One can put two regular charging coils on these, and a 12volt 4 wire regulator and get brighter lights with higher output because it has a full wave rectifier.

Tip flywheel removal, take a brass hammer and give it one good wap to the end of the crank shaft. Usually comes right off.

[@stuartshomepc]

You MUST put the flywheel nut on BEFORE hitting the crankshaft! That reduces any risk of damaging the threads.

Neat. Im trying figure out how to charge a motorcycle battery from a 79cc lifan. My phatmoto got lights, now just needs a charging system.🤔🍻

[@THOMASTHESAILOR]

Nice Job. You can wind your own coils, they're only a coil of wire.. Take an old one apart, unwind it, and count the number of turns it takes to remove the whole wire.. If ya rewind it with longer wire (more turns) you'll get more voltage.. if ya rewind it with larger gage wire, you'll get more amperage. . either way = MORE POWER ! Then you can add a tail light, and fog lights,

[@balabay77]

[@TH-on7qn]

Good video brother. When I take a flywheel off one engine and put them on another I like to use lapping compound to make sure the surfaces are perfectly mated. Those things spin fast, it really reduces the risk of something going wrong.

[@ChrichtonLeprechaun]

I think any Chinese clone engines are copies of engines that begin with “H” and no parts are actually shared or made in the same factory. Honda manufactures their own components (mostly) and has very high standards for the quality of each and every component that goes into their engines. The materials are better, the castings, machining, tolerances are tighter and much closer to their engineers design specifications. They have taken great care in the design, engineering and manufacturing of their engines. This attention to detail and adherence to their own standards of quality has earned Honda engines their now legendary reputation for quality, dependability and longevity. Chinese manufacturers have simply stolen a proven design that works to churn out in mass quantities. They prioritize quantity over quality and cut corners at every step, beginning with metalurgy and continuing all the way to assembly. As decent as predator motors CAN be, in most cases at least, they are not in the same league as Honda. I highly doubt you would find a Honda motor that didn’t run, right out of the box. This is not an extremely uncommon occurrence with the predators. Don’t get me wrong, they’re usually great for the money but they are one of the best examples of “You get what you pay for.” There’s a reason they are as low as 20% the cost of a Honda and it’s not because Honda is just greedy. I’ve heard people refer to Honda motors as “ridiculously overpriced.” It’s funny, I’ve never heard anyone refer to them as ridiculously over engineered, ridiculously reliable, ridiculously resilient, ridiculously easy to start or lasting a ridiculously long time. The most common issue with Honda small engines is the cheap Chinese replacement parts people buy, thinking they’re just as good. In Japanese culture, they’re not as concerned with ones trade as they are the craftsmanship of the tradesman. It’s honorable to take great pride in what you do and to always strive for perfection. You do so knowing absolute perfection is impossible. However, if perfection is always your goal, you will always be improving. This is how one becomes a master of their trade. Unfortunately, you have different philosophies and motivations while under the iron fist of a totalitarian dictatorship. I look forward to the day when China (and the rest of the planet) are free from the tyranny of those so desperately needing to feel in control. (Obviously they’re overcompensating for something they feel is extremely lacking).

[@tristan6509]

Nah they are actually overpriced in the US In my country, a genuine thai GX160 is $250, the Jialing version $190, and the plastic shrouded GP160 $160. In the US I've seen the thai version go for like $600 which is nuts, that's almost enough money to buy a brand new 110cc Honda wave/revo motorcycle.

@@tommyhajimoto6968 without the regulator, it depends on revs. If the system is designed to work with a voltage regulator, then magneto produces higher than 12v voltage (so the regulator will have enough energy on low rpms). On my bike, for example, it produces around 60v before regulator rectifier... However, if a system wasn't designed to work with regulator, then it should produce in vicinity of 12v AC on max revs. You just have to measure what you have in your case, before plugging in any electrical devices.

Question with the original fly will not work on the new charging cord. What I’m saying is I bought new charging coils and a rectifier, but do I need to also buy a new fly will

[@balabay77]

You’ll need a flywheel with magnets on the outside which produce energy for spark plug and magnets on the inside of the flywheel which produce electricity for your headlight. Original flywheel that comes from the factory only has magnets on the outside that’s why it won’t work. In other words, you’ll probably need a new flywheel if your motor isn’t pre-wired to supply electricity to your headlight. Thanks for watching and commenting.

What about a voltage regulator? You don't want lights dimming and growing bright with variations in engine speed.

[@hansevensen8426]

He'd need to install a battery and a voltage rectifier to have a voltage regulator be useful. It isn't really worth the effort. All you would get is a headlight that is bright at idle until the battery drains itself to idle voltage. I could argue that a voltage rectifier is a much more useful modification to make, converting the power to DC is easier on the bulbs, and DC power in general is more useful in this application, but even that's not necessary. There are thousands of these little Doodle bugs running away with AC power lighting the headlight. In the end doing nothing is probably best. No use modifying it, unless you wanted to run say an air pump, or a phone charger

А тут и старый мотор подвернулся у которого всё было в сборе. Новые моторы у нас очень дёшево стоят потому что у них нету динамки. Слепили колхоз из двух моторов и всё заработало. Жил бы ты по соседству то мы бы твой байк вместе забацали и прокатались бы с ветерком.

Новый движок это класс!

Retro Moto Bodya У нас новые моторы дёшево стоят потому что у них нету динамки которая вырабатывает ток. Так вот пришлось заколхозить Двиг чтобы фара работала.

How many volts and watts does that coil put out?

[@smallengine]

Luke Hansen it puts out an unsteady amount depending on the rpm the engine is running, you will need some kind of current regulator for the amount of voltage you would like.

[@lukehansen9185]

At full throttle would it run 2 18w lights?

[@smallengine]

Luke Hansen, probably, you can check the output with a volt meter to see what’s its putting out with normal throttle.

I have an original honda gx160 and i want to put charging coil in it to have a power source... Do i also need to replace the original flywheel? Will the charging coils fit with the original flywheel?

[@adamwaugh5621]

Why didn't you use the new flywheel

[@mikem.9197]

I don't think the new one had the magnets for the charge coils.

[@ChristopherJones16]

@@mikem.9197 I wished he showed the two flywheels side-by-side. He made his video too quick without constructing an outline for his presentation or else he wouldve made sure to cover as much content as possible since hes going to be taking two motors apart.. might as well compare many of their parts right? Heck he couldve cleaned up the parts really well and made uploaded this video in parts getting him more views and of course the LIKE$$$

Now add a stop light and turn signals 😏

[@coburnlowman]

Was there a huge difference in performance between the little 160cc compared to tbe 212cc? I'm redoing a Baja and plan to put a new 212cc on her.

[@balabay77]

Phil Lowman Yes sir, predator engines are well build and usually run great for a while. If they run solid right out of the box and there’s no issues with carb than it’s a keeper. 212 is definitely much more powerful than 163cc. If it makes you feel better about your purchase than get a warranty for it. Good luck and let us know how your motor swap turns out.

[@coburnlowman]

I've been buying and using these HarborFreight engines since they were Blue color "Grey Hounds". If an old model Briggs gives any trouble at all I'll swap it out for one of these. Its just that I haven't used one of the 212's on anything that you ride for speed. I've only used them for boring old man stuff like garden tractors , garden tillers , wood splitters. The only thing is that they have a super bad habit of cranking on the first or second pull every time. Oh and they have a problem of only burning a small fraction of the gas that Briggs , Kohler burns doing the same job. Predator should give me a royalty check for selling so many of these engines. People will ask me to work on their old small farm stuff. I'll show them the old Grey Hound on the wood splitter and everyone known how hard I use it and even tho the sheet metal pull shroud is falling off and I gotta hold it up so the rope thingy will engage the flywheel to start. After explaining the only thing its had was an ignition coil because its never spent a night inside , well they gladly pay $100.00 for a Preditor and toss the ancient technology they had. But as said I have just never put one on a minibike of go kart.

[@balabay77]

Phil Lowman Glad to hear those greyhounds are so dependable. I had the same luck with predators but there were 2 engines that ran hard and couldn’t idle properly right out of the box. Returned them and got another engines without any issues. I’m sure Honda’s are better quality but predators work just as well for 1/3 of the price. Cheers.

[@timm.6391]

balabay77 I think they are the hondas that didn't pass Honda quality check... almost but not quite a Honda... but damn good enough for 99 bucks.

[@kxlucifer]

@@timm.6391 Greyhounds ,predator,duramax,and list go on are honda clones

[@holeshotjr27]

Why do some have 1 coil with 1 wore and some have 2 coils with 2 wires? What's the voltage output of your charging coils you used?

[@Schillsifer]

Where did you get that harness that goes to the charging coil to the light???

[@Miklalo]

Nice work

[@balabay77]

Mik lalo Thanks buddy. Glad you enjoyed our video.

[@bradley1995]

New intake and exhaust would do that engine a huge gain. You've got the rest already. Maybe 8 degree timing key and new carb, port polish. Cheap stage 2

[@solosoldier4569]

Will the 196cc predator flywheel fit a 212 predator flywheel?
