Both the 212 and 224 are great and I’d probably be happy with either. I wanted to use the 224 for this build because it was brand new at the time. It’s definitely quick

I removed the internal gears it’s 100% gov deleted

Yea they are on the frame about halfway of the front door. A bit far back but it made the shot look better. Thanks for looking out 👍🏻 I always leave the jack in place as a third hand even though most weight is on the stands.

All brands need brakes serviced.

They are definitely worth it! Best of luck on your search.

It was some tired black vinyl originally. I used a Moss motors interior kit to change it to brown. Definitely fit the chrome bumper and blue color better that way.

@@trevormillar5469 I think so too, the brown gives it much more charm. How expensive was the kit?

@@SwitchedDreams they sell it for $2,299 now so I probably paid a bit less than that 4 years ago.

@@trevormillar5469 Oh alright. Thanks for answering, cheers.

Thanks! The tourist trophy exhaust is one of the best sounding for MGB’s I think

Yup, stock carburetor. Just remove the fuel bowl and replace the jet.

Yea the kit I bought was a 212 one, exactly the same valve spring design between the 2

Bridgeport/Hardinge

Peck tapping, you can add a Q valve to the G84 line. Just how they do it here.

​@@trevormillar5469didn't look like there was any tool engagement

@@one_eyed_pete2462 yea it looks strange but it’s thru the .035” wall. These flow drills use special roll form taps, you don’t get chips really.

​@@trevormillar5469I didn't know that, I've seen some guys do it but it never really clicked with me. We'll run drills with a g81 and I'll change it to g83 and put a q value to the radius of the drill. I know I've been told a few times they can peck a tap but I never really watched or knew how.

@@colewealthy8006 this is the only place I’ve seen use it between 3 shops but it definitely helps with the longevity of taps. Not all machines like the Q on the G84 line but you can also just use multiple Z depths on different lines. So no Q just z-.1;z-.2; z-.3; etc. neat trick!

fr?

They are like an upgraded 212. The problem with small engines is they have to meet emission standards to be sold legally so they are always underpowered from their true power from the factory.

It handles great. It was a kids kart so unless you were 4ft tall you couldn’t ride the thing. It now comfortably handles people from 5’8” to about 6ft max. Caster and steering speed are much more important than wheelbase for handling.

I had to get creative with a grinder

It still rotates 360 degrees? As long as you aren’t hitting a valve you should be ok

Stock 224 with 26lb springs?? The springs will make it hard to start.

Injection pump is mechanical. Only needs 12V at the fuel solenoid to run.

what pump is it?

Loosen the bolt that holds the throttle arm down, it’s too tight so it’s binding.

@@trevormillar5469your a life saver

Mobil1 10w-30 synthetic

@@trevormillar5469 thanks but you think castrol oil is good 20w-50 I think the person I got it from said that

@@floridaboytay that would work well too. These engines just use a skimmer on the rod end cap to splash the oil around. Any weight oil would work even if the manufacturer recommends either 5w-30 or 10w-30 depending on how cold it gets where you’re at. In Florida you can use that thicker oil but I’m in NY so I need thinner oil.

@@trevormillar5469 ok thanks for your help very helpful🙏🏽

Much better than the French rubbish, 2.0 HDI

93 octane but it can run on anything down to 87 I just mostly have 93 on hand.

They are definitely some of my favorite cars. It’s great that you share something in common with them!

Haven’t calculated the actual numbers but it helps both acceleration and top speed compared to a centrifugal clutch. Worth it 100%

Comet 30 size. Manco 5959 / Comet 203589. .75” wide by 27 1/32” long

No problems yet. Plenty of revs and burnouts

your cool

Right off the block where the stock oil pressure sender goes. I just replaced that with any 1/8-27 NPT oil pressure gauge.

@@trevormillar5469 so the car won’t read oil pressure anymore but you will see it on the gauge?

@@tristenoberlender9685 so if you kept it in the VW yes, but this engine ended up in a YJ wrangler.

Me 2 did you fix it?

@@trevormillar5469link is bad can u send another

Not really, kinda lean and sounds not so good actually.

​@@NubsWithGunshow can you tell it's lean?

@@daxfitz Listen when it revs. It's not coming back down right away sort of winding up higher. That is one sign anyway.

Comet CVT clone. Amazon has tons

there’s a video by ratherbwelding that shows how to bypass the governor and it has the new method of throttle linkage in it. i just did it today on my 212 and it works very well.
