You can't go wrong with either engine, but the Tillotson does give you more customization options at a better price point. What did you all think of this format?
Sometimes towards the gap there is a beveled edge (top) or a dot (top) or writing (top) if there is nothing at all it doesn't matter .....99% of the time...
I paid $250 for my ghost engine and $120 for the kit witch you don't have to buy. You can still get a ton more power out of the ghost and put any pipe you want on it. The excuse you made over and over on the video about why your favorite engine (tillotson) is way cheaper and if it didn't have this problem or that problem makes it a better engine is not true at all. Harbor freight has 20% off cupons all the time. I have to call bull shit . The ghost is the better value at the same price and still smokes the Tillotson. I love the videos tho.
i love it when you play with engines and karts its way better than these boring mini bikes because they all look a like so we just dont watch them anymore .... sorry
Happy to announce I finally made a purchase on GoPowerSports for a stage one kit for my powerfist 212CC pitbike here in Canada. :D Thank you Cars And Cameras for being my favourite mini-bike and go-kart channel!
That was fun to watch and I would like to see how big of a difference new tires makes on your Phantom Cart , Also how cool would it be for Cars and Cameras to sponsor a race day at the track and picnic for fans and families to meet you and get excited about Go Carts and maybe a minibike day ? You guys are growing the Sport and showing how to get it done and I thank you
Charles was in complete controll of that cart he was so smooth with his steering tracking he literally drifter the whole corner like he was driving straight lol Johns tracking was twitchy at first untill he got the hang of it but both great drivers dude they have came so far on so many driving platforms John didn't grow up in the power sports game like most did he got his first go cart at like 18 I'd say so most of us grew up and got our experience over time John is right there with the rest of us in 7 years go John 🤘🤘
Great video as always guys! I especially liked Charles' controlled slide coming through the last turn at 12:53 where he keeps his foot planted and the wheel never comes off center on through to the straight. Nice driving!
Ah yes my kind of video! Love a proper kart track.❤️ Get the T4 kart out there and take all 8 engines with you😉. I would watch that video even if its hours long! My favorite thing in karting is engine and chassis tuning.
I still find that building a fresh predator 212cc is the most enjoyable experience, But for my part of the fun is the building itself. Great content guys!
This was a great video I’m currently building my own mini bike from nothing and a rusty frame its a 212 engine from harbor freight and so far I got the throttle working just needs brakes and a new axle but hopefully I can get those soon and hopefully a new seat well wish me luck guys ❤️
A piece of scrap wood from a build sight,and Walmart cloth,(I've even used a .50cent yard sale shirt),can make and cover a seat.Good luck ! Spray contact glue,and or staples.
@@bryduhbikeguy yup, literally how I'm planning to do the passenger seat on my goldwing bobber, except I happen to have some tooled leather vinyl scrap 👊

Been waiting on seeing how these two compare and I’m surprised by the outcome the ghost I figured would be about dead nuts with the tillotson but was faster. Would really love a rematch with all the quirks worked out and fresh tires but that’s asking a lot.
I have to say I've watched a lot of the videos and in my opinion I think Charles makes a great addition to the team. Very knowledgeable and funny! Keep up the great work going guys.

Man... You guys, I've been a LONG TIME subscriber, viewer, and forever gear head! ...and I've finally got to say it after watching these flying laps/hot laps... PLEASE PLEASE get away from the round tri-figure steering wheels! John, if you catch that front wheel in a burm or wall your thumbs are gone buddy! Please run yoke style wheels on your "quick carts" ....you know the ones you'd change I'm sure lol. Stay safe gentlemen! Always love the content, and the trio really does work well. Awesome vid style on this one too btw
I love your channel here guys. Watching you break down and rebuild engines is epic. I'm looking into getting a couple of mini bikes for my son and me when he moves out here next month. He's moving from Chicago to Arizona where I live and we have tons of dirt trails out here. If you guys have any extra mini dirt bikes you want to get rid of to clear some room, send them my way, I'll pay for the shipping. lol
Great vid. Cool to see the comparison. The coil governed rev limit seems a good way to limit the engine revs. Easy to switch out vs the nuisance of removing the traditional governor from inside an engine.
so power wise ghost 212 performed better than the stage 1 tillotson so if you put a bigger carb and degoverned coil on the ghost itd be really quick the ghost just came out so of course it more expensive give it time and itll probably be cheaper than the tillotson both are good engines

Hey guys, I have a question beceause i never really see yall do this but do yall rejet the carbs? I mostly see the changing of carbs but never rejetting. A while back yall dit bore out the jets but i havent seen that in i guess a couple of years either :")) Thanks a lot for the vids btw, i have been here since the no sponsor, minibike days. And i gotta say, Charles is such a good adition too the team, i love the humor and the loads of uploads from you guys. Lots of love from the Netherlands guys!!
i saw the virginia and proline trailer banners in the background at the beginning, im in central virginia. i got a ghost engine a bit ago and put it on a minibike, got the engine done and im almost done with getting the parts to have it drivable soon, its a pretty nice engine, very easy to assemble
I would like to see you guys take a regular go kart chassis around the track. One that wasn’t specifically designed for track racing. Liking the track content.
I'd love to see you do a video with total seal piston rings as a mod. With no ring gap (it has ring gap but its covered) the piston is sealed up and has a good bit more vacuum and compression
Them Karts are suspension set up for circle track ovals not right turns that's why it goes nuts to the right look at the front spindle on both fronts you will see is lower for more bite on left turns. Although it can be altered for road course yours would perform and make better times. I do have two race Karts and some knowledge thank you
I actually used to race these style chassis! We used 212s and 224 honda clones. We raced them on smooth clay though, but corner speed on a properly set up cart was enough to pull your cheeks off of your face
if you guy's did not know this little fact .. oval track karts the seat is offset road karts are centered...i know this because i raced karts on dirt oval for many years
My guess with the ghost is after putting the no limiter coil on is you ran out of carburetor so the 22mm carb probably would have kept the power going after the 6500rpm. And also it probably started leaking because it didnt have the capacity for the extra rpms
Here on C&C. We do science stuff. Meanwhile Ikes doin 58mph at the drags. 58? The ducarti would murder that biscayne...lol. But we learnt alot guys thanks for doing a great one..Again John gets spokesman props...
With the gov delete on the ghost I have a tiktok video about it on my cart ,under the same username if you are interested, but in order to get it to run right you need to put a utility/stock or billet flywheel on it on. The ghost flywheel says 57° and the flywheel from the original 212 has no offset. You can use an 8° offset key for optimal performance and it’s just like an ungoverned 212!
You don't have to buy the $150 accessories pack. You can buy the go power sports stuff and put on it. I don't think you really addressed that in the videos. $10 air filter and a $30 exhaust pipe. It already comes with a better carb and better engine parts. $300 for the ghost engine vs $240 for the tillotson engine. The price difference is even smaller if you can pick up the ghost engine in the store vs paying $30 shipping.
Ghost engine also doesn’t come with a fuel tank. Add these to the ghost, and your still 100 more than the tilly. Take that 100 to upgrade the till slightly and and your even if not ahead. Plus the access kit for the ghost comes with a pulse pump which wasn’t mentioned if it was installed so that alone on the tilly may even it up.
My step brother was national Enduro champion several times over had a whole house full of trophies won races all over the United States he had 50 horsepower McCullough two strokes trust me his carts would scare the hell out of you !
dont forget to add.... you can also get a 2 year warranty... can you with the tilly? all i gotta do is pull my ghost off and go get a replacement without question.
If y'all can find some older chain driven gear box riding lawnmowers the axle ⚙️ gear will fit.,or can be drilled out to fit on to your racing go karts. Just needs to match up with the chain sizes. On your clutches sprockets is all you need to do on that part of it. And bolt it on.
That leaking out of the carburetor is due to some junk in the needle float valve, it won’t let it seat all the way because something is in the way leading to the gas leaking around it. This happened to me on my mikuni after it was brand new and it took me a while to figure it out.
I don’t wanna say you guys are wrong but saying the ghost is 500 and it’s 100 more then the tillotson I think is far fetched on go power sports a tillotson 212 stage 1 engine is 420 and the cheapest header they have is 30 then a 22mm carb is 100 that comes out to 550
Seems like there should only be a 50 dollar difference because if you didn't buy the goast kit and just used the same parts you used with the Tillotson. Not trying to be pro goast anti Tillotson just asking questions. Or you could have used the giast kit on the Tillotson but what carb came with the Tillotson?
I'd try to find ones with Bigger gears than what's on your racing go karts though by one to two sizes if you're go kat has the clearance space for them is another key factor in the matter of getting more speed.& Be able to use A bigger rear axle shaft gears on those go karts. Good luck guy's.
Those price numbers are bs. Ghost motor: *engine $300 (I paid 225 with a 25% coupon). *air filter $10 *exhaust from go power sports $60 * gas tank $25 Total: $395 (after coupon $320) Tillotson 212: *engine $257 after shipping *stage 1 with carb $150 *exhaust $60 Total: $467 The ghost is an absolute way better deal! Not to mention you won’t have to remove a governor or deal with that at all or that the predator has more aggressive internals stock than the Tillotson. I’m a huge fan of you guys, but this video is straight bad facts 🤦♂️
Hey charles how are them knees buddy hope you are good man. john you going gray on us bud you are to young for all that . great video keep it up guys .
My point is how can you compare them when you junk won't run to full tilt? May as well have had a chainsaw on it. Zero good data except which chassis is better.
Hey guys I live 3 miles from Martinsville Speedway I Ridgeway, Virginia! You should tell us where you are going so we could come and watch and say hello! 🤩
those pulse pumps can be odd; it was pushing fuel right pass the float bowl seal. we used to modify tanks with a cup pointing down, petcock at the bottom in the middle in our fuel tanks; kept fuel no matter what the side of g force, in the line.
@@Nick-tt7ui Hey Nick, we would find any plastic or metal that was funnel shaped. first make a small hole in the bottom of the tank and jb weld and or screw the funnel shape or cup to the bottom of the tank. we then would thread or epoxy the petcock to the bottom of the depression funnel piece. block off the original petcock. We used part of an old gas can, the plactic spout part one time. the fuel will always be in the funnel unless you are shiny side down. I had a buddy that heated up a plastic tank and melted a depression in the middle bottom of the tank. he heated the tank and a blunt pipe he also heated. He pressed slowly through the tank cap opening and it left a depression in the bottom for fuel to pool
You guys are awesome yall gone saying it'll be fine all the time now lol I enjoy every episode I've built a go kart myself recently and I think I'm addicted uh my girl thinks I'm nuts 😅 but who wants to go slow on a go kart
Big John, I gotta know, where did ya get that straw hat? I do lawn care on the side and I’m always looking for a good hat. Love you guys video’s, always awesome

I think you will find that they make equal horse power but the reason the predator did not like the higher revs was due to the cast iron flywheel. The Tillotson has a much lighter flywheel which equates to much better performance at high rev but also equates to much lower torque specs. Had you not had the carberation issues with the Tillotson engine and been able to run it flawlessly in the higher revs your times would have been vastly better with it. The lighter flywheel would allow you to maintain higher speed which would have offset the lack of torque at the bottom required to get it moving which is where the Ghost made up for its lack of topend. I think that if you were to get the Till running at 100% and revisit this comparison you might find the lap time results to be very different. I also think that if you were to put a lighter flywheel on the Ghost it would respond at higher revs better and would probably surpass the Till engine even at 100%, but I could be wrong. Great stuff though.

didn't know VIR allowed karts other than their rentals on their track, pretty cool test
I’d probably just get a regular predator 212 for $150 and do some mods (bigger carb, headjob, governor removal etc.)
i saw the virginia and proline trailer banners in the background at the beginning, im in central virginia. i got a ghost engine a bit ago and put it on a minibike, got the engine done and im almost done with getting the parts to have it drivable soon, its a pretty nice engine, very easy to assemble

Really great piece of content. Test and tuning. Love it.
Y'all boys let em hang on them go karts. Makes me proud to have been born in NC
Great head to head comparison! Well done.

Stop by the car wash before filming...gives you an extra 7.3hp when clean! :)
I always carry a coat hanger for the side of the trail....now. Lol. Thanks Charles. Love you guys. :)

man VIR was poppin the whole day you guys were on the kart track lol
Daaaaamn those go karts can haul assets
The gearing was off too, they could be a good bit faster!
@@CarsandCameras I agree
This was a fun watch, John. Tell Charles he's not aerodynamic, lol.
My guess with the ghost is after putting the no limiter coil on is you ran out of carburetor so the 22mm carb probably would have kept the power going after the 6500rpm. And also it probably started leaking because it didnt have the capacity for the extra rpms
That is what I realized to, it may need a bigger carb that carb can't take that power ,or if it has a drain bolt it wasn't sealed properly.
The cast iron flywheel in the ghost will go at that RPM. Get the tillotson (or a wildcat)
Great review and good content as usual.
Here on C&C. We do science stuff. Meanwhile Ikes doin 58mph at the drags. 58? The ducarti would murder that biscayne...lol.

Does the tiltson come with all the parts that the 150 dollar goast kit comes with?
Seems like there should only be a 50 dollar difference because if you didn't buy the goast kit and just used the same parts you used with the Tillotson. Not trying to be pro goast anti Tillotson just asking questions. Or you could have used the giast kit on the Tillotson but what carb came with the Tillotson?

Hey charles how are them knees buddy hope you are good man. john you going gray on us bud you are to young for all that . great video keep it up guys .
Brothers I would love to see the return of the diesel engine at this track on a racing cart frame
Next time on cars and cameras,
" Will My lawn tractor run faster laps than a race kart with a blown up motor? Sounds fair right? "
Dopes.
My point is how can you compare them when you junk won't run to full tilt? May as well have had a chainsaw on it. Zero good data except which chassis is better.

@@Nick-tt7ui simple float bowl carbs like gravity feed. almost any psi over 2 can push fuel past the bowl seal.
@@jimsworthow531 did you use a regular plastic cup I still don't get it lol
@@Nick-tt7ui Hey Nick, we would find any plastic or metal that was funnel shaped. first make a small hole in the bottom of the tank and jb weld and or screw the funnel shape or cup to the bottom of the tank. we then would thread or epoxy the petcock to the bottom of the depression funnel piece. block off the original petcock. We used part of an old gas can, the plactic spout part one time. the fuel will always be in the funnel unless you are shiny side down. I had a buddy that heated up a plastic tank and melted a depression in the middle bottom of the tank. he heated the tank and a blunt pipe he also heated. He pressed slowly through the tank cap opening and it left a depression in the bottom for fuel to pool
@@jimsworthow531 makes sense now thank you, definitely going to do this
You guys are awesome yall gone saying it'll be fine all the time now lol I enjoy every episode I've built a go kart myself recently and I think I'm addicted uh my girl thinks I'm nuts 😅 but who wants to go slow on a go kart

I think you will find that they make equal horse power but the reason the predator did not like the higher revs was due to the cast iron flywheel. The Tillotson has a much lighter flywheel which equates to much better performance at high rev but also equates to much lower torque specs. Had you not had the carberation issues with the Tillotson engine and been able to run it flawlessly in the higher revs your times would have been vastly better with it. The lighter flywheel would allow you to maintain higher speed which would have offset the lack of torque at the bottom required to get it moving which is where the Ghost made up for its lack of topend.
I think that if you were to get the Till running at 100% and revisit this comparison you might find the lap time results to be very different. I also think that if you were to put a lighter flywheel on the Ghost it would respond at higher revs better and would probably surpass the Till engine even at 100%, but I could be wrong. Great stuff though.
