Is a wide coil gap better on a Predator 212?

As everyone heads to the garage to gap their coils.... Very interesting

[@mindovermatter3988]

I've noticed this before on my 225 when I had set it at .30 to .35 thou on the coil Gap, I opened it up to .75 thou & that's solved all my high RPM breaking up issues

[@carnivorecave]

The coil primary wire to the plug...I have done this on a Hammerhead go kart...From the coil take solid core wire uncoated...One end make a ground connection to the engine block...Then start coiling the solid core wire tight one layer to about one inch from the end of plug...Then wrap insulation tape or elec. tape to cover exposed wire...When I first did this the spark was much more intense than the normal spark...Brighter, defined, more horse power...This simple mod may make a difference...Try it and see if it works then do a video on it...

Yes Master, now I have to go to garage and play with coil gap, until I get top results😅.

[@Octagen69]

I’m going to try this on my 236cc Tillotson road course kart. Any top speed gain will be a great advantage.

[@giffy5775]

Didn't say which fuel or timing key. I believe that flywheel is timed for methanol with a straight key. If it's on gas the timing would be too high so more gap would retard the timing for more speed. ARC has factory specs for timing and coil gap that are pretty much right on. Also, I would get a pair of racing gloves and shoes that cover your ankle.

[@milesallen5590]

To me it seemed like the closer the gap the more acceleration you had.

[@rykerinthewild1155]

Dumb question, but it's .060 inch right? Like on my feeler gauges I'd be the inches part I'm looking at right?

[@tmscam5115]

Ya it say 0.60

[@kylecrites972]

Will this change timing at all? I put the arc in my motor and that think kicks back like a mule. Took if off put the stock back on works fine triple checked valve lash all is well its the timing from the flywheel

[@Black66]

Yes the ARC has 32 degrees built in compared to the stock flywheels 24 degrees give or take

[@kylecrites972]

@Black66 but will increasing the coil gap help at all with the kickback at this point i can't use the arc

[@Black66]

@kylecrites972 Its still going to light the fire at 32 degrees . If your not going to use the ARC, to be safe you could use a cast aluminum flywheel without the glued on magnets. They have much less timing built in.

[@kylecrites972]

@Black66 ya I ordered one my next build I'll iluse a timing key i guess

[@mitchellgrenier5619]

Thanks for your information on the coil Gap I had good luck and bad luck

Another great instructional video bro. You should find you an old greyhound motor and compare it against the predator. I had a greyhound given to me and got it running and now it's on my doodlebug holding up strong

Great video, was wondering, have you done any videos on timing yet?

[@davidmalone8565]

Diesel set up or turbo experiment please!!! Great video as per usual sir!!!

[@kevingoon2747]

If you use this settings on the 10k rpm aluminum flywheel would it perform the same.

[@Elijahhuckaby]

Love it man

[@Strict30]

Good stuff brotha

[@srcobra50]

Seemed it struggled a bit from 57-60 when it was set to 30 thousands but looked a little stronger from 0-20. Cool video 👍🏽 Quick question. I have a 79cc predator that couldn’t run WOT without choke. Tried 2 new stock carburetors and a pz19 carburetor and even jetted the 19mm but still had the same problem. Any idea what is causing that? It just bogs and dies when given full throttle without choke

[@kentsugden6865]

Things I'd pay attention to first: good fuel, good carb gasket seal, clean air filter, correct spark plug gap, good contact with spark plug boot, fuel lines of appropriate size, enough height difference that fuel makes it to the engine, proper flywheel/coil gap. If none of that works, you might have gotten a lemon or it's worn out enough that it doesn't have good compression. I'm not a mechanic though, so maybe you'll get some better ideas from others

[@kentsugden6865]

That's all the surface-level stuff I can think of. I'm assuming the engine hasn't suffered any catastrophic damage from running without oil or something. I hate to waste a salvageable engine, but those 79's are cheap enough that it might save you some grief to just get a new one.

[@srcobra50]

@@kentsugden6865 thanks a lot for the help. Il look into that stuff and hopefully figure it out.

[@srcobra50]

@@tyler9463 thank you. I got rid of the stock carburetors and still have the pz19 so il check that one.

[@TOXIC-hb7rc]

Does the engine idle without the choke on? Sounds like you have a vacuum leak somewhere, also read your spark plug that will let you know if your running too lean or rich.

[@randydanger7992]

I just watched a video saying the new ghost engines are rpm limited by the coil. The video said it's printed on the coil itself. I have a preditor 212 hemi. I am not sure it's true or just a ghost thing. Do you have any coil recommendations or do you run a stock coil. I was just going to upgrade my plug wire not the whole coil. 7mm 0 ohm wire solid copper core and lower profile boot. Does it matter in your opinion. If wider gap .080 made a difference this might . Thanks!

[@randydanger7992]

Also I like that fuel tank you have ! Did you modify it to mount on your front tank mounts ? Do you mind sharing where you got it from 🙏

Yes it is true. Watch this video on the ghost coil and flywheel swap . Also check out the Ghost playlist for many videos with the Ghost kzbin.info/www/bejne/op6Zq4esna97ic0

With all the testing of the different combinations of parts I think it would be a super cool idea to do a full blown "Ultimate" mini bike build starting from scratch with a goal of 0-30 less than 3 secs & a top speed of 75+...

[@Xclusively_Average]

How do you fix the vibration when i ride it vibrates so much

[@tonyalto1014]

Getting the coil further away, causes less magnetig drag on the flywheel. .080" is probably max distance or close to it, before you lose too much spark energy. Pretty cool experiment! Thanks for running that test!

[@slowmissouri205]

The magnetic drag factor makes sense when you put it like that

Maybe you can help me i have a tillotson 212 and when i first start it it takes a few cranks when i start running it say around the block then come back turn it off. Then wait a minute or so and try and turn it back on it will not start even when i have choke on. Could it be timing if any or gap between ignition coil. But when i finally get it running again it will sometimes bog out when i give it gas. Hopefully you can help. Love your videos too.

[@charlotteblack4693]

Yes!

[@N.Hodgson]

You ever had issues with the slipstream coil gap to close? Under .05 would it give no spark? I’m having issues with spark on my 200 hisun. Wondering if I burned my coil setting to close. I didn’t realize they needed that gap I had set mine at .035 I get spark occasionally but if I gap it that far no I get nothing. Assuming coil is bad now?

[@christopherflannery1770]

What if you went with 100 thousandths?

[@mitchellgrenier5619]

Continue the big gap started making a short out to the ground terminal on the coil did you have any experience like that

[@SpACeCruizeR2o3]

id keep her at 60 just for heat and friction purposes lol i wonder if my ducar pvL flywheel will like the 80

I'm betting it doesn't like 80

[@anthonyh.1512]

What gear ratio are you using on this bike to make it go that speed?

[@GoodFellasMiniBikez-GFMB]

I would say a 265 cam with 22lb springs is a good choice for around $60

[@prisonbreak1166]

How do you know if your predator is a hemi or not? I bought a fly wheel and now i fear it won't fit the shaft

[@D--5]

One easy way to tell is the hemi has a cast aluminum squarish valve cover and the non-hemi has an octagonal stamped steel valve cover like a stop sign

[@evilbeetlekustomscreations4965]

How do I remove the old valve guides on my Flathead Briggs & Stratton and put in the new valve guides I got a 10 over alcohol breathing flat head at the valve guides are toast and is there a way for me to regrind the seats without having the tool using sandpaper?

[@tonyalto1014]

Not really man. You need a good solid fitting pilot and a trued grinding wheel on an arbor or a carbide cutter. Good news is, you can buy a small engine cutter set for only 60 bucks nowadays. They have the pilots, and 45 degree seat cutter. Plus they come with 30 and 60 degree cutters for narrowing/moving the actual sealing area on the seat. Make your money back by doing 3 angle valve jobs for your buddies. :)
