Coleman CT200U EX Electric Start

Today I install a electric start 7.0hp engine on the Coleman CT200U-EX. Still needs a little fine tuning and then that 50t sprocket switched out for the 62t. Come back next week for even more upgrades. Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe to help us grow.

The natural leaves really do make good camo stencils.. I use them when camoing vehicles usually

[@stephenc3548]

OMFG best video yet amazing job

[@keithbrettell2058]

The music that runs from 6:52 to 9:33 is downright creepy! It felt like I was watchin' Steven King novel turned into a video.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

We like to keep you on your toes lol

[@Ratkill9000]

Have to agree with others; Gun metal grey and gloss black rims. The chrome headlight may help as an accent.

[@CyclingJunkieUSA]

Just bought mine yesterday. Love your channel, keep it up.

[@cardboardguy1444]

CyclingJunkieUSA do you still have it? Have you had any problems with it?

[@CyclingJunkieUSA]

Cardboardguy 14 I had to take it to repair shop (under warranty) throttle was sticking. But it’s fun as heck. Coleman was easy to work with. No issues

[@scotmckay977]

I added a 3 liter gas bicycle tank to the storage tank on my Coleman ex, fits inside! Rubber mounted works great!

[@dajackisback4609]

Paint it gunmetal grey and paint the rims black

[@Swainey_]

Da Jack Is Back Yessss

[@waynedavis2505]

rainbow glitter with neon purple lighting on the underside.

[@arberfilms2302]

No don’t do that. Paint the fuel tank and pull start cover black to make it look like factory. It will look like it came from the factory like that.

[@user-neo71665]

On the seat pan you can pick up a cheap skateboard and use it. That way it will have the kick up to hold your butt in on the rear and be wood so staples hold the cover on (easier and more secure than most customer grade glues). Bonus you can use the other end of the deck to do another seat. I pick them up from yard sales for a few bucks just for this purpose. For paint I suggest painting the engine cover tan to match the bike frame. I'm not even a camo fan but it looks pretty good on this bike.

[@Mrhilljack]

Paint the motor camo.. use pine needle, oak leaves, hedge leaves to hold up and spray over after you give the motor a camo base coat.. then clear the finished product

[@skarekr0w3]

Pink and yellow!

[@ClimptonDiddlehopper]

I've been using Walbro carbs and most often they come with a larger jet as well as a choke. They make them for replacing dirt bike and 4 wheeler carbs so I make a custom manifold but have really been impressed with them. Fact I put one on my kids minibike like this one we got from tractor supply. It really woke that thing up. I used an atv muffler and it runs awesome with a bit of backpressure. Just what I've been running hope the info helps.

[@geneo3654]

You could take one of the rubber drain plugs from the bed of a pickup truck and drill the same size hole as The one in the bed and wala you have a plug for your toolbox !! You'll be able too take off and replace as needed. Just a thought !!

[@raydogghilton9276]

I just bought a brand new ct 200u-ex mini bike. I am keeping mine stock!!!!!!

[@bjrobertscbr600f3]

White frame, gunmetal fairings and tool box, and red engine cover!😉

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+bruce roberts i kinda like that

[@samanthatorres4914]

I talked to Aron about the mikuni he hooked it up ,thanks though!They are great over at GPS

Im going to predict that 1 year from now you will be at 120- 140k subscribers with the way your uploading good content.

+Chad Linton. I appreciate that man

[@ianwalsh4051]

You were right

[@CHAD-RYAN]

@@ianwalsh4051ive been looking for this old comment. Couldnt find the video i posted it on.

[@CHAD-RYAN]

Get some 50:1 premis gas cans, take the lables off, fill them with 100% gas and strap them on the bike for extra fuel. It would be cheaper than any other gas cans you get offline.

[@rodsapyta7059]

BLACK, Just the motor, leave the Camo.Great video Thanks brother. God Bless.

[@FirstGenDiesel]

Flat black with red and blue pinstripes.

[@williamstepp0206]

Black n blue

[@jamesmaroon6161]

Hey Gregg. Think I would paint that bike, the same as the outdoors. Engine, a little tan and black then frame olive drab green. Just saying.

[@brandongamble5223]

On my mini bike those back jack shaft gears I’ve got swapped and I’ll tell u I haul ass. My motor is also built for more power but yeah

[@reddragonstacking5247]

Gunmetal grey with black wheel hubs and the light black as well and make a new torque converter cover have that gunmetal grey with black and red red beard garage logo.

[@gregsullivan8956]

Thanks for the hard work on posting these videos. AKA Robert Earl

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Greg Sullivan thanks for watching man

[@Danehavenlane]

Try SNUS instead of dip! It’s pasteurized and no spitting. Goes in up lip and getting popular.

[@bryanfortner1250]

Hydro dip the engine components to match the camo.

[@AT_motors]

I love your video's man keep up the good work RBG

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+oxi clean get the tough stains out nick thanks man

[@Mrhilljack]

I bought that same bike lift today at harbor frieght. Got a heck of a deal.. 269.00 and 20% off of that. 230 something after tax.. gotta find my ticket here.. They accomdated me well because I been waiting on it. They had been out of stock for a couple of months.And I spend like 700 a month in there anyway.. mostly on stuff that I resell online..or try to sell anyway.. anyway I plan to build add on's that can be taken on or off. So I can use it for atvs and sideby sides. And still take them off for motorcycles... and maybe put a wide pipe base attachment at the floor on one end so it doesnt try to turn over with atvs on it.. my shop is 36 × 60 and a much bigger mess than yours.. cant keep it neat.. to many project left overs and to much stuff I have just in case I need it.. all in the way in there.. have a collector truck stored on the lift and one stored underneath it.. need more space.. but im a little older I think.. Im 45 and things acculate over the years.

[@wesleybowen7790]

And then paint the frame red with grey or black fenders plus the fuel tank of course

[@silentdeath9237]

Make a swing arm for the rear moving the tire back 12" and put a suspension on it similar to a dirt bike. Metallic blue paint

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Silent Death I have been thinking about that

[@mariametko]

It's playful looking cutiepies just as is. But, if it's already camo, pick any of the camo colors. Maybe paint each part of the frame one of the three camo colors. It would be 3d like. Cool

[@markeholbrook]

I think desert tan digital camo vinyl wrap would be great on the engine!

[@cwmaxfield2000]

By doing the below. You'll have a ton of space for a battery box and a tool holder

[@cwgreen1938]

Frame=Powder Coat Black Fenders=Yellow/black metal flake Toolbox=Yellow/black metal flake Wheels=Yellow powder coat Engine=Black/yellow metal flake

[@CHAD-RYAN]

Green and white. Red and chrome would look cool on that. I took the chrome forks from the ct200u ex and put it on the ct200u red one and it looks dang sweet.the red and chrome would look like a red beards creation.

[@ZogReturns]

I work as a go kart mechanic, & I realise there is a good chance you have already done this, but have you tried changing the setting on the round-slide on the inside of the mikuni? There is a small surclip in there that you can adjust by moving it's position up or down slightly, which can help run the carb slightly richer or leaner. Changing the jet is a sure fire way of changing it to run richer or leaner, but you have to buy the jets for it, so it may be worth trying to adjust the setting on the carb slide as a free way of fine tuning the air/fuel mixture. It may or may not work for you, but it helped me fine tune my heavily modified GX200 (kicking out about 18hp) which was running a little bit lean before. Generally speaking, the lower to the bottom of the slide the surclip is placed, the richer it should run.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

We actually moved the clip up on notch and are going to try to do another. It has a little bit too big of jets in it at the moment. Think it might be flooding itself out on topend

[@dtalon92]

Have you ever considered doing a hydrographics water transfer to selected parts? Fenders, tank, flywheel cover.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+dtalon92 I actually know a guy close that does it I may check into it.

[@christianyoung7689]

i don't think the pulse pump was necessary because the fuel inlet on the carb is lower than the bottom of the tank

[@CHAD-RYAN]

A good color for camo would be hunter Orange And maybe some Orange accents Here and there

[@smallengine]

The master link falls off because the at high RPM the chain can swing side to side and the lip of the chain tensioner can unclip it.

[@keithbrettell2058]

Keep everything the same colour as the frame. I like the utility/no frills look of the beige. #militaryminibike #desertcamobeige

[@32calvinboone]

I see RBG go in bro that bike look cool 🙂🙂🙂

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Hot Canon29 thanks man

+KrayJay Dyna LRS -'17 thank you brother

[@patrickferguson7057]

Mine also came with no clip on master link. Ran it that way for several hours before realizing

[@kbakeritsallaboutnobody.5761]

Sounded like u possibly had sinus issues. If so I hope you feel better. I think u should go with a vintage army color theme with flat olive green as the primary color and flat black as the secondary or accent color. Awesome video btw!👍

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+ken baker yeah had some jacked up sinuses during this.

[@wesleybowen7790]

Paint the motor grey with a go power sports sticker

[@imamthememeyes9841]

Love your vids

[@BW-fz5kf]

Paint it red for red beards garage

[@rickmelkonian5273]

Nice job. I’m thinking of doing this Coleman mini bike. Looks like fun. How about a golf cart electric to gas, a cart with lots of speed. And more torque. Thank you RBG great work and videos on how to.

[@dademade_jayy]

Paint it black

[@Mrhilljack]

Good build there.. i had a baja mini very much like the coleman. Wish I hadnt sold it at the petit jean mtn swap meet now.. but tripled my money..guy really wanted it so he didnt have to walk the whole swap meet area up there. Should have just rented it to him prolly.. what do you think of stretching the frame a little bit.. just a lil more wheel base? Raise the fork tower area up some maybe.. no chopper type thing though just longer like the Rokon bikes.. Im not a small man either.. my knees have no room on these.. i have other bikes.. yamaha zuma and my 83 honda passport kinda a tossup.. but i still like this mini bikes.. they are just fun.. make ya fell like a kid again Maybe is why they appeal so much.

[@kevinyancey958]

Hey Red Beard, I added electric start to my Predator 212 4000w generator. I'm not sure if you know how and what parts to do it with, as I haven't found anyone explaining the process it posting videos. What I ended up with, was a 7hp Kohler (Honda clone) ringed flywheel with the Honda GX200 starter and key switch kit. Because my generator already had a 12 volt 8.3A outlet, I just tapped it to charge the battery. The key switch has a diode on the brown wire, to prevent battery drain. I have pictures, if you'd like to see. I still need to get a battery holder, but I made a temporary one in the meantime.

[@samanthatorres4914]

Yea I seen that kit you are talking about was hoping that it could be adjusted and didn't think that gps would sell that kit without a couple jets if may need them let me know I live in central Alabama not high altitude and Shirley if somebody is buying a Mikuni they probably already have a header just would like tosolve it because I can see it would be freaking awesome with a powerful motor in that carburetor with the pre-filter when I throttle it up it will actually suck it in LOL

[@spencerhanisko8343]

[@LootGhoul12]

What was the first beat called at the begining? Thanks

Painted olive green it would match

[@waynedavis2505]

[@Deucealive75]

Why did you change out the engine, electric start? IMO you should have tried it with the 72 tooth sprocket first. You could easily fab an adaptor to mount the original tank. I made one to adapt the Coleman tank to an old Greyhound and I'm not good with fab work.

[@georgehayduke6717]

White frame . Red.tank and fenders to go with blue engine.

[@drakehensiak7945]

Paint it red because your name is"READ BEARD GARAGE"

[@85square]

U didn't even spell it right

[@MacroMachines]

great video as usual! and just a suggestion to consider: I think you could make your videos more watchable if you incorporated time lapse style video while your working. it takes longer to film, but most people find it more entertaining to watch which would increase you watch time. just a consideration tough, keep up the great work!

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I use to do that and I stopped because I put enough in so you get the idea of what I did in the parts I cut

[@alexkasady9600]

Why not mount the battery between the engine & rear fender? That'll keep it nice & low and out of the way. Also, why not fabricate a 'real' gas tank, one mounted above the top frame tube? That way you won't be restricted for size & capacity.

[@bitterend2603]

You should go with black and kawasaki green

[@RobertPerrigoOkiechopper]

Electric Blue & bright yellow, So a hunter won't shoot you. ( Did you get the tool yet?)

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+OKIE CHOPPER I will check the po box today

[@k.r.v.4219]

As far as colors go, I'd paint the engine and frame the same desert tan, with green and brown camo like the fenders and tank/storage compartment! With aluminum handlebars. Then all controls and switches in black. Then as far as the gas tank? I would remove the only on the engine. Then try to add one inside that compartment! Or remove that also and find a nice aluminum tank! Does that new engine have a governor? Is there s V Twin built to put in one? That would give more tq and hp, while sounding great!

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+K. R. V. To do a v twin you would about have to build your own frame

[@allisonmichelle8587]

Red Beard's Garage checkout carsandcameras video where they put a 670 on it I do believe with the same frame

[@Mennow208]

I wish i had A electric start On my bike

[@leoarreola1586]

Can u show how to change the light because I have one and I don't know. Would help a lot

Still waiting to get ours. It takes time to bring something to market.

[@solosoldier4569]

How do I connect my coleman headlight to the TC motor?

What do you think about those duromax engines? I need to get us one of them mikuni carbs to play with.

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+FireAndGasoline I'm not sure yet. Seems like no matter what I do I can't get it to really rev out.

[@FireAndGasoline]

Red Beard's Garage thats odd. Have you tried it with the original carburetor to see how it ran?

[@83Goldy]

Hey buddy. Can you help me by telling me wish cable is positive and negative on the headlight? There are two color, brown with white line and the green. Thank you!!

[@solosoldier4569]

Where you able to connect your Coleman headlight to the TC motor?

[@carterclark239]

Paint the whole thing a shiny black

[@donaldbailey8483]

Like watching you man. My question is are you glad you got the coleman CT200U - EX ? I mean would you have rather brand of mini bike. Do you think this one is the most adjustable, workable, fixable..... worth the money ?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+Donald Bailey I like it a lot. The trail master bike is my favorite. It has rear suspension

[@pussyhunter5150]

Hello. Mr red beard. I love seeing your video's. I am working on a go kart. Predator 212cc. I have removed the governor. Put a electric start. I bought a flywheel and charging coil. Now I want to run lights. Led light. My coils have brown cables. I have installed a voltage regulator retifuer. But I am not getting the 12v volts. Mine flywheel has three magnets. One outside two inside. I am thinking is the coils. Can someone help me. Please.

[@NoWay-vz9xw]

RBG, it is time to get ignorant and put a gsxr-750 engine on one of your carts.

[@alexkasady9600]

Why did you route the exhaust pipe over to the right side of the bike? Why not go straight back with it, along the left side? Or through the rear frame tubes?

[@jditty8708]

Thinking of getting one of these to get around in the deer lease ... I dont have 10k for a side by side

[@kingavegarage8722]

keep the camo, motor black, and all accent black. Imo. Other than the tank, what's the difference from the Predators?

[@RedBeardsGarage]

+King Ave Garage nothing really

[@kingavegarage8722]

Why did ya not do a predator motor I'm looking at doing 3 builds for the family to use and I want reliable motor I have no welding equipment so I was looking at a predator 212 cause I want the ease of use power more torque than speed cause I'm bout 240 my wife's is 140 but what's your advice

[@RedBeardsGarage]

I wanted electric start and predators do not have that. I will be doing a predator on the red bike at a later date

[@briangoode8519]

Red Beard's Garage ok thank you for your response is there a benefit to electric start and cant wait to see the red done btw any thoughts on the trailmaster mb200 version with front and rear suspension thats the other one im looking at

[@bwxmoto]

I'm gonna guess with the engine tuned up, governor still in place, and 60t, you'll get up to about 46, maybe 48mph, maybe 49mph on a long straight.

[@mikeotero4276]

Hey RBG I have a question why do you use 1 inch spacers. I have the same bike threw a 212 and when I take off the motor vibrates a lot. Any suggestions bud.

[@jg1746]

Hopefully you can see this comment because I need some help; I have a Canadian powerfist engine with an electric start I got for dirt cheap but I’m struggling on how to start the engine with the battery; the cable starts to smoke on the battery when I turn the engine on?
