- This summer, I threw together a couple minibikes and this is the following footage of the completed projects. My new job made it hard to upload several videos every week, so I decided to pile them all into one huge episode. Feel free to ask questions about the projects. Enjoy!
i watched this video near last christmas, since then, i have built my own mini bike by myself, and it's sweet! thanks for the inspiration
yeah i didn't wanna be building a minibike cause i would mess up a build i just got the stock 212cc mega moto 2 months ago 80 percent assembled in a crate and box after 1 oil change and with 93 octane fuel it goes 40ish mph all day
@@jerryking1434 No, because he's a liar.
The red bike with suspension came with a 3.5 Tecumseh and had a tank mounted on the top of the frame.
I put the predator on my Sears Roper without the torque converter drive. Just 40 chain and good clutch, remote tank, carb rejet and header. engine is lifted as you did. runs great!
you could have bolted a plate and extended it out forward to mount the engine
Your lack of proper performance mods bothers me when you put the straight pipe you need more air into the engine and to jet the carb so it doesn’t run lean
40 bucks?.. dag, Gay Power Sports charges like 70 bucks for a ...ahem..'header". And they're stealing $$ from teenagers who cant afford much. Hopefully YT vids can help the next generation.. not profit off them.
yes you're back! I missed watching your videos!!
+Kaden Richardson Its been way too long! My new job has me tied down haha
I sure hope you can upload more often. Your videos are great!
+bignickthegreat will u sell a mini bike frame
im looking for set of tires
charles randall
I am glad I am not the only one struggling with an engine to fit !! Great vid
How about camera angles where we can see you riding it... I feel a bit jipped not being able to see the blue one get ridden... How fast are they?
Sorry, I’m still learning how to be a good youtuber, all of these bikes have been sold for a long time now. The red one was by far the best, it had the highest top speed probably 45 mph and was the most driveable
Tecumseh 3.5 hp is meant for that red mini bike.
Why not take the tank off and mount it on the top frame rail? You are gonna have to get a lot more imaginative for this to work out for you. Yeah, just remount the gas tank.
Gregory Timmons 100% would have been so much easier with the engine he wanted aswell
@ 4:10 take a bit of tube the same as the frame and put a dent in the full tank. I cannot believe you think your clever enough to be giving people tips on how to build, try watching some first.
For future reference you could clamp a thick piece of copper over the bolt holes so you don't weld over them. The copper won't hold the weld. Or you could pick up a nice 110 ting inverter and torch with gas hose for about 300 bucks
Nice bikes the red one is built for an old tecumseh hs engine with the gas tank in front and small carb in the back. alot of bikes are like that it sucks but it is what it is. alot of guys put aftermarket or tecumseh carbs on the briggs engines to fit them better
+jeep2003 Ahh right, Techumsehs! I havent worked with them very much, that's why that never popped into my head
Where do you get your frames from I can’t find any on Craig’s list or eBay
Keep those eyes open! Deals are out there. Plus I think Facebook marketplace is where everyone is trying to sell right now so try that
Man I woudent want to turn to sharp w/ that foot peg bar where It's welded ! That would make for a BAD day !!! jimmiesteve47
why wouldn't you just get a longer chain if the motor could go forward more? You have the ability to weld. You could have added a plate to the mounts for the clearance forward even more. making your own motor mounts was a good idea but could have been better planned. Dont cut the frame if you don have to. You know that because you had to fix it afterwards. Once you start adding power to the motors, you are going to weld more to enforce it.
They might have had those engines but moved the tank or relocated it.
why don't u post videos anymore

Bvhg
cool last one you should have drove it
i know how you feel about the Briggs Flathead mine had the exact same issues had a badly damaged cylinder beaten up camshaft and worn out bearings
hey i would love to know more about the achol that it runs on and what was done so it would run on the achol as well ..... maybe you could show us all !
Great job! I have a question, do you know where i can get a clutch or torque converter for a 301cc predator? Thank you and again great work!
Man look at that monkey back brake setup. Just like in the 1960s when everything was much simpler.😅
Well folks is is showing you something about the subject. He’s showing you what not to do. Now let find the correct way to go about this🙃
You only need to hone the cylinder if theres scaring in the cylinder but i do recommend replacing everything else and modify the the intake port
Great job Nice build She moves along pretty good Love the zip tie shut off system I use string lol !!
Man those minibike need rescuing from you from all the cobbling!!!!!! Lol
Too bad those Predator engines run backwards, so the cylinder can't go forward... someone needs to sell a reverse rotation cam for them... and reverse ignition timing setup...
Those old school mini bikes fly right out from under you Their death machines. They don’t need big engines I traded the one I had for a pocket bike. I ride the Coleman ct 200 with a bunch of mods these days.
Keep it up! I love your videos because you wing stuff like me! And can't wait for the driving on the racing minibike!
Why not move the gas tank instead of cutting the frame?
+bignickthegreat i finally found my mini bike a new engine all it needs is a new chain and a clutch
You may of had a good idea but you failed to deliver. Next time cut the bullshit and get right to doing what you set out to do 😮
that red mini bike most likely had a 3 HP Briggs thats that I have in mine
take out the governor from the 212, make a step pipe exhaust i made mine from 2 different slide fittings for fencing, k&n style air filter, and 140 emoltion tube with jets and you'll be pumping out about 9 hp from that 212 and don't really worry about a bilit rod and flywheel i've run mine for 3 years with this set up with no problems
great to see more videos!
What's a step pipe exhaust and
140 emoltion tube with jets?
A step pipe is a like that progressively gets bigger in steps from 1 inch to 1.5 and so A 140 emotion tube is a get out of a Honda gx 140 that gives a gx 200 more tourge and jets are just bigger sizes that allow more gas into the carb
+Dale Jackson do basically your saying that style header pipe and some bigger jets in the carb can give you 2-3 more hp?
been checking your channel for almost a year, can't believe you're finally back
take the gas tank off the preadeddor and get a gas tank that goes on the frame in frount of the seat had the same problem you might half to take the egsaust off and get a smaller one and you might half to get a smaller air filter to or just take it off
i like it thanks for the upload
Thats a nasty cut you put on that red bikes frame to fit engine, talk about cringe...hahaha cool bikes though.
why cut the frame? why not slide motor forward two inches and add two inches to the chain...rhats a hack job from hell
Move the fucking gas tank to were it belongs wow .......ahhhh i seee he used google to figuer it out when he toke that break for the night
Dude what do you search for to just find the body of a mini bike no engine on it nothing just what you had in the beginning of the video??
u can put any of thoes motors all u have to do is take off the gas tank easy fix they have small gas tanks to fit anywere
I swear i just seen this exacpt build for sale!!!
Nice set of minis, I dont know if it was camera shake but at 14:42 it looked like the belt on the TC wanted to fold over at high RPMs. not sure.
Hi can u pls help me I want start making mini bike can u pls let me have a free mini bike frame pls
Did you build the fames and if not where can I get material for making a frame
Poor mini bike he destroying it cutting its going to fall apart when riding
What ever happened to the HUGE superbike engine? Great to see you back!
+Nick Svendsen Still saving cash to buy machinery/tools to make the build happen!
+bignickthegreat it'll be great!
I bought the Colman mini bike and built it the big tube one look it up nice bike
5.5 Honda or 4.0 Honda would fix perfect
got a minibike frame in the junkpile o its way to the scrapper
How fast does it go, like top speed on a road
wow! not cool. frame is too weak for all the power he is applying
I have the Predator engine and Mikuni 22 carb. Problem is, I
can't connect one fuel line because the tanks connection is say much
larger than the one the Mikuni. Can you recommend some type of adapter? Your thoughts?
guitaristinseattle put a hose clamp around it and tighten it up so it clamps on the hose
OMG you are baaack!!!!
Ruined a perfectly good mini bike frame smh
when are you going to upload more videos
i had one with a two speed stock transmission
Ok now I'm gonna start building on and I'm only 12. I have money saved up and my moms boyfriend can weld the parts together I hope I can get it done before Christmas so I can drive it😄
Great vid !! can you please tell me where the best place to buy mini bike motor parts and accessories clutches /sprockets jack shaft /throttles ect .
Go power sports
I usually stuck to ebay, every once in a while I’ll buy from go power sports or BMI karts
The back suspension is bottoming out on the exhaust.
Find a doodle bug mini bike to put your predator motor on
looks like a doodlebug, don't know how to be 100% on it.
Wtf.......... why not make ur own metal piece.. wtf why
Have you discovered more horse power doesn't always make the best mini bike? I like speed but sometimes big HP makes for a death machine people dont want to ride.
True
Yes actually
That's a good thing! Less people want to ride it so less worries about other people wrecking it lol
stclairstclair I agree.
What size tires and how many teeth on the rear sprocket?
Sorry I'm new to this stuff, does an engine come with a gas tank?
Yes
You shouldn't have to apologize to ask a question man!
yes
small hp engine probably for a little kid
That’s why there mu t be holes in the front part
What is that red mb I have the same one but no tags or any type of way to identify it I wanna build it with my nephew any tips would be appreciated
Irish Bear sorry I’m not real sure what kind of bike it was either. Was a quality frame though!
Hey whats that pedal on the red bike for?
U sell on used engine 3hp 4hp an use on mini bike
this nigga sounds like yogi bear !!!!! hahahha
you can take the gas tank off and do it another way
i bought a old mini bike with a baja 95cc engine in it that is super clapped out . It looks like the Azusa mini bike body style . Do those harbor freight 212 predator engines work on most mini bike frames ? i just dont want to waste any money haha .
I'm pretty sure they used 3 or 5hp Tecumseh engines on the red minibike. They had a carb on one side and tank on the other.
i wouldnt have cut the frame now it junk
Where can you buy just the frames from?
Can't fit cause the gas tank move the gas tank
Nick! you're back! nice job man
Love the burnout! cool build.
Good to see you are back, just a bit of helpful criticism I thought I might share is that a video of driving from on the minibike isn't very fun to watch it's much nicer to watch flyby S or just set a camera on some books in the yard in multiple places and peice together a lap wit a bunch of different takes. You do s great job just thought it might be helpful. Also look at the way cars and cameras films their driving videos, usually it's about 75% watching someone on the bike/kart and 25% head or wheelcam
+LemonPie4Me Hey man, the world needs more youtubers like you. Helpful and constructive. I appreciate that! I have no problem admitting that I cut corners filming the work on these bikes. I no longer have the time I used to dedicate to filming my projects. Ill try to have more action shots for the next project. Thanks again and stay tuned!
+bignickthegreat thanks for replying! I totally understand and I always appreciate the video
' okk o
A Trust In Thrust the
good set of bikes you got there
Yo. The black sock crew in the house.
Tecumseh powersport will fit!!!
Hi i hope i will have one minimoto from you
Old frames are made for old tiller motors....
I put that motor and the torque converter in mine with no cutting. doodlebug.yes it is tight
oblong the t-converter mount holes next time to eliminate the raising of the motor that high.
Cool Projects brother, Cheers The Dizz.
i own a 1975 HPE cat mini bike i bought it from a junkyard last year for 10 bucks it had no engine but when i saved up enough money i bought a 212 predator and it bolted right up didnt have to cut anything
Take gas take off.. dont cut frame..
If it ain't a Lawn-King it ain't shit!!.
There's a lot that you can get, with a motor mount plate for what you wanna do. I have a Baja Doodlbug with a Predator 212 motor. Try getting on a minibike forum on FB. There you can get all the technical support you need.
race both of them see which one is faster
rather than modify or notch the frame because of the gas tank, why not massage the tank in that spot and reshape the tank a bit so it fits? A ball peen hammer can work wonders so long that the tank doesn't have any seam or other structural feature in that spot.
Gotta move those gas tanks.
I wish I could show my mini bike
The gas tank isnt mounted on the engine
