One thing to be aware of when installing this carb to that intake manifold. (at least with the one I have which is probably the same one everybody has..GPS or GSP is written on it...) The O-ring on the carb is really close to the same size of the opening on the intake. You really need to install the carb on the intake before you install the intake to the engine. That way you can look into the intake and center it up on the O-ring for a symmetric fit when clocking the carb. I bet if you looked inside that intake from the side that mounts to the engine looking toward the carb, It would be off center in relation to the O-ring and the opening in general. You can end up with an intake leak.

Ok yes this is what is Happening with mine after install … it looked lined up but when I started it was bogging then it started leaking fuels from around the filter … so do I need to align it again ?????

Thank you so much I did not know the O-ring is suppose to be centered with the intake pipe. Now that makes sense why you install the Carburator onto the intake onto the head engine in this order. I was having trouble getting my engine to run from reving up on its own and abnormal rpms adjusting my idle and air screw when I disassembled my intake from the head I did notice the o-ring on my carb was pinching on the bottom more than anywhere else around the circumference. I hope to get another chance getting my bike to run Thank You for this comment. 🏁

hey red beard i was wondering if you could maybe make a short vid on how to tune the mikuni. i have a 212 also. mods are: mikuni 22mm, header, no gov, black mamba cam, billet flywheel, 26lb springs, arc rod, fuel pump& filter, i had the 130 main & 17.5 pilot in it but i put the stock jets back in. and ive tried moving the clip all the way up and down, ive screwed the air/fuel screw on the bottom of the carb all the way out to lean it out as much as possible and still every time i pull the plug its pitch black. it idles and runs fine tho. it doesnt cut out or backfire i can rev it to the moon and it keeps on going and doesn't fall flat. i just cant figure out why im still fouling the plug?. so yea man any info would help. oh yea and once the plug starts to foul of course it gets harder to start and i get (ALOT) of white smoke from the exhuast everytime i go to crank it. i thought white smoke was a lean problem??? so yea lol as you can see im a little confused. im assuming theres no way in hell the stock jets on the mikuni are to big for the mods i have. so yea any info you can give on how to tune these things would be much appriciated!. thank you!.

I got a mikuni carb for my predator 212cc. I have an aftermarket pipe. The carb is clean. It acts like it doesn't want to start. Then when I do get it started it idles high. I tried messing with the idle screw. Nothing. I tried messing with the air fuel mix screw. It makes it sound choppy. But it still idles high. I stood behind the bike and it throws the exhaust like baseballs. You can feel it hit you from 15ish feet back. But the 2nd I apply idle, it dies. But if I do a fast idle. It will go really high. My torque converter exploded. So I've only done it once.

Hey awesome build! Questions; do I have to get a billet flywheel and/or change valve springs just to safely remove the governor? Why 22mm carb? Why not like 30? Should I go with just a straight race clutch or 30 series torque converter? Why are they called TAVs? Are the "Stage" kits kind of a waste, being that you can order everything separate? I just got my predator 212 and installed it in a engine-less Baja(um I think...it only has one downtube on the frame and it has a bicycle style seat setup and no racks or anything so really I don't know by looking at the different types which one it is) I got super cheap. I'm thinking of just doing the easy bolt on stuff, filter, mikuni carb, header, the 80ish dollar torque converter on Amazon, then I have a used chain it came with, and the the back sprocket looks alright. Then I was gonna do the governor bypass, the one where you move the spring not the zip tie method. Any suggestions or tips?

I've been researching this and there are opposing answers. 2 - it starts best in the mid position then I flip up, is that normal? Thanks :).

Thanks for the kind reply. Actually, I am interested in purchasing a set of main jets (assortment of different sizes), to fine-tune the engine. I will be running the predator 212-Mikuni at high altitude (~6000 feet above sea-level), so a large main jet is likely not ideal for my setup (i.e., out-of-the-box, the fuel mixture of the Mikuni may be too rich at top end).

On gopowersports the mikuni kit gives you the decision of getting a 48 or a 65 mm adapter. What size do I need to get for 212? Or does it matter?

That’s not a Mikuni that go Powersports is selling it’s a replica and it can be had on eBay for 30 bucks however the intake that comes with that kit is a good product but the kit that they sell is extremely overpriced considering the carburetor is a replica

They actually tell you its a replica to get a genuine you gotta pay 40 more bucks i hate to say but gopowersports is a overpriced joke... actually whats funny is they sell on ebay bought a throttle cable off ebay cuz it was cheaper and free shipping came in a go powersports box had all the sticker and a receipt with gopowersports on it, you'd have to be damn fool to buy it off there website

+Brad S it is the overflow lines. You don't have to have them but I would recommend leaving them on it because if it overflows and gets on something hot it could catch on fire

Looks like a fun project! I have a baja warrior mini bike with a predator 212 and I really want to do some modifications to it. So far I've only put on a new high flow air filter. I plan on putting on this carb. What's the best top plate to use for this engine? What's a good external fuel tank (around 1 gallon) that I can mount on my mini bike? Do I need special fuel tubing to connect from my external fuel tank to the new carb? Thanks in advance. Love the channel.

When you add this carb to the engine and connect the throttle cable directly to the carb, are you bypassing the top plate? What breather and head cover do you have?
@RedBeardsGarage
@RedBeardsGarage 8 жыл бұрын
On the fuel line to use just go to a part store and pick some fuel line up that fits your barbs. I make most of my engine plates out of aluminum. You can buy a engine plate on ebay but you have to bend it some to make it work.

You may have to adjust it some. There is a screw on the side of the carb that you can adjust idle and air fuel ratios.
