Hi Greg, Brian from Florida here, really enjoying ALL of your videos especially your road to horsepower series. This series is answering alot of questions your average enthusiast may have but I would like to respectfully point out that the vm22 knockoff carb also known as the chikuni (chineese version of the Japanese mikuni) has an inside diameter of 26mm. Not 22mm. Like the original. This may explain the hp diffrence when compared to to the original. Lots of love here from Florida and God bless you too!
@Zebadiah36 Жыл бұрын
In your testing, are you dialing in jetting for each test? The genuine mikuni’s AFR seemed all out of whack at both WOT and idle. Super lean at idle, super fat at WOT. that could account for the power discrepancy between it and the clone vm22.

I really like the flat slide carb, and liked the looks of how smooth the graph looked on the dyno. Until GPS makes a 3 magnet billet flywheel, I'll be keeping my MTB under 5,000rpm. So far, I've done the stage 1 with re-jetting, and K&N style air filter, straight through exhaust, and zip tied the governor spring. In this configuration, My bike does 80km/h, or 50mph, and stays under 5,000rpm. This is max speed limit around where I live, and plenty fast enough to get trouble from the cops. I run a Harley LED headlight, and the tail light that looks like the back of an F-14 in LED, with running, turns, and break lights. I have 2 coils under the electric start flywheel, and a 12v battery under the motor mount plate. I usually charge up the battery for a few hours, before riding, and the charging system keeps the flashers working all day.

Not only does the flat-slide carb give the best peak power by far, the output is also the most consistent without the flat spots in the curve like all the other carbs. On top of that, it's making peak power way up high in the RPM range, which makes me think this carb will have the most headroom for adding more power mods down the road.

Great testing and very interesting, but did you test air fuel ratio of each carb to see if all of them are correctly tuned? If not then the results might be inaccurate and might explain why the original is making less power than to clone.
@CreeperOnYourHouse8 күн бұрын
I don't know if you notice, but after the stock carb, they're in order of AFRs, from rich to lean. The genuine mikuni ran at around 10-11, dipping into 9's, knockoff between 11-12, dipping into 10's, and the TM24 ran 13-14, dipping into 12's. You can run too much fuel, as this shows.

Any way we could see a video testing the chrome air filter vs the bigger K&N style filter using the velocity stack adapter that gopowersports sells?

RBG, buddy. Question for you or anyone who can answer it for me. I've got a knock, my con rod clearanced my crank perfectly, my flywheel is lapped perfectly, I've got a slight bit more crank end play than I'd like but didn't have spacers to be rid of it (didn't have any on hand durong build because they were forgotten about). Motor went together perfectly, no parts needed ground for fitment, motor runs good on stock carb, I put a mikubi clone Nibbi PE24 on her. She ran like crap, for a day or two of testing the new carb to tune it .. Put stock carb back on, now it has developed quite a loud knock, and a little extra vibrational shimmy that wasn't there in stock format, or when I did the early build. I did not remove the governor gear from the crank as it doesn't seem to interfere with any other parts internally so I left it installed. Today I am going to disnantle the engine and check for the knock source, this makes the second ARC rod I've had an issue with knock out of the box, despite both plastiguaged and micd cranks fitting the rods perfectly around the full pie of the diameter. I've built several engines before this without this issue, but they weren't predator variety, they were 2 stroke variety, and had different crank and bearing setup than this. 2 out of 2 motors with perdator 212 with stock length con rods that are knocking (I believe) right out of the box, despite the crank measuring perfect, andtge plastiguaged confirming the prescribed .25 to 0.3 thou of oil clearance. Torqued to 170 in-lb with oil as lube. Cranks cleaned manually before being oiled and installed
@honeybadgeractual5734 Жыл бұрын
I'd like to say I AM using an old old old clutch as well, and if I grabthe bell of the clutch (which is loose) and hold it with my hand, the knock is significantly quieter... I'm going to try running the motor at the shop with no clutch on it and seeif maybe my issue isn't this motor but maybe the old clutch. I use this bike as my ride to work every day, so far it's been reliable as all hell, in it's stock format. I'm considering buying a third motor and keeping it bone stock to use while perfect my building skills on my 2 experimental motors. My goal in the long run is to begin experiments with CDI, and stator replacements for the flywheel that will let it be able to charge a small battery for a basic light system and maybe a radio if the power output is good enough. Or an alternator on a pulley where the fuel tank used to sit
@honeybadgeractual5734 Жыл бұрын
Update on what has been found out. Galling on the bearing in the crank, and now more play than what it had during fitment by a lot. Case bearings fine, seems to be scratching in the cylinder bore from piston slap. The spark plug and piston face are white from the combination of being lean mix and that ridiculous 32 degree timing advance. (Stock carb, stock jet, didn't have time to wait for aftermarket.) From what I can see, the stock carband jet combined with the stupid timing advance caused detonation, which in turn is damaging the rod bearings. I am very upsetting spaghetti that I didn't think about the timing advance to begin with, and that the ONLY flywheels for the hemi have such a high level of advance to them that they will damage a mostly stock setup like that. Things to keep inind in my rebuild will be: that I need to find an acceptable way to retard the timing if I am trying to keep the stock carb and ignition timing. The reasoning say this is that the ONLY thing I didn't do to the tee was replace my carb with an after stock jet or carb. So I've been running very lean mix, and causing detonations during the exhaust stroke, which have caused the new con rod to be damaged. I think I am going to build some kind of a sliding plate mount for the coil to be moved forward or back to adjust for the timing difference. I think that by retarding my timing to stock, I should be able to eliminate the knock, with that and a slightly bigger jet. Alli want out of this motor is to remove the rev limiter, I'm not looking for top end rpms or super high performance, I'd likeslughtly better than stock performance, with billet parts that ensure safety and reliability. So far from ARC I have not seen the results I wanted, but I mostly blame that I didn't take the timing difference or the fuel into account before running the engine (as the bike IS my main mode of travel at this time.)

Really need to set up a wideband O2 sensor to be sure you're getting all you can out of each carb.

It has a wide band. If you look on the screen it’s under the dyno rpm.

@@RedBeardsGarage oh, ok. Well that's cool. Can't wait to see some big blocks on the Dyno once you're done with the 212/225s

Awesome Intel RBG ! Gonna rob the Predator 212 off my defunct log splitter to mod it for a Mega Moto 212 build. Will "caging" the governor spring with zip tie (temporarily) be similar to governor removal ? TY for your input. Or to others who know the answer.

I just subscribed to your channel sir because I feel that I can learn alot from you. I just bought the hurricaneX because of this channel. My question for you is what would be a good replacement motor for my bike and me being 6'2" at 225lbs. I just bought the ghost 212 but I'm thinking about putting that in my coleman bt200x. What motor out there would you suggest for me to build on? I'm coming from a big block 454 Chevelle and a 2011 6.7l Powerstroke f250 4X4 to mini bikes now, I'm hooked on these mini bikes because of your channel😁. Whatever you can suggest would be highly appreciated, thank you buddy.

I run Nibbi 30mm on most my bikes. 224s have great throttle response with the 30mm Nibbi's

30mm in my opinion is way to big. You will never be able to flow that much with the stock valves. I can test on but don’t think it will improve much.

when you chuck a cam in it, please use the VM22 Knock off... I would love to see the stock can v mod2 v fire 265 (hottest of the cheaper cams)
