Predator 224 build / Ghost Buster

[@julestrdprodjimavicpro2869]

I love my 212 built but LOVE my 224 none built for everyday usage! Your videos are A1 as they say in the Mini Bike Community!

[@milwaukeebrewcrew484]

Dude this is awesome. Love the channel this is the go to channel for mini bikes. I absolutely love everything you do… your never to old to ride mini bikes! I’m 33 my father is 64 and we ride all through the city! Nothing better then riding wheelies on my bt200x down the road with my dad riding one beside me. The heads we turn while riding makes it all worth it.

[@Black66]

Thanks! That's what its all about for sure!

[@timbattle3415]

I had the same issue with the thumb throttle. I got full sweep out of it by taking a Dremel with a carbide grinding bit to the inside of the thumb throttle body. There's casting that you can grind away on the inside.

[@NONAME-kw3pu]

thx for telling us the jet size, carb size and altitude so ppl at similar altitudes and builds have a place to start on jet sizes instead of guessing.... with 10 main jets and 10 idle jets... that is 100 jet combos possible... that is a LOT OF trial and error and some of us ... might not have the patience to try all those combos. a must RE see vid series ;)

[@Black66]

Everyone's jetting will be different. I have even had two identical carbs on the same bike and the jetting turned out different from one another. Check out the carb tuning videos on the channel in the carb tuning playlist. Thanks for watching!

Makes me excited. Id be building my 224 already but ombwarehouse forgot the 265 cam in my performance kit I got from them. I have some 1.3 arc billet rockers to go with it and I went all out and got the 24mm Mikuni flat slide carb too. So pumped to get working on it.

[@morethenenough]

Hey my friend told me about you. You went right by my house in this one Have fun

[@shotbyzaystudio]

perfect video at the right time

[@mikem1557]

You do a great job on your videos.. Very informative!

[@Black66]

Thanks!

[@MinibikeAbe-89]

Awesome build 👍

[@denhamdaves]

The governor hole up top can be used for Pressure release just put a little air filter on there

[@mikesbarn1858]

You need a one way valve on it.

[@marquislewis1767]

I have built a few engines by watching your vids! The information you provide is gold! I have a ghost with a broken rod. I would like to go to Harbor freight today and grab a 224. Would I be able to swap the 224 plastic cam gear for the metal cam gear out of the ghost? And could I use the rev limiting ignition coil from the ghost on the 224? Just so I can temporarily remove the governor from the 224 until i can order the superman kit.

[@Black66]

Thanks! If you use the Ghost coil you also have to use the Ghost flywheel because its clocked different than a 224 flywheel. Both engines have .550 cam mains so it will fit. Check out the cam fitment video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bILCn5p5mNCUgKs

I run a 212 'Stagev3+' (big valve, 275 cam etc) with a Keihin 26PWK and even that is too much carb so a 28 defitely is. Gas velocity = throttle response, a big choke is all top end.

[@mazb2500]

Hello, I have the same combination. The only difference is that I have a billet piston and the intake and exhaust block cover is ported with a Nibbi carburetor. The rear toothing is 40. The maximum speed is 60 miles with a BTX 200, exactly the same motorcycle.

[@davidholcomb9961]

I'd rather go with the 224 for the torque. There's no replacement for displacement. I guess the Wildcat 223 is the hot ticket because of the beefy block and the longest stroke in the class.

[@edgualdino628]

Let me know what you think about that tank is it a good price or to high thanks for the help

[@PnVG22]

Would you still use the lash cap on the exhaust side with the automotive style rockers ?? SOS

[@FreeFallen32]

What header pipe are you using here? I’m trying to find a pipe to fit my ghost in my BT200x. Thank you.

[@SoLoCruizer]

If i got a ghost could i use the flywheel off my ducar so i can build my ducar up an use the ghost in the meantime or should i just get the duro440cc

[@airamiscovarrubias2593]

Hey black66 I’m trying to replicate your build on my 224 Coleman b200r do you mind sharing what kit you got from diy performance can’t find kit exact kit

[@Black66]

I Linked the REV kit in the description of the video . Thanks

[@-_-OB1]

What's the purpose of going to 5+ clicks on the torque wrench? Just habit?

[@Gloucester_minibiking]

How do you get your throttle to spring back on the 224 because I can’t figure out how to do it on mine

[@samaxeman123]

superman 265 is a great cam, i get 8000rpm out of it with 22 pound valve springs and a 24mm flatslide

[@alexytgaming4543]

For real did you install those parts on the 224 or 212?

[@Deucealive75]

@@alexytgaming4543 You can use this cam on any OHV small block except the non hemi Predator. I have one in one of my 196's.

[@samaxeman123]

@@alexytgaming4543 212 non hemi

[@Stars4yu-ru5vr]

so instead of taking all of the governor stuff off. can i just take off the gear on the crankshaft?

[@smokeyi477]

Is this the new upgraded one ?

[@aaleexsaalaazaar]

New upgraded one?

[@bl_jacobs]

@@aaleexsaalaazaarthey came out with a hemi one now that’s why they had to take the 224 off the harbor freight website for a bit

[@NONAME-kw3pu]

superman 265 is a great cam

[@Black66]

Yes, have that cam in a few bikes on the channel

[@dwaynebowman2175]

Would you be able to tune my 196cc

[@MFU.team.4367]

He’s has put out so many helpful videos, I’m sure if you really tried and paid close attention you can do it yourself. I don’t think he’s missed anything when it comes to these engines

[@kgol4686]

You really can't compare that to the ghost in speed wise because the ghost doesn't have a 265 can in or aluminum push rods and 26 lb springs the ghost a Only 22springs and a mild mild lift on that ghost cam but cost this for 224 is to me a way better deal

[@BT2SS]

Love your videos, but a torque wrench gets ONE click!!!

[@Black66]

I like doing multiple clicks to get folks to comment on the videos! Thanks for commenting! Oh by the way after 400 + plus videos on the channel We haven't had one engine failure! We can thank the mini bike expert for that! He shows up from time to time on the channel. Also check out the other world-ending videos on the channel that we were absolutly not supposed to do, no Exhaust video, three foot intake video, and one of my favorites the 7- foot exhaust video! Thanks for watching!

[@donkler5476]

First comment woohoo

[@markmorris2336]

The 224 on sale for 129.99 now

[@Black66]

Good deal

[@mktwatcher]

Just wasting fuel with jet in that 28mm carb. Try smaller jet in 28 for better fuel air mix.

Check out the playlist on the channel for many jetting and carb videos. Thanks for watching. kzbin.info/www/bejne/emavaX-qqMaBlck

[@02ws64]

Just picked up a predator 224 for my trailmaster mb200 and went to go install my 22lb springs and was shocked to find it has a hemi head from the factory....this is a newer motor I picked up after hf had been out of stock for a while. Here is a link to my video showing the head kzbin.infoEPpvOoJXFpk?feature=shared

[@Deucealive75]

I'm wondering if guys know they can get a Ducar 224 from DynoCams? This is the one to get if you want to build. No governor or flywheel. Non hemi head. And I'm hearing better quality than the Predator 224.

[@SoLoCruizer]

My bike hit 50 in a shorter distance then you and my rear brake was rubbing 🙃 imagine if i do the upgrades 60tooth rear 14t max torque 💪🏼💯💨💨💨💨
