Predator 212 complete tear down

Today I show you how to complete disassemble a 212 hemi predator! Nothing else to it! Watch the video to see how she goes!

Thank you! This was helpful as I disassemble an old motor that was on an air compressor to clean it up.

That's without doubt a rebranded Loncin engine after watching the teardown (G210F by the looks). Explains why they are renowned since Loncin make great small engines and are probably the best of the Chinese small engine manufacturers. You might be able to get cheaper parts for the Predators if you search for them under the Loncin name.

Yep it sure is a loncin, I think they make a 196cc version of it as well.

[@19jacobob93]

@gonewronggarage4565 I find it crazy how Loncin can produce these things with such high quality for the price. When I was shopping around a few years ago, the equivalent Briggs had plastic cams, and I don't even think it had an iron sleeve, yet it cost double!

Really great job. Thank you Sir. I learned a lot.

[@gonewronggarage4565]

No problem, glad to hear you could learn from the video.

[@06vinnie]

do you have to take out the rod completely to take out the crank?

[@huckmac7982]

What was the first hose you removed? I got a performance carb and don't know where to put it or if I should plug it

[@rexisretro]

Yes sir

[@gamefreakdanielBIGD]

Thank you so much helped out alot

[@mclay3482]

Very informative... but was it necessary to remove the woodruff key?

[@lyonsvibes4398]

Thank you

[@Deucealive75]

18 HP? Are you going to use the hemi head?

[@gonewronggarage4565]

It should make Atleast 18hp with the mods I’m gonna do and yes I’m gonna use the hemi head...after all that’s why I bought the hemi

[@philliphall5198]

Is the coil the same as Honda GX ???

[@dolodomi2935]

Is the crankshalf replaceable

[@gonewronggarage4565]

Yes

[@dolodomi2935]

Can you send me a link on which one I should get for mine ?

[@nickbrege6695]

"I can't stress this enough ... try to keep everything clean" as he does his disassembly on a dirty driveway. Get a workbench son...

[@gonewronggarage4565]

Garage was swept but some leaves blew in..all the parts were never sat on the ground and went straight into ziploc bags then put into a clean crate..I work with what I got the best I can but I do need a bench

Hey what ever happened with getting a Torque Converter for your Mini Bike ? In the other video you did where you were replacing the old stock Chain with a New 420 Chain you mentioned you were gonna be getting a Torque Converter from Go Power Sports in a Month and you said you'd be making a video on that install but I'm guessing that never happened since I can't seem to find it ? Really need a good step by step instructional video on how to do the Torque Converter install and anything else that comes with putting on a new torque converter like possibly needing to add a Riser Plate first and even taking off the old clutch assembly to make room for new Torque Converter. I'm a newbie at this stuff and need all the help I can get.

[@gonewronggarage4565]

Gopowersports screwed me over..I never received the thing..they kept telling me the same shit that it was on back order and they would ship it in a few days then they wouldn’t answer their phone ever Almost like they had my number blocked or something then like 3 months later they finally answered and I was mad as hell and they said they no longer had the order in their data base but they would still issue a refund and guess what! I NEVER GOT MY MONEY BACK!!! I’ll never do business with them again

[@gonewronggarage4565]

But as far as I know you can either trim the bottom of the torque converter plate or put it on risers and you also have to cut off the chain guard mount

[@alberto04ification]

Has it ever been ran?

[@gonewronggarage4565]

Nope

[@PRR5406]

Not a comment on you or your technique, but I took one apart today, and I've never seen such a piece of junk! I would never purchase a Harbor Freight gasoline engine.

[@gonewronggarage4565]

Well they seem ok to me! What makes you think that?
