Hi there,
I have installed a torque converter kit, air intake, and exhaust on my predator 212 for our coleman mini bike. We also installed the new jet into the carburetor (stock) that came with the kit.
After the installation we could not get the bike to run unless we had it at full throttle and also had the idle tightened so much that we cant even give the engine any throttle. Once running there is about a quarter inch of pull we can give the throttle and thats it.
It runs like absolute garbage now. Is there any suggestions as to what we need to do? I know it is most likely a fuel/ air issue, but not sure what other adjustments we can do besides the new jet installation that we have already done.

Thanks in advance!

Here are links below to the kits we have bought if that helps.

You may want to make sure the emulsion tube is in the carb and not laying on the floor somewhere. What if it fell out while you weren't looking and you put the jet in by itself?

You could verify it's in there by removing the filter and looking into the venturi. You should see the brass tube sticking up from the bottom.

Until you get it to idle properly you may want to do all your testing with the back tire off the ground or the chain off.

Did you buy it from OldMiniBikes warehouse? They have a help section called the
Grey Goat Garage, ran by Mr. Eric Adams. He is quick to respond, VERY
knowledgeable, and has helped me out several times.
