Predator 224 gets a Mod 2 cam and governor removal
Installed a Mod 2 cam in the Predator-powered Coleman CT200U minibike.
Did a zero to thirty and top speed run to see if the stock rod would hold up to the added RPM?

Hey Buddy, I saw a video where you made a valve compressor tool from another tool BUT I CAN'T FIND IT IN YOUR VIDEOS HELP ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️❓❓❓❓❓❓❓❓

[@bradburton4426]

Thank you for what you are doing. So glad I stumbled on your channel. Not only do you show results of each build, but you explain each step along the way perfectly. You explain the why of each step as well as tips and tricks to avoid major extra work (string in combustion chamber). Every other mod video I have ever seen skips steps, misses footage or can’t explain why they are making the changes they are sharing. You can clearly see the time you put into these videos and your familiarity and skill with what you are doing. Thank you for taking the time to help the rest of us out.

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it. I'm happy the videos help . Its fun making them and learning along the way.

I love watching you build mini bikes. That fast top end speed is awesome

[@ilm28403]

Thanks for all of your videos testing so many different engine and component configurations. They are fascinating and they have definitely saved me a lot of time and money and have been very influential in my mini bike modification decisions. I'm a newbie with mini bikes, I just bought my first bike 3 days after Christmas from walmart. Its a Realtree/Coleman RT200, it was on clearance for $597 and was a 110% impulse buy. The stock engine was a 196cc manufactured by Tao Motor Company according to the emissions sticker. I was modifying the engine and when I took the side cover off to remove the governor I was shocked when I saw that it had a plastic cam gear. I proceeded with removing the governor and was planning on replacing the cam and a laundry list of other things but ultimately decided not to put any additional time or money in that engine after noticing some pretty significant flaws in the block and head casting. Some areas were paper thin and had what appears to be holes that were filled with those aluminum brazing rods and the flywheel has what look like hairline cracks in it. I ended up buying a Ducar 212 with a PVL flywheel that is rated at 17,000 RPM"s for 1 hour although it does come with an adjustable governor that is factory set at 5500 RPM's. The block and head are thicker and seem to be much more reinforced that any Predator or other 212 engine that I've ever seen. I bought the engine $20 from Dynocams for $202.50 which I feel like was a good buy especially when factoring in the cost that I would have spent just upgrading the cam and flywheel on my original engine. I have noticed that you typically buy a lot of Predators and some Tillotsons. Have you ever had a Ducar 212? I have heard the 224 is made by Ducar but I don't know. I would really love to see what you can do with the Ducar 212 that Dynocams sells, and how it would stack up to the Tillotson 212's that you have built. Next time you are in the market for a new engine you should definitely consider it. Can you provide a link to the amazon/ebay knockoff Mikuni carb that you use? There are quite a few different "VM22" carbs on there and I don't want to order a bad one. I apologize for the long winded comment. Keep making more videos of your builds. I find them more informative than any of the other Mini Bike channels. Thanks again and here is a link to the Ducar 212 that I just bought. You can also purchase a lot of different cams for the 212 directly from Dynocams. I'm not sure how their prices compare to other cam makers but I do know you can call them and talk to their engine builder who will give a lot of advice and suggestions based on what you tell him you're trying to do. All of that stuff is still over my head but hopefully I will get grasp on it soon. www.dynocams.com/item/212-1000/ducar212/

[@Black66]

Thanks for watching the videos. I'm glad they help you out. I'll run a Ducar sooner or later. Haven't gotten around to it yet. The Predator 224 block does look pretty much identical to a Ducar/Tillotson block. Definitely an upgrade from the previous generation Predator. Especially when you consider the 58MM stroke crank that comes in the 224. Definitely worth the extra $40 over the 212 Predator. I use the VM22 carbs because they are inexpensive and easy to tune. There are carbs that will get you more power, like an authentic VM22, but for the price, the imitation versions are a good buy in my opinion. Here is a link for the carb www.ebay.com/itm/194358544642?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649

[@PopeyesCreeper]

im working on rebuilding a vintage bike I found in a backyard.. and Im struggling to decide what brake to use.. it has a brake band but obviously needs to be replaced and im not sure if I should get a new band or upgrade the brake since I plan on slowly progressing the engine.. its similar to your doodlebug or the original mini bike you featured on your channel. its an old MTD mini bike that has 5 inch wheels.. I love your channel besides what I've mentioned above.. very clean and well thought out builds!

[@Black66]

Thanks! If you are going to end up going fast I would incorporate some kind of hydraulic disk like on the Doodlebug. If you weren't going to upgrade the engine and were going for an old school vintage build I would keep the old brake . I kept all the old brake stuff on the Azusa bike just to keep it somewhat original. That way if I want to totally bring it back to original I can.

[@PopeyesCreeper]

@@Black66 the hydraulic disk was the one i was looking to go with but im not so sure if the doodlebug would work... I've toyed with keeping it vintage as well but without the engine being original I don't have much appeal. Although I still have the original engine, just needs a few things.

[@frederickwoods5943]

@@PopeyesCreeper can't post pictures on here but I put a hydraulic disc on a Murray Track 2 without modifying the bike other than drilling 2 holes to mount the caliper bracket I made; kept the stock band brake parts. I used a heavy 3/8-inch thick rotor from BMI parts and a complete eBay disc brake assembly that fits a 250cc dual-sport; entire cost about $55.

[@PopeyesCreeper]

@@frederickwoods5943 Hell yeah nice, Yeah i was looking around a lot last night and noticed I might not even have to drill any holes in the bike.. the bike is an old 1971 MTD mini Bike, the rear mounts have a bunch of holes drilled out almost looks like it aligns with the doodlebugs.. won't be sure for sure yet. Im still very much considering leaving it stock now and buying a new frame since its so old and unique

I took it all apart and put it all back together and now I can't crank it I can't pull the Rope what did I do wrong

[@Wilson_Racing]

Usually the only way a stock rod can survive 6k+ rpms is to trim a 1/4" off the dipper so it is the same length as a billet rod dipper and wont hit the bottom of the case when the crankshaft flexes

[@Deucealive75]

He said next is the billet parts. The stock rod will never see 6K RPM.

[@Wilson_Racing]

@@Deucealive75 I can bet you it did in this video

[@Deucealive75]

@@Wilson_Racing After a quick check on a speed calc that's a bet I would take. Use 19 inch tire, 10/50 sprockets, and 5200 RPM in a speed calc. You'll get 58 MPH.

[@Wilson_Racing]

@@Deucealive75 those are never accurate. I tried using them years ago but they never calculate the correct speed

[@madness_-yg3lw]

@@Deucealive75 speed cant effect the reliability of parts and yes a stock rod can go over 6000 rpms untrimmed in the 212 at least in the 224 it my be a issue but in a 212 iv accidentally hit 7250 rpms with the stock rod and it held up but being a cast rod some will be stronger then others just because 1 can do it doesnt mean all of them can i now run all billet because i have added peace of mind that my peace of metal is at least a solid piece and has much better grain structure

[@madness_-yg3lw]

Hey black put the stock carb back on and try running it again on my 212 when i put the mod2 in my engine it gave me alot of torque with the stock carb and when i added the vm22 it killed all of its low end power and i think the same is happening to you since your not turning up very high its not really unlocking the cams full potential try a jeted stock carb with the stamped 1.3 and it will blow your mind the amount of low end power it will make and since its a stroker engine it will be even scarier then the 212 was but after i put the 26lb springs in and was turning past 7k is when the vm was needed to help support the airflow needed with the extra lift and duration past 7000 rpms plus the stamped 1.3 ratio rockers drop right in for 20 bucks it the cheapest and quickest way to make the power omb sells them for the 212 non hemi and clone engines so ik they will work in the 224 as well.... but with the mod 2 and 1.3 ratio rockers you will have 292 lift on intake and 300 on exhaust and for duration is 245 it definitely makes for a spicy little set up i would have no doubt that with the stamped rockers and stock carb it do 65 easily and 0-30 even quicker then with the vm

[@madness_-yg3lw]

Ik it sounds goofy to go back to the stock carb but with that kinda of duration and no compression the engine is actually down on power if i was you check and see if you have the clearance to run the 1.3s and mod2 with a .010 head gasket it will give you the compression to help get the most out of the mod2 in the 212 non hemi i got the mod 2 and 1.3s with the .010 head gasket running 8k never have had any clearancing issues

[@Black66]

In this video I was basically swapping parts to get ready for the next video. I didn't really want it to turn it too hard in this video because of the stock internals. That is why I left the gearing where it is. Next video is where it gets fun for me. I need the VM22 or a flat slide to support the Ratio roller rockers with the Mod 2, bigger rear gear, billet rod, thin gasket, more compression etc.

[@madness_-yg3lw]

@@Black66 hey the 1.3s will make the engine turn up faster and harder and if you give it the compression it will unlock the cam even more as the mod2 needs around 10.5:1 to optimize the compression for the cam and on the 224 with a .010 i am finding it to be around 10:1 that would be a beast of a engine that would have no problem turning the gearing you have on it now i would like to see your reaction to that power on that gearing you have now as it be a great way to see how each part effects the performance and speed as well im am just so glad to see the you using the mod2 as it is a great cam for either stockish set ups or when you put the 1.3s in it really feels like a race engine that idles smoothly and has a very awesome power band still pulling at 8000 rpms

You should see how hard I hit this one with the steel hammer!!! Check it out! Its around three minutes into the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKbKi4dmi6eGna8

[@birbornot6663]

Do you think the plastic cam will hold up without the governor

[@Black66]

I think so, but remember, any of this stuff can break. Could last years or could last a day lol

[@matthewf1979]

Isn’t the stock 224 rod a bit shorter than the standard Predator 212? I might be mixing up the new 459 rod/piston. I’d actually like to see a 224 block take the hit. I’ve seen a lot of blown off Predator 212 cylinders after they threw a rod. Just snapped right off the block.

[@Black66]

The 224 uses a clone rod Wrist Pin: .709″ Crankshaft Journal: 1.180″ . It has a 58MM stroke. 212 stuff isn't going to work. Check out the playlist for this bike . I added a billet rod to the 224 . kzbin.info/www/bejne/panLo6KQn6uVZ6M

@@Black66 Yours came with a .709" wrist pin? Mine came with a .716” wrist pin.

Black 66, Do you have a link for your flywheel holding tool?

[@Black66]

I made the tool out of an old clutch

[@24BLUEELMO]

Maybe the carb needs a tuning for the bigger cam

[@Black66]

It's jetted for a warmed-over 212. It needs more gear out back to get the cam into the optimal RPM range. The engine doesn't have the torque to pull the 5 to 1 ratio with those big tires. In the next video its getting all the good stuff.

Would valve cover be the same as a Hemi or Non Hemi cover?

[@Black66]

non

[@AIM762]

Oh I see you did plug it it was just that you set tapped it okay

[@l.a.m7645]

You have link for flywheel holding tool and 7 degree key?

[@Black66]

Links are in the description of the videos.

[@67Dimebag]

Did you make the flywheel removal too or buy it?

[@Black66]

I made it but you can buy them at GoPowerSports

[@minigang8597]

Where did you find the flywheel at

[@Black66]

Pulled it off of my Tillotson 212E/ I have more flywheel videos coming

[@naturechanel209]

Can i put the cam in without the stiffer springs ?

[@Deucealive75]

Most performance cams have recommended springs to use. The CL series cams are the only cams I know of that you can use stock valve springs with. What cam are you using?

[@str8mac842]

Would a Hot265 cam work for a predator 224 ?

[@Black66]

Yes! the Hemi or clone version

[@connerdavis2450]

How did you make your crank holder for torquing

[@Black66]

Drilled some slots or holes in an old clutch.

[@connerdavis2450]

@@Black66 ok thanks

[@spikemandan]

What lift is that mod 2 cam

[@Black66]

.2245" .231" Pretty much stock lift with a lot more duration. 245.7 Deg 245.5 Deg

[@jeffrykopis5468]

I envy you I wish I could be in the desert about 6 months a year, instead of my usual ONE. Someday.

[@jonahdelatorre4044]

Did you have to do any clearance to put the cam in?

[@Black66]
