For everyone wondering the adapter size is 48. You also just take off you carb and measure the difference between the bolts

[@darylmartin3108]

How long can the adaptor be and can it have slight bend

[@elesjuan]

That one cart runaway video is one of my favorites... but only because you guys got control and nobody got hurt! Stay safe!

[@mechworks9834]

Thank you carsandcameras!

[@makingmark818]

Great vid guys.. keep on cranking them out!

[@CarsandCameras]

We're making a dissection video to figure out what went wrong!

[@Tokes232]

CarsandCameras it'll be fiiiinnne!

[@sagecomstock7385]

CarsandCameras rain drop, rod knock, there's a hole in my engine block😂

[@aguyontheinterwebs3576]

CarsandCameras can I use the makuni with a non hemi

[@Mac830302]

My guess is that when it ran too lean and got hot the piston wasn't liking it and that was why it lost power and later threw a rod.

[@nathanbutler8240]

CarsandCameras what size was the carb? i wonder if it could of "hydrolocked" to much fuel in the cylinder. it should of held together i would think unless you had bearing failure

[@docpedersen7582]

Biggest advantage of the Mikuni carb is the quick and easy jet adjustments. Stock carb has NO adjustments, save physically swapping jet. Fell in love with Mikunis back in the 70s with my Kawasaki A7SS, which had two. Still have those carbs although the bike is long gone.

[@colin1732]

Hey guys loving the vids keep them up

[@Dew_6.7]

Hey! I bought the same air filter from go power sports! for my 150cc Go Cart, and i absoulutely love it! and it makes it go faster then the stock one!

[@tnctbone]

Is it thay big of a difference. I currently have the stage 1 upgrade kit. Would this be worth the investment kn my mini bike

[@robertgentry7752]

i watched like almost all of your videos you guys are good at what u do keep making videos

[@1aday580]

really enjoyed the step by step video

[@kendesign3622]

That's pretty funny, your main sponsor your good old pals at go power sports sent you a knock off chinese clone of a Mikuni carb. That's awesome!

[@mickvk]

That was solid gold!

[@509minibikes]

big fan of you guys learn sum everyday i watch your guys videos every day !

[@ScooterPoot]

Thanks this will come in handy for me.

[@minecraftgaurdian9363]

This channels great keep it up

[@CarsandCameras]

Thanks!

[@michaeldiaz2141]

Not gon cap this helped me alot

[@420brownies95]

This was so Helpful

[@Ratkill9000]

Well they say when you replace the rod, replace the flywheel and the valve springs so your not limited to 5300rpm. When the valves are upgraded you can see 6500+.

[@ryan.b1861]

The valves are rated to 6500 rpms anyway

[@spikemandan]

you guy's just answered your own question need that billet aluminum rod's! if you going to stage 3 it do it too the max

[@EricHernandez-qu9jx]

But if it’s still governed should it still be a problem. I’m about to put one on a stock predator. I have one on my Coleman 196 ct200u and haven’t had any problems.

[@leviemaehilario]

you need part 2 on this!

[@koreywilliams4570]

Can you do a more in depth video about the mikuni carburetor? Like how to properly tune it,clean it or change the jets 🤔 maybe basic troubleshooting. Please and thank you. I would greatly appreciate it.

[@dibarel]

Hi love your Vids

[@austinross8996]

If you take the choke lever out the carb the post on the top is made for plugging the fuel line.

[@yourfactstory]

Thanks guys!!

[@jacobhothouse1311]

Do I have to remove the governor or can I just leave the arm in the block and just take the assembly off

[@Tokes232]

"HEEELLLLPPP!!" Best line of the episode

[@Sean-kg7vh]

Ha. Got me too. A Natural character.

[@eliastrejo5989]

Yeah. Lol

[@TheRamGuy]

I ordered the same kit from GPS for my modded Hemi. When I started the engine it sounded like it wanted to rev full throttle. Did you have to make any other adjustments on yours besides the needle valve. Finally when you push the plunger down is that choke on or off. Keep reading conflicting statements. Thanks and keep the great videos coming

[@HarrisonBennett]

2:56, "You ripped my gasket... sorry dawg." LOL

[@zogthegreat]

This is a good video, but like the others, nobody shows how to connect the overflow tubes. Can you guys show us how to properly hook up the tubes? Thanks!

[@christopherwilliams8423]

Skill is in the jetting

[@johnwinter7819]

Hi great vids

[@connerjohnson9104]

Make more vids like this!!

[@WildfoxFabrication]

i just installed a genuine mikuni on my minibike, but the gasoline inlet is short and way bigger than my fuel line it’s a good centimeter wide. i was able to jerry rig something that works but i’d still like to know why it had this. oh, the inlet was on the opposite side too. Thanks

[@noah2016999]

What jetting is this carb using? What size main and pilot?

[@charleslowe1426]

What about bigger jets how do you tune the carb after the bigger jets are installed?

[@thisdude8810]

God damn we got Fred durst and Rob Schneider showing me how my Japanese carb works. WHAT A TREAT! Solid vid tho thanks dudes

[@gimmel11]

So I know you probably get a lot of these questions. But I have a kohler cv 20 engine and I want to put either a single or dual mikuni carbs on what size do y’all think I need?! Thanks for your help!

[@matthewlandin4271]

Thanks!

[@Terquish]

What adapter size do I get when buying it on the website? I also have a Predator 212 Hemi

[@shadough_]

CarsandCameras when you buy the Mikuni carburetor, can you choose what length of throttle cable you want? I have a mini bike and I'm not 100% sure if the throttle cable will reach and if it'll fit.plz help!

[@osquad1346]

Please do more off-road gokart builds I like them more than these short how tos

[@tristanaplanalp3860]

So for the fuel line on these you can you both top ports on it for your line and the bottom one I just put a filter?

[@cedricbridge7870]

Please re due this topic were you discuss were the lines coming from the engine should go onto th carb. I personal woumdering were you hook up the line that comes out of the ohv assembly and what do you do with the second fuel in line coming from the bottom of the carb?

[@bainmccartney685]

That exact Vm22-3847 chineese ripoff carb seems to piss gas everywhere out of the air filter. Any help would be great.

[@jackwilliams4046]

So no one gonna talk about how he said “there’s your stud” then the other guy said “no I’m right here?” 3:34😂😂😂

[@dierrickyoung5501]

@Mamie Deblasio your joking

[@XXSN3AKYxKILLAX]

How’d you expose so much cable from the housing ?

[@acmadniturner1668]

does it come with free rodknock or is that optional?

[@chargerfish1]

How does a stock 212 run with a Mikuni? I just like Mikunis better because im more familiar with them. So i was thinking of doing this on my minibike.

[@jmccutc89]

Do I have to use the cable that comes with the carb or can I use my stock cable? I have a monster Moto 212.

[@southwestxnorthwest]

Hey guys, great video. Would this kit work on a Predator/Honda clone 420? I'm not positive but I believe the carburetor on the 420cc engine is 30-34mm. Oh, one other question; if your rod wasn't billet, is it cast aluminum?

[@MississippiMudMX]

Which video has the kart running away

[@jackspurlock8291]

Hey, just so happens, I bought this, and just so happens I lost the hardware as well. Happen to know what size nuts and bolts I need?

[@milosprso9378]

Hey I have a problem I've been trying to adjust my needle valve for more fuel but it's not adjustable PLZ help

[@almeidaracing6233]

[@jays.hairtimes4710]

[@clubhousewegotcontent7111]

[@shawnclark8031]

[@harleyhafley5070]

[@sergiogonzalez3307]

whats the main purpose of a mikuni carb plss i need help n with it work better then the stock with drill jet n to install the mikuni will i meed to removetje governor thankx plss reply

[@jayssontansey6832]

I bought a kart with a used predator. I was told it was cammed with heavier valve springs. It needed a carb so I ordered a mikuni kit. Will I need to Re-jet at all? It also has aftermarket exhaust

[@stevenlocke4769]

What cam did you install and the hp output afterwards?

[@TheClintmeister]

I got a predator with a billet flywheel, billet rod, more duration cam and a 24mm carb. I can't get my carb to jet out properly. Whats your jetting?

[@ryanwelch64]

Would it be ok to just upgrade the exhaust and the carb without upgrading the cam and the rod

[@NOAH_HINMAN]

do you have to take the governor gear out or can you just take the linkage off someone plz respond

[@marcelovespa1725]

Hello what do you use to put the fuel tank in uper position,sorry for my english

[@BradFFA]

Question does this eliminate the governor please respond

[@jakescorpion1]

Wow that gets rid of all the garbage linkage. Sweet

[@oldguyjohnretrolifestyle9281]

I bought a Mikuni carb off of ebay and it bolted right into the intake with the manifold adapter it came with, the issue im having is the the carb has what looks like two vent ports and 1 port for the gas line on the upper side of the carb, and I have gas pouring out of either the side where the air cleaner clamps onto the intake large hole, or the gas drains out from the bottom port for a line--what lines goes to the two ports on the upper side of the carb, and can the port directly on the bottom be blocked off or where does the line port on the bottom of the carb go to ?

[@GENERALCHAOS13]

Make a Brand Battle Royal Predictor 212 vs Tellason 212 vs Magnum 212

[@koreywilliams4570]

So I just got my mikuni today and it looks different than yours. Mines also a Japanese mikuni. Is it the same process?

[@jeromejones5174]

It was simply just time for the rod to go because it had alot of wear on it maybe. SHIT HAPPENS in the go-cart world.... That's the fun of it, fixing them back up.

[@jeromejones5174]

Hey,y'all ever seen Big foot during riding in the woods, What's the scariest experience you had, Love your videos keep them coming....

[@chriskeevert7332]

I have a predator 212 (hemi), billet flywheel, billet rod, mod2 cam, billet lifters, stainless steel valves and chromoly push rods. I installed a 26mm mikuni carb, when I start the bike the back tire immediately begins to spin, I've adjusted both screws and it does nothing, what do I need to do?

[@919motorsports4]

so if you use this carb does the governor have to be removed? because the arm wont hook up anymore...

[@PitbikeUpload]

In what position the choke lever has to be, when i will drive?

[@SturdyProductions]

What are the metal plates called that you have to extend your gas tank??

[@randymanuel8932]

I have a hemi predator 212 with governor removed, header exhaust. Right now I have stock carb that I upgraded the Jets in. Would it be worth my time and money to get a vm22 kit?

[@bainmccartney685]

Yo i need help... on my go powersports mikuni carburetor i pulled out the throttle sleeve assembly and there is a spring clip that was sitting loose inside the sleeve? It deasnt appear to be in the correct position? Any help with this would be great

[@oneoldjimmy1]

Ever think of doing a Nibbi vs VM22 carb comparison?

[@dayglowgreendoor]

Can you guys buy gas there with no ethanol? Might help with fuel going bad.

[@rzr7103]

What material does a gasket need to be can like a half and half bottle work

[@tilvalhalla9343]

Does anywhere sell a Angled intake manifold adaptor that points the assembly back so when the bike falls the air filter and carb dont break on the ground?

[@RyanStonedonCanadianGaming]

I hope "itllbefine"

[@brandinmarsh7516]

[@pauls5745]

I want to hop up my honda clone. It's a Lifan 118cc 4hp, and some Predator 79cc and 212 parts fit, but what about a billet con rod? I don't want to throw a rod when I remove the governor. everyone says there is no rod for 79cc, so what rod should I look for?

[@gofastfilms2519]

[@koreywilliams4570]

[@Staysilly78]

[@calaintshi]
