Predator 224 versus Predator 212 on a Coleman CT200U

Predator 224 versus Predator 212 on a Coleman CT200U
Installed a stock Predator 212 on the Coleman CT200U mini bike. Tested
the bike for 0 to 30 and top speed time and then swapped the Predator 212 out for a Predator 224. Did the same test with the Predator 224 to see if there were any performance differences between the two engines.

Oh boy i cant wait to see you start messing with the 224 especially when you put the racing clutch on and it really locks up especially with mods thing would really move and mods are available from what i was told from omb warehouse is that the clone arc 3.303 rod is the right rod for the 224 and the arc clone flywheels will work as well as clone cams (clearancing on the cam most likely) due to the added stroke i cant wait for my parts to get here and i can start my build im shooting for 9000 rpms

[@Black66]

Ya, it will be fun! Its basically a factory stroker

[@madness_-yg3lw]

@@Black66 i saw you posted a pic and so i had to pull a couple strings i guess but i got my hands on one and honestly its this is great and all but i feel like they could have done just a little bit better and given us the full metal cam and automotive style retainers and keeps but from the looks of it isnt gonna as easily modified as the 212 by just being able to drop in a cam without clearancing and then you add a billet rod things are gonna get tight

[@Black66]

@@madness_-yg3lw Oh Ya for sure. This engine will be just as easy to modify as the 212. The 224 has the advantage because of the "Ducar block" It's a better-quality block. For me I'm not really too concerned about the cam and stuff because it's all going to be changed out anyway as I start modifying the engine. It's a great starting point. Strong block and a 58MM stroke.

[@madness_-yg3lw]

@@Black66 these 224s are gonna be some real power houses even on a mild set up im so glad they did away the the "hemi head" for these engines as non hemi in my opinion are a better option as you can run higher lift and you can always modify the head to increase cfm im gonna run a puals kart head on this 224 once i get the entire bottom end built i would hate to lose a head that cost 3xs the engine but before i get that head im gonna run a thinner head gasket and work the 224 ports

ARC 6773 is the rod you need for this with a stock piston. Some clearancing of the block will be required.

[@BuckeyeBallistics]

The 224 has a higher redline with the factory governor, which explains the extra top speed. I hope you repeat the exact same test but with the governors removed and nothing else done, see what it really ads on top end. Kinda weird that they gave a stroker a higher governed rpm...

[@OcotilloTom]

Very cool, I'm running the stock engine on my Coleman CT200 EX Mini. I have a Predator 212 Hemi engine in the box that I have not used yet. The stock engine still starts on the 1st. pull and is running well. Only mod I made was to replace the stock centrifugal clutch with a Go Power Sports torque converter. It went from 18 MPH to 36 MPH and I weigh 210 lbs. I use it in the deserts of Arizona where I live and am pleased with it. Only problem I have had was a rear outer bearing on the jack shaft went out after about 5 hours use. When I replaced it with a USA made Timken roller bearing I found the stock one had never been greased! Didn't matter since i was switching to a Torque converter anyway. Good video!

[@Black66]

Those 196 engines are pretty durable.Ya, the torque converter is better than the jackshaft. There is a video about that on the playlist. Have you checked out the Coleman CT 200ex playlist? We have tried many different combos on that bike .

Just went to get a 212 for the spring sale for $119.99 but they were out of stock so I just picked up a 224 for $169.99. I threw it on my new go kart I just bought and the clutch is fully engaging at around 20mph. I run out of field before I can even hit the governor limiter. It's a little ridiculous to be honest. It has a 12 tooth clutch to a 60 tooth sprocket and 18 inch diameter wheels. I'm tempted to just go with a 10 tooth clutch and leave the pulley and honestly just leave the governor on so the engine lasts forever.

Hello I really love your videos I think they’re the best mini bike vids on KZbin!! I have a question if you don’t mind. I have a Coleman RB200 is it ok to run it straight chain? I see you do. Why do some mini bikes come factory with a jack shaft? Thanks 👍🏻

[@Black66]

Thanks ! The jackshaft is for gear multiplication to pull these bigger bikes. You can run a straight chain but with the bigger tires it is harder on the clutch .Especially if you are a heavier rider. Going straight chain will reduce low speed quickness for more top speed. You can always add a bigger rear sprocket when running a straight chain to make up some of the lost low end .

[@ariamartinez7355]

Thanks, I have 2 Coleman bikes RB100 for my son & a RB 200 for myself. We enjoy watching you channel. We want to mod our bikes but it seems like we’re spending all of our time trying to keep the Coleman engines running. We’re gonna just swap them both out with the new Predator ghost. We love the bikes just find the engines to be problematic hopefully the predators will be more reliable. Keep the videos coming 👍🏻

Question? What type clutch are you using? I have a Coleman Mini Bike with a RT200 196cc engine. I swapped out the engine for a Predator 224, and found that the 224 has a higher idle speed, which in turn had kept the original clutch engaged. Any suggestions on a different type of clutch?

You can swap the springs out in the clutch for a higher stall. The Hilliard clutch is super easy to swap springs in.

I like these Longer stroked GX200 clone Engines. I use a Wildcat 223cc and man she is seriously powerful! I run them on my 16 foot long tail Mud Motor Boat and the wildcat absolutely blows away the previous engines I’ve had. (210cc Honda GX clone & Hemi Predator 212) the wildcat hands down blows them out of the water especially after I added a Robertsons torque tube looped header, a performance air filter and finally a PK 1B carburetor. I try to keep it minimal with the mods to keep my reliability but with a ductile iron crankshaft I don’t think I need to worry… I’ve never had issues ever besides the bs EPA crap I had to take off at first that was subduing the Engine and making it vibrate almost off the table! After the simple stage 1 upgrades The Wildcat breath’s great and has turned to a smooth purring kitten. (Unless I open the throttle… 😂) She has been the most reliable engine so far starts every time!

[@GeorgeWashingtonknows]

I built 2 of these same bikes for my son. Coleman bt200u. One has a ghost engine, the other has the stock 196 with 22 pound springs, pipe and gov delete. He weighs 120 and the 196 tops out 60 and the ghost tops out 68 and the 196 takes off faster. Same gearing stock sprocket straight chain with 10 tooth clutch. Same bikes same gearing. So I think the ghost is over rated. Over $300 for a ghost and that’s if you don’t get the kit for another 199.99. We didn’t do that. We used the same pipe as the one on the 196 it’s a Amazon pipe so for 8 mph more top speed and slower take off I don’t think a ghost is worth it when the stock 196 lightly modified takes off faster and only 8mph slower with the same gearing same bike same pipe and stock carb only 22 pound valve springs and gov delete. I think with the same carburetor and a billet fly wheel and maybe a better cam the 196 would be faster top speed. Already faster acceleration how it is now.

[@Black66]

The output shafts are the same on the two engines, 3/4 shaft. The big difference to me is the block. The block on the 224 is of much higher quality then the 212. It's a Ducar block. Great for future modifications. The longer stoke is awesome too. The bike loses a little bottom end without the jackshaft. I could add a bigger rear sprocket and gain some of the bottom end back. I think it might be a little faster after they break in. They were totally fresh in this test. I didn't make it to the hood ride. I will for sure try to make the next one.

Staright chain is ok. A converter on one of these bikes with a warmed over 212 runs really well. Check out the CT200U playlist. If you are going to run a straight chain I would run a bigger rear sprocket than I did in this video. Maybe a 60 tooth or something like that. It is hard on the clutch with the tall tires and the stock rear sprocket .

[@elcuh7939]

@@Black66 thank you I will go the torque converter route much appreciated 👍

[@laverncarroll]

I wonder if it has the same head as the regular 212 and if it has a dish piston like the 212

[@mrbprice1]

Does the straight chain make that big of a speed difference? I just put a 224cc on a Coleman CT200U EX (a little heavier) and I'm only getting 20mph stock.

[@tylerchambers5077]

what clutch are you using? i need a good quality clutch with out breaking the bank

[@Black66]

I have a video coming out on Saturday with a Max Torque racing clutch that I really like.

[@HappyHands.]

So what happens if you put a HEMI piston in it like the 212 has?? And a 6k coil and acam with a metal gear???

[@nealwhite8425]

What do you recommend I do with my clutch issue. I'm putting the 212 on ct200.. Straight chain vs. reusing the parts of the Coleman engine

[@Black66]

I would use a 3/4 shaft 420 clutch with a rear 60 sprocket with the straight chain so its not so hard on the clutch.

[@nealwhite8425]

Thank you !! Working on it now!!

[@nealwhite8425]

And that's the 10 tooth clutch right ? Can I bug you for the specs on the straight chain, how many links ?# 40-41 420 ?

[@josephryan6593]

ok u r big into engine hop ups which is great but did u ever design a front disc brake system 4 a coleman ct200 ?? when u r going that fast there's nothing like a front brake . captain America in easy rider didn't have a front brake but your a welder and i know u can fab something up. unless u have a mini bike shop in the area it would b a hit and miss with the inter net, mins r the best thanks joe.

@@Black66what’s the secret I need to know for mine to work

[@frederickwoods5943]

Funny how the size designation is tossed around loosely. I built a "224cc" with a Tilly block from NRracing; 72mm piston and the 55mm crank is 223.93cc... the 70mm piston and 58mm crank on this Ducar is 223.21cc, I won't loose any sleep over this...just saying 😴 (Combine a 72mm piston and a 58mm crank for 236.15cc; this stuff is getting crazy!)

Apparently I’m buying stock 212’s from the wrong harbor freight I couldn’t get over 30mph without stage 1

[@Black66]

Is your bike straight chained?

[@mlindsay527]

What do you weigh? Tires aired up hard? Brake dragging? New chain? the stock ones really drag when they start to bind. Stock jetting is also pretty lean at low elevation or cold weather.

[@Black66]

@@mlindsay527 I know all of that plays into any bikes top speed. But the beauty of these tests are that the tires, chain, elevation,temperature, rider weight, etc are always the same with both engines. So we can get a pretty accurate result from the test .

Straight chain it from clutch to the rear tire sprocket

Its a 40 chain on this one. Its a little wider than the factory 420 chain that comes on the bike. Its a little beefier.

[@troy22nd]

I'm curious about the acceleration/power/speed difference between the 212 hemi head and non hemi head, any idea?

[@Deucealive75]

On a stock engine there's not going to be a difference to the rider. But once you start building the non hemi head is a better choice. Getting higher compression is easier and there's less concern for piston to valve clearance with a non hemi head. A non hemi head equipped with Champion rockers will produce more power than a hemi head. And look at the aftermarket. Very few if any hemi heads and tons of choices of non hemi heads. I wouldn't have got a 224 if it had a hemi head. I would get a hemi only if I was going to run it stock and didn't care about performance.

[@HappyHands.]

longer stroke? so higher torque at lower rpms?

[@abelpalomino9553]

So I have a ct200u-ex and swapping it with a 224cc want to go straight chain has a rear stock sprocket , going to be running the vm22 and header pipe, want to know what’s the best clutch for this set up, 10t or 12t trying to get most mph out of it

[@Black66]

A lot of choosing a clutch tooth count or gear ratio has to do with your weight. The CT200U with a 5 to 1 ratio ,10 tooth clutch and 50 rear sprocket is already on the outer limits of what the engine has the torque to pull even with my light weight. On paper the 12 tooth looks like it would be faster, but it won't be. Not enough torque to pull that much gear. If you watch the series, you will see what I mean. I would go with the 10 tooth if you are going to run a 50 rear gear and the 19inch tall tires on the Coleman. If you watch this video you will see what I mean kzbin.info/www/bejne/roebmmhvlqyIl9E

[@burtonexoticbullies.2313]

I have the same bike and a 224 predator I ran straight chain 10 tooth clutch with 50 tooth rear sprocket the clutch got super hot real quick I weight 200 pounds so 8 ordered the 60 tooth rear sprocket ima see how that works
