that didn't quite fit.

Lol. I give you a, thumbs up. At least you got it back together and running, that's an A+ in my book.
On your next one, learn how to check some of those
important clearances. You will see how much better a properly set up lil motor will run. Taking drag, and resistance out, makes em snappy lil boogers.
