Throttle kit for ungoverned Predator 212 and Clone engines
This throttle kit is only for ungoverned engines with stock style carbs.
This allows the stock gas tank to remain on the engine unlike a top plate linkage
Here is the part I am installing
www.ombwarehouse.com/throttle-assembly-for-ungoverned-engines-gx200-predator-212.html
Please use billet flywheels and rods in ungoverned engines. The stock parts are not designed for higher than governed rpm use and can fail!

Predator 459 exposed
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
I tore apart a Predator 459 to see what all the hype was about This engine created a lot of buzz because of the oil pump and the large size This a good engine for industrial use when the governor is intact Only the aftermarket cam fit this engine. The ARC billet rod and flywheel do not fit this engine…and I never run an ungoverned engine without those parts The crank does not use roller bearing...

Catch Can mystery revealed
Переглядів 3,1 тис.Рік тому
A catch can is merely a remote vent for the engine…nothing special here! High performance and even stock engines create internal pressure and must be vented. If an engine is sealed the internal pressure can blow oil from the gaskets and seals. A catch can capture that oil so it does not get on the track! www.ombwarehouse.com/strut-mount-catch-tank.html We have the breather filters here www.ombw...

What you need to know before building a Predator 224
Переглядів 35 тис.2 роки тому
The Predator 224 is a “stroker” engine and the build needs to be done differently than a 196/212cc build and we can’t just slap parts together. Bust out the Dremel and take your time. We have a section just for the Predator 224 www.ombwarehouse.com/performance-parts/predator-performance-parts/predator-224-max-performance/
Support your local header! Keep from cracking your pipe!
Переглядів 3,3 тис.2 роки тому
Header support is often overlooked. These engines have a lot of vibration which can break your header or even pull out the head studs! This is easy to do and does not take much time. Pre made universal fit brackets universally fit nothing. Make a header brace specific to your bike and never worry about breaking a header again

Lmao i have that goat in my service van ,thanks for pointers keep uo the great work
Do I need the pulse hooked up??
@@StreetOutlaws-w8s you have to have a pulse hooked up to run a pump. No pulse, no pump!
@@TheGrayGoatGarage where is it best to have the pulse
@@StreetOutlaws-w8s it is best to pulse from the intake manifold if possible The next best place is from the valve cover
Where can i get the reverse spring?
We have those here www.ombwarehouse.com/comet-40-series-reverse-wind-spring-204524a.html
Have you ever came across the driver squealing? When in motion
Only when I run over a cat! LOL JOKING! The belts can squeal, especially if the gearing is off and the parts have never been serviced. It could be the belt slipping. There is no way for me to diagnose this without my hands and eyes on it, sorry
Is the bearing supposed to sit perfectly flush on the inside and the oil seal perfectly flush against the bearing on the outside? Cant find a photo anywhere showing the fitment.
@@TheLuvvgunn the bearing will only go in so far as there is a step inside the block and sidecover
I really appreciate the mention of proper orientation of the pulse port on the pump with respect to oil return.
Good stuff 🎉🎉🎉
When engine heats up ,clearance will be less ,good luck ,short on clearance, Duh!!!!
I have 212 non hemi predator with a 3/4 bore/ camshaft size will this fit mine???
@@beeeehbobooo yes, this is correct for your engine. Make sure to use the correct hardware for mounting and the crank
I just ordered the upgraded torque converter kit TAV2 3/4 shaft kit!!
Thank you graybeard garage hell of a video answered all my questions in depth and the visual of you physically doing it and replacing it worked out perfect. Thank you for all your help. Wonderful video! Five stars
My non,hemi has different rockers!!!!,I run o lash,for max lift on cam!!!!
Whats the difference between a series 30 and series 40??
The difference is the amount of HP and torque they can handle
What’s that big black washer called???
Can i stop here and ask the comment section for advice please here today?
Sure, ask away!
If I’m switching to 26lb valve springs and champion rockers, would the lash need to be the same?
Valve lash does not change with different rockers and/or different springs
Could you tell me why my belt is shredding? I'm not even running it,it's just doing this in idle...I have no idea why it is,and I'm pretty sure i installed everything correctly. Thanks
Great video!!! You make it perfectly clear what to do and going over the components is a great idea.
Thanks, you were the only source I could find on what gasket goes where! 👍
Hey man love your channel i have the exact same torque converter and i installed it just like you said only problem is my golfcart takes off on me now i used the belt that came with the torque converter do you think i should try and buy a different belt? How would you go about fixing this problem i have? Thank you in advance 🙏 ❤
I would really need my hands and eyes on it to know what is happening here. Make sure the inner pulleys are aligned properly. If so, you may want to try another belt. If using the plate mount system, this is the best belt you can get www.ombwarehouse.com/-9-7-belt-asymmetric.html This is only for the plate mount systems
This will work for the champion style rockers to right the x ones
Yes, the procedure is the same regardless of the rockers used
I had a question wondering if you can help, I installed a new pair of champion rockers on my 212 predator the cam is old and I salvaged it from a older motor, I installed the rockers set the valve lash and all when I go to turn the crank it does the exhaust side smooth and easy but once it goes to the intake the motor stops turning like it hits a hard spot, I forcefully turned it once thinking nothing can happen but it broke the rocker arm where the pushrod is pushing up, I just wanted to know is the cam I’m using ruined or warped or can it be something else?
@@TheGrayGoatGarage forgot to tag you
@@armandorivera7472 Sorry, there is no way for me to know what is going on without my hands and eyes on the engine. Too many variables here!
Maybe someone in the comments would answer this. Is that not a reinforce block?! When did they start reinforcing the 224?? And does HF predator still reinforce the 224?? Thank Yall and Goat gr8 info 😇🙏👍
The Predator 224 non-Hemi (not the new Hemi version) always had the reinforced block
Put a keensert or helicoil in there. Much 💪 threads.
Wish we had videos on how to install the spring properly
@@smokeyi477 me too. Too much to do and too little time!
@@TheGrayGoatGarage feel you on that
Quick question, So I know that the predator 224 and 212 are both 70mm bores but, does the 224 have a taller deck or are they the same deck height?
The 224 block has a .020" taller deck height than the 212 blocks
@@TheGrayGoatGarage thank you
Thanks for your help, Eric!
thank you very much bro i got my engine going!
Hi i'm Jody from ARC.LMAO
I have a 301 predator engine. Will that torque converter fit into a golfcart to replace the gas engine which locked up and rusted. I don't understand how to connect this to rearaxle without a drive shaft. Lost in Ohio. Need help for this 82 yr old folk
ive got a mild 212 build that drinks the gas from the carb, i pull over and wait for the bowl to fill up and take off again, i have 2 of the exact idetical builds and only one does it, i cant figure it out
Check these things. Make sure that the gas tank is vented. Try it without the gas cap on and see if that is the issue. Make sure the fuel line is OK Under the gas lever on the carb there is a sediment bowl. Remove that with a 10MM wrench and make sure it is clean and fuel flows through it. My first thought is that the tank is not vented and not allowing the fuel to flow to the carb! Good luckk
4:13 guys he said a brand new block!!! I did it with a brand new block for 350 for 15 mins and it dropped in
Hello good sir. So i instsalled this but my go kart wheels spin on idle. I noticed my clutch doesnt go all the flat and is still out a little .could this be my issue? I ordered a new cluth. I hope it helps lol
I just asked him the same question did buying a new clutch work? If so what kind did you buy?
Thank you!👍🏁
No help out the camera up close and say hey put this here naw that’s too much like work though everybody suck ass at explaining shit
Please send back a link to your video so we can get some tips from you on how to best get this done
I was running a go kart the other day and half way threw the session it just start getting slower and slower for no reason checked carb and new spark plug and it's getting full throttle just wondering if the pulse pump is to blame the engine is only 7 months old and honda gx160
What has been done to the engine? has the governor been disconnected? If so, what billet rod are you using?
@TheGrayGoatGarage it's completely standard honda gx160 single springed on the govner arm
I run 1/4 fuel line on mine no issues
Big help!!
Thanks!!!!!
Thank u
My man! Just what I was looking for.
Hola
Do you have the link for the plastic side cover ?

Impact go brrrrrrrrr
I have this same clutch. Used it for 15 miles and now the bushing keeps binding up whenever I idle. Its been oiled but I'm at a loss as to how it already wore out. Now it only starts and stays running if I pedal start it and it sounds absolutely horrible.
@@mitchellfultzable Hilliard wants to see a 6 to 1 gear ratio with tires at 14” or less in height. I am sure you do not have that ratio! Sand the shoes and inside the drum with 320 grit sandpaper and clean it with wd40. This is only a temporary solution and you will be doing it a lot!
@@TheGrayGoatGarage its the clutch that came with my phatmoto. Not sure what the ratio is
@@TheGrayGoatGaragehey there. Where can i get a 420 rear sprocket sold steel with a ID of 1-3/8-1-1/2. I want to drill my own holes for my old school split rim
So do I have to remove the engine to remove the clutch? If not how do I get the chain off ?
There's a master link in chain comes off, don't lose them, !
You do not have to remove the engine, just the clutch!
hi can you help with a surging engine? Kawasaki fs600v. New carb, new fuel pump, dont know what else. New plugs, fresh fuel.
So I want to add a pulse pump to my stock Predator 420. I'm looking at buying the Carb Insulator with vacuum port (rather than taping the engine myself), and buying a pump to pull gas from a stand-alone tank. This is for a pressure washing setup, not for racing. Which pump should I buy with the Carb Insulator?
Any pump will do, also you can buy a plastic piece for the motor that fits with stock motor. It has the pulse barb already on it and you’ll still be able to run stock carb etc .
@@maxagathos That's what I meant by the "Carb Insulator with vacuum port". They sell it on the OMBWarehouse website. I was just checking on the best type of pump. There is a regular one and a "high output" pump on that website.
We have the Walbro pumps here www.ombwarehouse.com/walbro-fuel-pump.html and the insulator with the pulse port www.ombwarehouse.com/carb-insulator-with-vacuum-port-gx390-predator-301cc-420cc.html The fitting on the insulator os for 3/16" line and the pump uses 1/4" line. Use this to adapt the two www.ombwarehouse.com/1-4-to-3-16-fuel-line-reducer.html
@@TheGrayGoatGarage Awesome! Where exactly does the insulator go?
@@TheGrayGoatGarage Also, just put my order in for those parts. Thanks again!
That belt looks too tight and your clutch is on backwards
The driver unit can work in either direction. It does not matter which way it is mounted on the crank. The belt is the correct length for that application
That's AMAZING! Vernon just told me about these the other day. For years I was discarding my 196's. I'm going to try and spread the word in the forums, this is an amazing product!
I am restoring an engine. (It’s just a clone 196cc) and noticed that it has aluminum push rods. I think I would rather have steel pushrods in it though. I have a spare clone 163cc that has steel pushrods. The aluminum rods are 0.0035 shorter than the steel rods. Would it be ok for me to swap them? Is that a big enough difference to warrant not swapping or will this difference not be a problem? Thanks for any help.
That is such a minimal difference that it will be fine!
Hi Eric, what can I do to stop my primary from grabbing the belt @ idle tried a new belt same issue idle is set as low as I can go duramax 440, I put into a b200r coleman thanks I'm puzzled
