ENGINE WOULDNT START
I removed the govenor on my sons predator 224 and the internal low oil sensor and when i got done the engine wouldnt start and i was freaking out because it was my first time !! i ended up finding out its because when i pulled the cam the valve tappets came down a little so i pushed them back up not thinking much of it and later found out that can let the connceting rods fall out of place , so i took the valve cover off and sure enough they came off the rockers so i took it apart and put it back together and ahe fired right up hope this helps anyone who makes the same rookie mistake , i found 1 comment in 15 videos that led me to the problem so i figure i will repost same info!!

For those times when the gasket sticks, get a thin metal paint scraper and ensure it’s sharp, it will allow you to slowly work the gasket off. Also remove the flywheel and use a punch to punch the gov wheel out. Best way hands down

[@SlipperySandbox69]

Whoever is trying to remove governor, the arm needs to come out and be replaced with a threaded bolt. Remove the oil sensor. Definitely need some 18 pound springs and a heavy duty flywheel to be safe

Use a self tapping bolt 😉

Line your timing marks up. Pretty simple to get your motor back together. No cost.

[@bigego99]

Everyone uses this brute force method. Use a punch and drive the governor gear shaft out from the other side. Everything comes out as one unit. Them remove clip, gear and spacers from shaft. Drive the shat back into the hole. Much easier and parts don't end up where you can't find them.

[@kartingkid714]

Great advice thank you

[@jackbrister9186]

Or just take shaft out all together and put in a bolt and do the same for the hole that is for the Governor arm

[@alonsoromanjr9279]

Can you make a more in depth video on how to bypass the governor with out opening the engine?

[@CreateProMedia]

Zip tie the governor spring so it is like a solid linkage. Or just remove the linkage all together and relocate the return spring as he did in the vid. Did that to mine and it runs great. Just don’t have full throttle for long periods to be safe.

[@domenicozagari2443]

You can drill a hole and put a screw to hold the governor arm.

If the crankcase is filled up with enough oil you should be ok or if you are worried fit some kind of windage tray & sump baffle.The tight a*rse Chinese wouldn't fit an oil level protector for no reason.Overfilling your crankcase will ensure that splash & dip conrod gets its share of oil when your prone(no puny pin intended) to laying your Minibike over when your trying to do a burnout or accident with the engine on & you Can't quite reach that kill switch.Trev NZ

[@stevepatterson2290]

what did you do about the gas in the oil ? did you take the head off ?

[@fantro1064]

If you look at 5:43, theres a little paddle on the governor arm rod. What I do is simply cut that off so you can keep all the linkages and don't have to mess with the clip on the gear. Unless I'm doing something with high hp, I dont bother removing the gear

How fast will it go stock and how fast with gov removal? My mini bike has 14 inch tires if that helps... just picked up a predator 212 today from harbor freight and not sure if I should remove gov before running it(so it doesn't leak as bad) or if It's worth just running stock(I REALLY don't want to break it!). I want to go around 40-45 mph and don't know if that requires gov removal...
Edit:I'm also adding a stage 1 kit so if that'll make it blow idk if I should remove gov

[@nathanwilliams9264]

Make sure to change the flywheel because my cousins blew up yesterday and destroyed the engine and almost came through the case and went through his leg! We thought that it was a rare occurrence but it’s 100% going to happen to you especially after using it a while!

If is risk to destroy engine during ride I asking myself is that pays off?

Just leave it so it can spin 5x faster then it's intended. It'll destroy itself and ruin gears.

Sir why my engine can't down speed if i down my speed it's automatically engine off

[@youtubecertified4643]

Messing with governor on my Coleman resulted in a screwed engine in need of repair as the valve hit the piston even with 22lb springs. These engines cant handle it without upgrading internals.

[@xeiz__6019]

If it’s a jang dong then that ur problem but if it’s a predator or tilloston then you don’t have to upgrade anything except the flywheel

[@bubbythewizard1761]

I took mine out and just hope and pray every time I ride. I’ve had the valve cover blow off with bent valve rods so I just bent them back and put ‘em back in and it’s been going pretty good 😂

[@theoriginal11charlie]

You also need to put heavier valve springs in

[@Potato37184]

Is a billet Road needet?

[@christophermarch5545]

You can do a gov delete and you can get it to 5500 rpm with the stock valve springs and nothing will break because the stock valve springs will float at 5500 rpm. If you get heavier valve springs, then you would have to upgrade to a bilet connecting rod because the stock rod can't handle the rpm that the gov delete and the heavier valve springs create

[@asphaltcowboy7868]

I have a fully built 212.. after blowing up a stage 1 kit with governor delete..thank God I wasn't injured.. let's just say, if you don't fully build up these little engines, they will blow..and can cause serious injury! The governor is put in place my the manufacturer for a reason, and it's not because of strictly emissions..it's mostly because the engine can't hold up to the temperatures it will endeavour.. the connecting rods are built to contain up to 4,800 rpms before it starts to heat up too much, breaking the connecting collar that holds the end of the connecting rod to the crank shaft.. causing it to sling off at a high rpm and be thrown though the top of the engine block.. deleting the governor, just isn't worth blowing the engine for just a little bit of fun...

[@kartingkid714]

Id say its worth the risk. Valve float keeps the flywheel, which is the main danger to the rider, below critical RPM and ive never had a predator blow unless i was riding top rpm constantly. However, anything beyond a stage 1 kit (not including valve springs) is sketchy without beefed up internals

[@STGkilla8616]

I’m rebuilding a 212 getting new valve springs and a new billet rod and flywheel pretty sure thats all I need lmk if I need anything else I’ve had things go in my leg before just want it to be safe. Lmk thanks

[@asphaltcowboy7868]

It's definitely a wise choice to make sure everything that moves is built out of strong material.. and if you going to go that route, just know that its the cam that really controls the power-band..

[@xxzeroxgamerxx-6735]

So I cheated I pulled the crank shaft out and took a hammer and pryed that bitch out so what was left was the little pin a chunk of plastic and the washer but the black rod was exposed so now the paddle hits that and cant adjust but because the pin is still there the plastic and washer cant go anywhere so I just felt it should work fine when I replace the crankshaft

[@vangyimleejyaaj4707]

Do u have to put a new piston rod or should be ok or will it break

[@michaelkuzmadutton7879]

You should do a higher RPM rated rod if possible but if not you'll still be okay just don't over rev it too much.

[@joncook4769]

I've got a minibike with 212 stage 1 on it I ride on the road like a scooter.
Tip speed is 33 I want to go faster but u said if you take the governor off it's not good to ride long .so how can I ride long and go faster

[@kartingkid714]

Going fast without the governor is typically fine as the valve springs prevent most cases of overreving but if its only topping out at 33 than switch the rear sprocket to a smaller size. Torque will be decreased but youll have a much higher top end

[@trevinskiking2165]

Jon - as he says the stock Valvespring pressure will be an automated valve bounce rev limiter but there is the risk of a valve kissing the piston top ( Crown) but if you go ahead & fit some 18# Lbs Valvesprings & an aftermarket alloy flywheel then you'll have some measure of reliability at higher revs but then there's that std Conrod you need to think about, that's why they make Billet alloy ones.Id keep a safe rev limit of not much More than design overspeed of 6,000rpms.roughly Trev NZ as the old saying goes: how fast do you want to spend.!

It won't happen as long as the extra springs he added do not break. Those extra springs are SUPER important and are there to pull the throttle on the carb back to idle.
