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. 🏁

Another huge problem with the stock ones which really isn't their fault is that when pushing the engine over their rev ranges the car can't keep up and it'll start leaning out, found that out by taking meat out of the governor

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?

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?

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.

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!.

That's awesome. Thank you. I first got hip to your channel through searches about those 4 stroke engines. I use to be into the 2 stroke engine builds for bicycles. I did a 600 mile trip and just got tired of having to work on them all the time. Anyways i have a 136cc im wanting to use on my bike now, with a death row torque converter. It will only work if i mount it vertical. So i l, like you want to use a different carburetor and was wondering is it ok to leave the governor alone? Im not going to use a billet flywheel, because i want to use parallel charging coils for 12v lights and battery charger. I kinda dont wanna open it up and i don't mind the revs limited, if it even will be limited by not using all that garbage linkage. Thanks for the video 🙂

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.

So what carb did you use? VM22 knock off or the VM26 Mikuni?

I'm confused, just installed a Mikuni 22 on my Predator 212. 1 - Now, it runs great when the lever with rubber tip is up. Does that mean the choke is off? 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 :). (The engine is brand new, I removed the oil sensor and governor). Why did they put the idle screw waaay under the carb? Hard to get to.

First you have port and polish the intake to make a difference no matter how big your carb is the intake Is small only so much air can get in

Quick question when you bypass the governor do you put the throttle cable to the mikuni or keep it on the governor
@kevinmcneil3693

What about the linkage for the governor on the old carb? What do you do with it? The mikuni does not have a place to hook it to.

Whats the bottom hole on the carburator where it mounts to the manifold adapter. The plastic gasket doesn't cover the hole and gas pours out. Should I make a gasket to cover hole and clamp it down with the plastic Spacer gasket the one with o-ring

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? Would I gain any performance? It runs really good with the stock carb but I see everyone seems to like the mukuni carbs.

Hey man that barrel you said just screws on the cable, what would that be called exactly and where would i find one? I just ordered a mikuni and my throttle cable does not have that barrel on the carb side, so this part you speak of is fairly important. Any help is much appreciated my dude thank you and god bless

Some times on bikes you need to clock the carb to keep it upright. Thats where the float in the carb will work correctly.
