Hey! I just rebuilt my non-hemi predator 212cc motor after running it for a few months after removing the governor and adding bigger jets/exhaust. I wanted to really build it this time so i cracked open the case and added these parts:
Mod 2 cheater cam
26lb valve springs
Chromoly push rods (stock length)
Honda Intake/exhaust valves (stock sizes)
High comp head (14cc)
22mm Mikuni carb
ARC Billet Rod (stock length)
ARC billet flywheel (32 timing BTDC)
New stock piston
Walbro fuel pump
Now the problem im having is the engine wont start. I did get it to start once but then it died after about 2 seconds. Its hard to pull and backfires every now and then pulling the cord right out of my hand which hurts like hell! I know my cam timing is correct , coil gap is at .030, valve lash was at .003 for intake/exhaust but recently just gapped to .004 to see if it does anything. Ive purchased timing degree keys 2,4,6, and tried them all. some make it back fire even more or nothing at all. Im going to try throwing in the stock key again since thats what made it start in the first place.. i just dont know if my timing may be off because everything else seems fine. Any help would be appreciated!
