Blown Up Snowblower Powered Coleman Mini Bike Revival! | Tillotson 212 Swap + Rip!

Behold the Dirt Hog Coleman CT200U-EX! Charles bought this Coleman camouflage mini bike from Tractor Supply brand new a few years ago, and came across a Predator 212 that was used on a snowblower. Interestingly enough, the previous owner put performance parts on the Predator 212 snowblower. We have no idea if it made the snowblower work any better, but Charles certainly got a good deal on the performance engine until it developed smoking AND rod knock issues! In today's episode we get a Grand Prix lap time out of the knocking Predator 212, swap on a brand new Tillotson 212 electric start, run the GP again, and compare the lap times!

[@kenscheffer298]

I don’t know the general consensus nor do I care. I simply think Charles completes the what used to be dynamic duo. Together y’all make the perfect trio! Love the content gentleman thank y’all!

[@jamesduncan1615]

Agreed!

[@adamdube2062]

I agree it's hard to have a trio and not make it feel too overwhelming and busy, they do an awesome job

[@tommyjefferson9525]

Yea you guys was funy

[@tophernuttle420]

They get in where they fit in well... It wouldn't be the same without Charles's goofiness tho,thats for certain....

[@mrshaneyt43]

100% agree . It wouldn’t be the same if he ever left .

[@CarsandCameras]

Long live the dirt hog!

[@frankiedaniel4218]

The lawn mower go

[@exoclipz9998]

hell yeah brother!

[@guilherme-lg2fh]

Nice bike CarsandCameras

[@AndrewB416]

15:47 - I love that Charles is all hunched over and full squat on top of the lift as if he's working on the bike with it still on the floor. Old habits die hard haha.

[@FarmerFpv]

Lmao, I just noticed that.

[@mrshaneyt43]

Love the look of that little bike . Nice that Charles stuff is getting some love , he’s such a cool guy 👍

[@sourdonkeyjuice]

So glad Charles joined the crew! He really fits in and is a great addition to the show!

[@davidkuhn3058]

Best small engine channel period! All 3 of you guys have a purpose on the show. I'm sure behind the scenes there might be disagreements as should be but for the sake of the channel keep it going. This is worth every show to watch.

[@machinist5828]

Good show lads! You fit each other well. I was a bit worried when Charles came on that it might be awkward but that hasn't been the case. Cool re-power! Cheers Terry

[@richb313]

Ike going again brought back some memories for sure. With three now competing it will be interesting until you have 3 identical mini bikes or carts to go head to head at the same time. Danger plus bragging rights.

[@BobbyOfEarth]

I thought I was living the dream in the new paradigm when I was nine and my best friends dad modified his Taco mini bike with a Honda 50 manual shift engine, and these guys are still living the dream.

[@richarddanielpayne6185]

Charles was really a great addition to the team

[@kurtyoung6769]

I agree!!

[@imxploring]

Super addition!

[@Sithhy]

Yeha, much better than the previous douche-y guy

[@lukesnare8063]

I've gotta disagree with that one, he's a little odd ball.

[@imxploring]

@@lukesnare8063 I guess you could see it that way.... but then again.... we're all watching videos about a bunch of grown men playing with mini bikes and go karts... so is there hope for us? LOL I think I enjoy their excitement and creativity, not to mention their daring attitudes when they test their creations!

[@paulvonrentzell5189]

This is a nice Change in production format.really showing so many tricks of the trade. This is far superior than just build and blast productions. 7 year subscriber

[@danielpapp3995]

I'd love to see a video of tear down repair and rip of that engine

[@mystafrawzt]

Love the Dirt Hog ! Gotta get a sticker... I live in Arkansas & the logo matches 😂. Charles is the perfect addition. Awesome content as always!

[@HouseOfThe8Strings]

Great episode! Need more Charles projects! He brings a different type of build style in and it fits perfect!

[@billdont2458]

About time Charles gets in and mixes it up. 👏👏👏

[@NiTecIndustries]

You know you're going to have a great birthday when one of your favorite powersports channels uploads today. Thank you guys!

[@House-O-Klimax]

Happy birthday dawg!

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Hope it's a Great Birthday!

[@valentinepfaff9778]

Thanks For Doing It Man , I'm 60 , and got my 1st RUPP TT500 (?) around 9 .. it was in a local paper in the Classifieds for $25 .. Dad was cheap , but a Great Wrench , We built a couple Minibikes back then , and until he passed in January 2017 , We Rode Motorcycles together .. He was in a few Clubs , and We would meet , Him with a bunch of Riders ( Older Dudes , Dad's Regular Riding partner was near 100 , his name is Leo ) .. This Minibiking , and Motorcycle is a Lifelong Passion , When I see You guys wrenching , and Testing your Toys Out , it brings back Awesome and Much Simpler Times for me that I Miss .. Great Work and Keep the Faith !! - Val

[@devivoman]

That thing is awesome but man that governor is hitting early, it'll be a monster as soon as you stage 2 that puppy! Keep up the great work boys!

[@larrydavidson3402]

Another fun video from the Cars and Cameras trio. Really look forward to these videos.

[@tymattera8929]

Really love the longer build videos

[@samilbhogalgodisgreat6927]

Nice and usually it's always something small hopefully you make it worth it and have hella fun guys with the project

[@JamesCouch777]

I took a break from working on my bike to come in and watch the guys work on their bike.

[@gorgosanma]

It's good guy Charles! The only thing missing was John's lap!

[@House-O-Klimax]

I'm a fan of the mostly Charles cross over episode! Fun episode. Reminded me of earlier episodes before you even mentioned thats what you and Ike used to do!

[@bodine2537]

Nice bike , Ike I think you could still knock off a second or two on your lap time cause Charles had it hammered down coming through the woods on his lap, you werent slow but I just knew Charles was going to fast coming up on the slab crossing and was gonna crash out but he took it like a pro and slid out a bit just coming out of the woods ,can’t wait to see you guys videos every week, good stuff 💯👍🏼

[@nevereasyranch7315]

Just curious, but have y’all ever thought about getting a real timer that has a photo electric beam to use on the Grand Prix laps?

[@twocvbloke]

I don't think the snowblower story is silly, since watching engine modifications being done on this channel, I've often thought about what it'd be like to have a generator all hopped up with ported & polished stuff with skimmed heads and high-flow carbs & exhausts, would be one heck of a generator, a "Sports Generator" if you will... :P

[@Adventure_Van_Upgrades]

locked in from the uk ! keep up the great work guys

[@Chia_HulkLife]

Cars and camera role call lol been waiting all day for a video

[@Spacecruizer203]

Lol that chain is.....woe out lmao🍿🔥🔥18:55

[@Troygehring]

Nice video man! I have the same mini bike but with a built Tillitson 225🤘🏻

[@alexpaumen3937]

Brings back memories of when I disassembled my first engine. It was a Briggs and Stratton lawnmower engine that was slightly newer than the one I owned at the time. Also I was planning to upgrade my own snowblower as well.

[@robertrose1098]

The Forrest section of the course always gets my blood pressure going !!! Charles made a nice run !! But we missed a wee bit of izzac's winning run 🙄 .Gee guys this mini bike really does look cool with the camouflage.. I'm always left inspired and wanting to see more !!! 🤪👍 Hay , God bless you all also all those people whom you love .. 🤍

[@murrayminimotors1674]

Great group of guys!! Love all the videos from day one!!$$

[@redneck_cowboy7826]

Awesome device also, love the vids and hope you guys have a good day and buccee's sticker

[@lloydbaker7099]

As always guys great video have fun

[@presleyfleckmotorizedbikef4285]

That is one awesome mini bike thank you for the video

[@dragonrider6875]

I love the content. I can't wait to see you all get one of the high performance predator engines. and give that a try. You all have the content that I have seen,

[@shotsrodder]

Charles makes for some good competition 😎 you guys have to do a three lap triple run off 🥰

[@oldcars46]

This was fun to watch like the old days. You need to do one of your races through the hills like I did earlier where you have all different people running around the track in the mountains

[@mccathernfamilyprojectsandadv.]

That's a nice bike love all the content. Keep it ☝

[@ppx4243]

Another great episode. Bikes, engines, laughs, good times.

[@gerardowen359]

Charles is the man. Cool dude and great Mechanic. All the best bro

[@calebestep7688]

I can't miss a video. This KZbin channel has it all, keep it up guys I don't get bored of this! The dirt hog is a hoggggggg!

[@kaseyjones4143]

[@JohnHill-jm7tm]

Another great video guys. 4am and the Old Man from Washington NC enjoying with my coffee ☕. You three work so well together. Love y'all and waiting for the next video. 🛵🧔💝💝💝

[@DJSKRECORDS]

awesome i learned so much from these vids and my roommate he now wants to be a mechanic ty guys

[@ervingoertzen7233]

Wow that new shop is filling up nicely !

[@yeahitskimmel]

15:35 you know your a gear head when you crack open a fresh bottle of oil and wanna give it a sniff lol. P.S. your old tired brake cable is probably stretched if it won't grab a full adjustment

[@calebestep7688]

John, issac and Charles what a trio seshhhhh

[@jackyPOO0]

Love those mini bikes!!

[@bobmanzi7712]

as always great stuff thanks

[@otix3253]

Charles squatting on the bike rack has mee rolling xD i had a motorcycle lift for the longest time and did exactly that. i guess there is some comfort in doing things the old way before having better equipment lol love this channel!

[@throttle_therapy]

Great video once again guys! We are currently working on turning a tracked craftsman snow blower into a fun unit. It would be cool to see you guys find one with tracks and see what you could come up with!

[@robertberneman5748]

I love watching this channel! I have so many questions about the go kart I got for my kids lol

[@P8FPV]

Great video thanks

[@gelsol]

Nice, a classic Coleman mod!

[@18wheeler77]

Hell yeah, love the Buc-ee’s sticker!

[@jaysonburns4423]

This bike is gonna ride very well when you guys get finished gota new upgraded engine and new brakes upgraded chain..the old girl def needed this...

[@rebeccabentley1568]

I love all your videos

[@calebestep7688]

Congrats on 1 million subs

[@davidrapp201]

Love those colman bikes

[@Knee-ko]

6:51 - You're all good Charles. No need to visit the Doctor. Ike doesn't think it's you're rod. 👍🤣👍🤣

[@omarboone1220]

I've been thinking for a few videos now: That 1 lil tree at the woods exit REALLY needs to go.

[@jackrickells3979]

I like what you did with the camo straps and the camo bike

[@FarmerFpv]

Keep up the great content & comedy mechanics show, lol.

[@MarkMarvin1983]

Those bikes have so much torque!! I have to take so many wide turns lol

[@littlebossdave]

Hell yeah brother

[@CodysKarts]

Love the vid

[@VintageTexas59]

That's a cool bike, I like it !

[@nollidelddik]

I can relate, my first go with these engines was a replacement for my 70s arrens snowblower, and i hopped it up and did all kinds of anger mods to throw snow on my neighbor's porch🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@austinvanallen5270]

Love the content! Y’all should do a harbor freight jon boat.

[@user-vf7um3nd8d]

love these bikes

[@wh0019]

I wish I had friends like you guys

[@cale_awsome6701]

Love the videos and for the dirt hog stickers i think you should do a blue background and and camo letters

[@IngenTechNational]

Charles reminds me of Bo Duke on Dukes of Hazzard!😂😂

[@rydplrs71]

The problem with repurposed snowblower engines is most of them do not have air filters in stock configuration. I don’t know about Honda, but the other brands don’t because they ice up and choke out.

[@Omegadoomship]

Honda snow blowers don’t have air filters either. They have a thin metal screen but that’s it

[@itsnot1673]

And because there's no dust

[@TheBiliken]

Thanks for doing this, I have been thinking about a 212 tilly ungoverned with a juggernaut. What is the stock gearing ratio vs a cvt?

[@jimsworthow531]

Take the side cover off, take out the knocking bearing; shim the bearing with a strip of cardboard behind it and replace bearing. my grandfather did this with my mini bike and other small engines; old school trick and it will last years!

[@joearokis8265]

The idea of more power on the snowblower is to get finished faster. Faster is better when it's freezing outside. But finishing before your neighbor must give some satisfaction. 😄

[@jjjuarez312]

Damn that knocking engine stil has some balls!!

[@LoftechUK]

That’s a cool bike.

[@Buck1954]

You're gonna have to camo paint the blue cover tho. Or paint the bike blue. The blue against the camp looks wrong. Otherwise a well balanced, fun bike. I want one.

[@SharpenedSteel1]

Good Stuff

[@eddyd.105]

i have a old herchee 65cc 4 wheeler that ive swapped a 212 into and a go power sports jug torque converter and mancuni carb with a gov delete and aftermarket cam and its just sitting around. i have a kid on the way and have no more time for it at least until 5 years old or so lol i was 7 when i got my first dirtbike . if the cars and cam crew is wanting to buy it for shipping cost only HMU. ive gone 50 on a smaller rear sprocket but right now i have it has a big rear sprocket so my nephew could practice his wheelies. im in tx and if you pay for the shipping i will send it to you for shipping cost only. i also have plenty of gopowersports part to go with it. BTW i used c&c code for all the parts and i would like to personally thank the guys at cars and cameras for all the effort these guys put into there videos and builds because if it was not for you guys this build would have never happened and would have probably rusted away in my scrap pile. IM me on youtube or send me a email and i will give any info needed.:)

[@gretaann5323]

YOU ALL ROCK 😎🤘

[@brookskindervater6719]

loved the video, have a coleman ct200u ex myself and wanted to put the new Predator 224cc engine with a stage 2 on it. You guys should do a Predator 224cc build soon!

[@moparracing0128]

I would like to see that Tillotson 212 with a stage 3 but retain the electric start!

[@Spirit_Lanayru]

Charles, you should get some EBC grooved brake shoes! They did wonders for stopping distance and squealing on mine. For $17, it's a must-do on these colemans. Also, I love the classic front wheel bearing squeal during Ike's run. Gives me some heavy nostalgia.

[@holtpage8226]

Y’all are going to have to make some Dirt Hog merch with the plasma table.

[@audrey6277]

Awesome

[@jasonkeplinger2835]

Trick I use on brake shoes is to use a cut off wheel and due grinder to cut angled grooves in the shoe and it helps clear dirt and mud.

[@stevenbonnesen5988]

Yep...I can see it from here... It's the rotation of the whatshamuhcallit interconnecting with the side movement of the thingamajig making a knocking sound as the insides are trying to get to the outside as shrapnel...

[@gqp4800]

Nice lift

[@richardyerton9296]

I just bought myself a 1987suzuki fa50 and I love it and I found out that it's one of them that was imported from Japan

[@Bioruss]

Ike on the ragged edge was epic.

[@jamierushing8811]

Hi y’all from west Alabama love ya

[@ik04]

The Buc-Ees sticker makes it faster, for sure!

[@joewoodard2513]

I love the Dirt Hog... I also have a 200ex with a Tilly 212 slightly modified lol. Put a VM22, Billet Flywheel, 22lb valve springs, Hot 265 Cam, connecting rod, header and delete that governor she'll be set for a minute. Only thing is I'm not sure they make a Billet Flywheel that'll allow for the starter.
