How not to remove a Predator 212cc Governor

[@VasilyBuilds]

Sorry, my new videos are much better than this. I promise! *Just to clear up* My timing dots look disaligned, but were aligned. I had just given the pullstart a few yanks just to make sure everything clears. But 10 months later the block still runs fine to this day!!!

[@Nickael7]

Never use a steel hammer to take out the crankcase or other engine parts, you may crack the cover. When starting an engine put a wood plank underneath, never run an engine on a hard floor, you may crack the crankcase from the engine vibration.

[@GGaievski]

are you using the stock rod? i wanted to make a kart engine with my gx 160, but im afraid the rod will break

[@jakechunasamy9642]

Vasily Builds lmao I bought a 420cc preadator with my money and removed the governor and my neither helped me put it on my go kart

[@scrapwire1]

As a retired Machine tool mechanic of 48 years, now I'm building a cyclekart at age 65, I never grew up, I still love to go fast, I spent my life building and machining race engines, Never put the wrenches down, someone will always need someone that will get their hands dirty. I'm just changing the flywheel and rod so it doesn't blow up.

[@kbaxtre9290]

my cam fell out and these 2 longs things thats right next to the cam fall down i put them back and and lines my cam up and put the caseing back on and my bike is feeling easy to pull then it sound like it has low compression by the way its a new 212 any suggestion????

[@tommyrodriguez9683]

I have a predator 212 with a stage 1 kit I remove only the governor after an hour or two of riding it shuts off and have to wait like 5 minutes to cool down and it'll turn back on you think I would have to remove the governor sensor

[@johnwick-ii6il]

There is a washer on the governor shaft that appears to have fallen into the engine when you removed it. There is also a washer under that white part you pulled from the gov. gear, it can fall out if left in place.

[@joeytm____133]

Do you have to tourque the bolts

[@juanlamas5605]

How do you hook up the carb cable after removing all that stuff. On the stock carb though

[@bretmontgomery794]

@Juan Lamas u can ether use a top plate from gopowersports.com or get creative with the rod from the govenor arm to give throttle

[@juanlamas5605]

Thank you. I ended up modifying the throttle lever. To directly control the carb. I put the return spring on the bracket wear the governer use to be.

[@Everlastandgreen]

Buy a 40in throttle cable and buy a vm22 mikuni carberator. Both can be bought on amazon. KZbin videos on how to install them. Black66 makes a good mikuni carb video. This will also make you go way faster

[@TEXASpatriot76]

@Vasily builds. So on the 224 with a governor on I was able to get my mini bike to 42mph I just watched a video of someone taking theirs off and when the same speed. In your opinion what's the point bud?

[@tavocarrillo7183]

So I am suppose to remove the little governor arm caused I watched your other video and my engine really isn’t running the best

[@kiwiJetsurf]

When you add the mikuni carb does it stop the governor from working? or do i still have to do this?

[@VasilyBuilds]

it does.

[@caspertv753]

What kind of new carburetor is that

[@dacubbison1]

I removed the governer and arm, now it runs at wide open throttle. Ive checked for air leaks and everything with brake clean to no avail. What am i missing here ? I cant find any solutions online.

[@stinkymans5002]

Vasily Custom Builds I did this and I’m confused on how to re hook up the throttle without the arm. Help

[@redearedslider321]

Did you figure it out ?

[@chriscapello7423]

It hooks up directly into the carb.if you look at the top, there is a black rubber boot it goes through. There is a cylinder with a slot that the cable hooks into. When you hit the throttle to go, it lifts that cylinder that has a needle at the bottom that comes up with it and opens full flow

[@gabrielgalaxygh]

Will it blow faster since flywheel is plastic? My only worry

[@wm565]

Only the fan is plastic. The flywheel itself is cast iron,

[@84baggedchevy]

I'm sending prayers for your entire Jerry rigged motor

[@corysatterfield7570]

[@dustinlee9995]

What's top speed after u remove the governor

[@dandufour116]

mikuni carb with stock internals? Can you do that somewhat safely?

[@VasilyBuilds]

Yes. Its only when you are getting heavier springs

[@flip_flop_farmer]

i did this now i have no compression and it wont start i think it has to do with the 2 round valve things that go up and down do they have to b in a certain position and i lined the dot up with the other dot

[@kbaxtre9290]

yo did you fix it caue mines having that problem?

[@ericwang4763]

You add anything like 18lb springs or aluminum flywheel?

[@VasilyBuilds]

I added 18lb springs in a later video

[@ericwang4763]

@@VasilyBuilds Where'd you get them?

[@guy_incognito7538]

I just zip tied the spring from the throttle arm to the governor arm and adjusted the top speed using the limit screw... it’s not much higher in rpms than stock... any problems with this?

[@VasilyBuilds]

Use a heavier spring

[@VasilyBuilds]

thing that would go first is the rod. Not sure what type of engine you have, predator 212 can go up to 7000 safely with stock everything

[@propabilityfpv303]

@@VasilyBuilds yeah I got the 212 it's stock except for a carb I pulled off a briggs that seems to run better during the winter (runs too lean in the winter with the stock carb so I just swap them out) I guess I just have PTSD from my lawn mower vertical conversion that I removed the governor from and it threw a rod (jug looked fine) but i got so scared from it that I didn't work on 4 strokes for a good year or so other than lawn equipment

I took that govenor pin out cut it then put it back in leaving the linkages and took the govenor out.left the oil sensor in there just incase I needed to return it for warranty purposes. (They will never know)

[@themagicloaf8327]

Ok so I just removed the governor on my tecumseh powersport 6hp and when I start it the engine runs by itself and doesn't stop? I connected the throttle directly with a metal wire but that didn't do anything still? What do I need to do?

[@andrewsavage1872]

Diygokartforums and post pictures. I'd bet you have some linkage wrong or the cable hooked up wrong.

[@Mini2vista]

I did this and when I try to pull start there’s like a lot of pressure??

[@sterilesongs6442]

This is because its hydrolocked...just remove the sparkplug and pull the cord a couple times to get the oil out of the cylinder.

[@sterilesongs6442]

Btw sorry if this info is late....

[@andrewt9204]

@@liveandletlive2894 You can't weld steel to aluminum. Well, not with a good hold, the aluminum tends to burn away before the steel will melt. The bolt was steel, the engine block is aluminium. Like he said, tapping the hole is the only good solution here.

Thanks for making this man. Have you ever noticed a small rattle in an empty 212 fuel tank? After I put mine back on after removing the Governor, something’s seems to rattle a little when I tilt the engine. It doesn’t seem to roll much but I can’t figure out what it is

[@kbaxtre9290]

do it start?

[@Everlastandgreen]

You probably left something inside. You do need upgrades inside your engine if you want to make it go faster. Super man cam, billet rod, flywheel.

It frees the motor up and don’t even burn any oil

[@josephatnip2398]

I would have just tap the hole installed a bolt and use some Loctite but hell you could have probably just sealed it up with J-B Weld

[@Nickael7]

Do you half to move the oil censor

[@BraydenBarlow]

No

[@andrewsavage1872]

But you do need to disconnect it at the wire if it's on a kart or mini bike, the oil sloshing will tell it the oil is low and kill the engine.

[@gangstarsnowman7773]

okay the thing is you didn't have to open up the engine you bypassed the governor with the new carb

That's not how that works

@@theofficialvayne0420 oh really? Care to explain why you think that's not how it works.

[@theofficialvayne0420]

@@gangstarsnowman7773 Having a new carburator doesn't just bypass the governor, the only way to actually bypass the governor is by removing it.

[@gangstarsnowman7773]

@@theofficialvayne0420 that is completely false the governor works by limiting the throttle input. As the engine gets to too high in the rpm range the governor arm pulls back on the throttle arm. That's why when people bypass the governor they either zip tie the spring so the arm can't pull back or they set the linkage directly to the throttle arm and not the governor arm. By putting a new carb on the engine you have a separate throttle setup which bypasses the old one. There is no governor arm to pull back on the throttle to govern the engine. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYmndpmPaMyiqM0

[@alexanderautiero4986]

Wiggle the cover off to not rip the gasket

[@staggerproof5589]

Uh, if you are installing the Mikuni, none of the governor linkage connects to it, so you don't need to go inside to remove the governor.

[@fever4174]

Bernard Allan I made this mistake. I thought it would be fine but it always keeps the engine at idle speeds so you need to take it out actually

[@GratefulEd907]

A tap is only like $5. You could have tapped those holes and then just put a bolt in with some lock tight.

If your drifting or doing donuts it's going to cutoff the engine

Dude I recomend you to not disassembly any motor anymore, ever! You almost destroy it. Before starting to mod engines, please take some basic lessons. Also, if you reassembly it without gasket, like you did, you must take care of clearance for the crankshaft axis. That's not a good practice.

Engine may have enough crankshaft end play to begin with which may be why you could get away with using RTV to seal up the side cover. Easy enough to check once the side cover is bolted down. As long as there is some end play it should be fine.
