Can I use all of the old clutch assembly ? And how fast does the engine go without customizing it

Yes you can! When you put it back together, you may need different mounting bolts (the 4 that go in the engine), which are at your lowes or home depot. You will need FINE threads (24), not course (18). May also need to cut the little plate on the engine to fit, which I showed in the video. Top speed was around 30 I believe, no mods.

Well, grinder as in with a cut off wheel, yes. You will also obviously need the tools for the bolts too. It is really simple and almost a bolt and go process. If you have bad chains, you may need a chain breaker, but they should be fine.

@@BlakesBuilds ok thanks. Yeah I got tools and before I do it, I'll measure the clutch on the old Coleman to see if it's a 3/4 and not the 5/8 that way I don't have to order any parts.

[@vigilante0511]

Did you have to change the chain on the clutch? If not how did you get it back on, so close to finishing th swap but can’t get the first damn chain on

[@BlakesBuilds]

I finagled the chain onto the sprockets. First wrap the chain around the clutch sprocket then pull back the tensioner, then pull the chain partially over the other sprocket. Roll the entire bike forward or backwards to force the chain on. If that doesn't work for some reason, you may be able to find a master link to take off

[@Zednor9]

The way I went about that was to just put the chain on both sprockets before I put the clutch on the engine, which I did before I mounted the engine onto the frame. In other words, I just slid the engine off and onto the clutch that I held with one hand right where it would end up . This way I didn't even have to remove the jackshaft plate from the frame at all.

[@jackcornell5402]

Would it be worth it to take out the governor before putting the first oil in it

[@BlakesBuilds]

It's not a terrible idea to remove the governor if you're looking for extra power in your motor, BUT you will run the risk of blowing your engine over time. If you want to risk it for the biscuit, you might as well do it without any oil first.

[@n8dawggofficial428]

I removed the governer first thing out the box. Its the cleanest time to do it. And well you really dont gotta worry about it once you start modding.. right now my bike the engine is running but i messed up the bolts to mount down the 212 cc. I used a impact drill and messed up the threading on the nut! But ill have a video uploaded once i get that on. And i just ordered an exhaust pipe along with a mikuni so that will also be in the video aswell. 🤘🤘 Safe riding!

[@lilsneeze7018]

I think if you want to go fast, just get a dirtbike. They are much faster than 35 mph and you won't have to do mods to the engine- not to mention they are much safer than a predator with a governor bypass. You will also spend more money over time with a minibike than say, a $1000 investment

Good question, yes it does mount on the original holes. The chain assembly will work as well, but you just have to cut a small part (which I showed in the video) off.

The tools are hard to say, as it's been a while since I've done this swap...Definitely going to need a ratchet and some various sockets, screw drivers, needle nose plyers, at least a 13mm wrench (or adjustable wrench if you're cheap), and I would recommended using an impact gun to put the clutch bolt on or it may come off if you don't make it tight enough with a ratchet.

A torque converter is a lot better than a regular centrifugal clutch. It isn't loud like the clutch, it lasts longer with little maintenance, and it will give your bike a ton more torque and probably 5-10 more mph.

Do you need a new clutch

[@BlakesBuilds]

If your original engine has a 5/8" shaft size then you will need a new one, with 10 teeth. If the original engine has a 3/4" shaft then you will be fine re-using it

I do recommend doing a hemi 212 swap. That will give you more power than the one I got. Do that with a stage one kit and you're good to go! I have a video on how to do the stage kit by the way

It could be a variety of factors: -Is it a 212cc engine or the original 196cc? -Bearings in the wheels could be old (doubting) -New clutch or old clutch? -You could just weigh more than me (I am 145lbs) -Tires could have less air than mine -Different gps speedometers Hope that helps!

@@BlakesBuilds 212 brand new everything new clutch wheel bearings brand new I wash just over 110 new rear tire a little softer than the front but another thing is I think stock rear sprocket it has a lot of torque so that might be why I might have to go down some teeth but what I’m planning on doing I just ordered them tonight I got a 0.63 jet and a performance air filter for the bike I hope that gives me atleast 3 or 4 mph do you think I would have to adjust the idle or anything like that after I drop the new jet in and an the elusion tube or whatever it’s called idk if mine has it but could I use the stock one with the new bigger jet also ?

[@BlakesBuilds]

@@ninjaxgaminggamingchannel3082 I can send links for all of that and you would probably save a lot of $$. I always order an air filter & custom jet combo for I believe 34 bucks. I recommend an exhaust pipe as well if you're doing the full stage 1 upgrade and want to be loud as hell- usually $30- 40, depends on pipe. You do not need to mess with the emulsion tube, just CAREFULLY replace the screwed in jet with the jetted one. Then, take out the plastic idle screw and gently pry out the black plastic jet and replace just how you found it, make sure the jet is sitting like it was stock! Screw in the idle screw until it touches the throttle piece. You will need to adjust the idle screw for the best idle when you start it up though. With a stage 1 upgrade, you should be looking at 30mph, or in your case, around 27mph. If you want higher top end speed, find a good sprocket that fits the chain, but with less teeth, that will definitely give you gains. Let me know if you need anything else!

How much faster will it go with this engine?

If compared to the other engine it's about the same top speed wise unless you get a torque converter or upgrade the engine. You will get better acceleration and the engine will be more reliable with the 212. However if you're looking for speed over those things I would just remove governor and upgrade the old engine, so if it blows up its not a big deal

@@troyholland3436 make sure the throttle arm fully pulls back with the throttle cable. Also make sure it's in the "run" position and if those are good it may just be the jackshaft limiting top end speed. If you did a straight chain it would have higher top end speed.

Taking out the governor will make the max rpm higher so you can go faster. I don't recommend doing it unless you don't care that the engine could blow up. If you want speed it's definitely a way to go though

[@draimen3371]

@@BlakesBuilds ur fine to remove the governor on stock valve springs, rods don’t start to break past 6k but it floats at 5400, so just don’t keep it at max rpm too long.

It is much easier to do it with the two chains that it already has. I wasn't trying for speed on this one anyway, but I don't think it would go 50 mph with that set up.

@@ninjaxgaminggamingchannel3082 If you take off the jack shaft, you will need a longer chain. It would probably work, but I am very doubtful because there is a chain tensioner there for a reason. I think the chain would have a more likely chance to fall off. If I were you and wanted more speed, sell the mini bike for $400+ and get a faster dirtbike with gears for the same price, or just trade one.

[@Deucealive75]

@@ninjaxgaminggamingchannel3082 Others have run that way with the chain going from the clutch directly to the rear sprocket on these Colemans.

@Maxxamus ORourke the easiest way would be to do a stage 1 kit (exhaust, carb jets, air filter). You could also make it go much faster with a different sprocket set up.

@Maxxamus ORourke the torque converter is the clutch. If you put that on, then you will just need a chain for the sprockets.

@Maxxamus ORourke the chain should be a 40/420 chain if you have the stock back wheel sprocket on. For the torque converter you need to use a 10 tooth sprocket on the jackshaft

How exactly did you hook up the throttle cable to the carb with the stock linkage?

[@BlakesBuilds]

I think I showed it in the video, the engine has two Phillips head screwed between the gas tank and air box, there is a nut to loosen the throttle arm. The throttle arm should be able to move all the way back and go back towards the gas tank when you let go. The metal part (tip) of your throttle cable goes on the first clamp with a Phillips screw holding it. The second Phillips screw holds the cable. Make sure the throttle itself is completely back so you get the most cable as possible and make sure you have a nice fit that isn't too tight or too loose. You might have to play with the tension based on preference. After that you are good to go! I added an extra spring for safety, but you don't have to
