One thing to be aware of when installing this carb to that intake manifold. (at least with the one I have which is probably the same one everybody has..GPS or GSP is written on it...) The O-ring on the carb is really close to the same size of the opening on the intake. You really need to install the carb on the intake before you install the intake to the engine. That way you can look into the intake and center it up on the O-ring for a symmetric fit when clocking the carb. I bet if you looked inside that intake from the side that mounts to the engine looking toward the carb, It would be off center in relation to the O-ring and the opening in general. You can end up with an intake leak.
Ok yes this is what is Happening with mine after install … it looked lined up but when I started it was bogging then it started leaking fuels from around the filter … so do I need to align it again ?????
Thank you so much I did not know the O-ring is suppose to be centered with the intake pipe. Now that makes sense why you install the Carburator onto the intake onto the head engine in this order. I was having trouble getting my engine to run from reving up on its own and abnormal rpms adjusting my idle and air screw when I disassembled my intake from the head I did notice the o-ring on my carb was pinching on the bottom more than anywhere else around the circumference. I hope to get another chance getting my bike to run Thank You for this comment. 🏁
Hey Red Beard, because of your channel I myself bought my son a minibike and just finished building 1 for myself.. it’s all thanks to your videos and know how I was able to do this.. Thank you sooo much!!!
@The Truth of the Matter generally you run your overflow right to the ground, taking care to avoid your exaust and anything else that might be hot. It should never leak fuel unless it's dirty or there's a problem with the float. 👍🏼
Another huge problem with the stock ones which really isn't their fault is that when pushing the engine over their rev ranges the car can't keep up and it'll start leaning out, found that out by taking meat out of the governor
That cable-soldering tip was a good idea! I've been wrenching for a long time and I've never even seen/heard of that! I like learning stuff. Thanks man!
I have a stock 212 will I mess up the engine if I just throw a new carb on it and run. And do I have to do other things as well like flywheel, rods, piston?
Buy a Park Tool or similar cable cutter. It is a tool designed to specifically cut brake and shifter cable and will prevent fraying that happens when you cut with a regular pair of snips
Just got my predator Gov out head ported and polished and big box of goodies be here tomorrow from go power sports with the makuni carb in it thanks red for confidence to do it
Drill it out as big as the carb hole cause the motor hole is way bigger than the carb hole so you only want to go so far cause if you go farther you'll have vacuum leaks
I don't mean to be critical, but you spend time on the obvious things like the air filter, but you never mention the fuel hose or those two pink hoses on the carb. Where do they go?
hey red beard i was wondering if you could maybe make a short vid on how to tune the mikuni. i have a 212 also. mods are: mikuni 22mm, header, no gov, black mamba cam, billet flywheel, 26lb springs, arc rod, fuel pump& filter, i had the 130 main & 17.5 pilot in it but i put the stock jets back in. and ive tried moving the clip all the way up and down, ive screwed the air/fuel screw on the bottom of the carb all the way out to lean it out as much as possible and still every time i pull the plug its pitch black. it idles and runs fine tho. it doesnt cut out or backfire i can rev it to the moon and it keeps on going and doesn't fall flat. i just cant figure out why im still fouling the plug?. so yea man any info would help. oh yea and once the plug starts to foul of course it gets harder to start and i get (ALOT) of white smoke from the exhuast everytime i go to crank it. i thought white smoke was a lean problem??? so yea lol as you can see im a little confused. im assuming theres no way in hell the stock jets on the mikuni are to big for the mods i have. so yea any info you can give on how to tune these things would be much appriciated!. thank you!.
When you installed the cable on the slide atop the Mikuni, it looked like the sleeve was pulled away from the top of the carb. Is there a trick to seating it in place?
Hello rbg..I know prob a silly question but if gov is not removed witch way does the arm need to be..foward or back till.its almost hitting things insine??22mm on mine isn't getting wot cause my cable set up sux..lol..on a g1 cart..but it's way better with the Chinese knockoff.
Hey red beard first off I wanna say thanks for all your videos there great! I’m sorry if youve already answered this but I have a genuine mikuni vm22 carb I’m getting ready to put on my 212 with intake, header, governor removed and upgraded valve springs. I was wondering what size jets you think would work best? I live at 5000ft in Colorado. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
hey red beard, do i need a new throttle cable for the coleman ct200u? Its the only thing keeping me from getting a mikuni cuz I dont know anything about throttle cables or where to put the gov cable
Just wondering the two hoses that I have left over after putting a aftermarket filter which are the crank case hose and I think valve cover hose at very front… they were both connected to old the airbox I have a 169cc “150cc” go kart
One more question... is there some way to adjust idle on that carb? I put one on my predator, just like your video. But don't see how to adjust the idle. Thank you.
Are there by chance any experts on jetting Mikuni carbs out there? I am just having a hard time finding anything in my online searches that is helpful. Thanks in advance!
Whats the bottom hole on the carburator where it mounts to the manifold adapter. The plastic gasket doesn't cover the hole and gas pours out. Should I make a gasket to cover hole and clamp it down with the plastic Spacer gasket the one with o-ring
Stupid question but what did you use to make a gasket? Can i use a 12 pack beer cardboard box to make one and add some gasket maker? I am c9ncerned about vacuum leaks
I got a mikuni carb for my predator 212cc. I have an aftermarket pipe. The carb is clean. It acts like it doesn't want to start. Then when I do get it started it idles high. I tried messing with the idle screw. Nothing. I tried messing with the air fuel mix screw. It makes it sound choppy. But it still idles high. I stood behind the bike and it throws the exhaust like baseballs. You can feel it hit you from 15ish feet back. But the 2nd I apply idle, it dies. But if I do a fast idle. It will go really high. My torque converter exploded. So I've only done it once.
I ordered a new makuni carb for my Coleman mini bike. But it doesn't come with the throttle cable.so I'm trying to figure out which cable to get.maybe you could give me some input on that.
Keep it up red beard, you vids are awesome I love binge watching them. Also I am planning to build a gocart w/ a 212 predator and I want to do upgrades to it.
I'm confused, just installed a Mikuni 22 on my Predator 212. 1 - Now, it runs great when the lever with rubber tip is up. Does that mean the choke is off? I've been researching this and there are opposing answers. 2 - it starts best in the mid position then I flip up, is that normal? Thanks :). (The engine is brand new, I removed the oil sensor and governor). Why did they put the idle screw waaay under the carb? Hard to get to.
Bought the chinese model from amazon. It worked great for 60 seconds, then began so many problems that dont make any sense. Stalls at idle, wont run fast at all. Sometimes hard to start, then sometimes starts great. I think I will buy the real mikuni from GPS.
HEY... THANKS FOR INFORMATION ON THIS CARB...IM BUILDING A 212CC WHATS YOUR ADVISE ON HOPING UP THE MOTOR WITH A (.60) STOCKER CRANK....CON.ROD..CAM AND VAVLE SPRINGS..... THANKS IT FOR A MINI RACE BIKE.....
As far as the different hoses on the Mikuni, how do we know which one gets connected to what? Dumb question, but it’s my first build. I’m installing a 24mm flat side to my 212.
Nice drifting! I need to get 2 of those carbs for the dual 212cc kart that I am putting together. I need two of the manual clutches as well lol. Great video, keep them coming!
That’s not a Mikuni that go Powersports is selling it’s a replica and it can be had on eBay for 30 bucks however the intake that comes with that kit is a good product but the kit that they sell is extremely overpriced considering the carburetor is a replica
They actually tell you its a replica to get a genuine you gotta pay 40 more bucks i hate to say but gopowersports is a overpriced joke... actually whats funny is they sell on ebay bought a throttle cable off ebay cuz it was cheaper and free shipping came in a go powersports box had all the sticker and a receipt with gopowersports on it, you'd have to be damn fool to buy it off there website
i just did the header, intake and jet to my predator 212, Ive also put a zip tie through the governor spring. what would you suggest i do for my next engine modification?
After installing my mikuni carb, the motor took about 20 pulls to start, and then shut off quickly afterwards when I revved it a bit. Should I be worried?
Hello, I Relly want that clutch because it is the best clutch foe a go cart and I really think it is awesome and your videos are the best so keep up the awesome content, I am sorry I don't have a Facebook account so have doing these builds you guys are awesome.
I have two questions?? What do you connect the hoses that come off the carb?? Second and hopefully you can help me out. I had an oil leak on a predator. Replaced the crank case cover gasket and still have an oil leak. Have you had this issue? I looked all over and can figure out were it’s coming from. Any recommendations on what we should do to find the issue. Thanks before hand. Great channel
whats the main purpose of a mikuni carb plss i need help n with it work better then the stock with drill jet n to install the mikuni will i meed to removetje governor thankx plss reply
Thanks for the help!!! I’m in the process of building a drift shopping kart and I’ve been having trouble finding wheels and tires. I found the three lug hubs just no luck with wheels yet. I’d like to run a little bit thinner front tire than the rear. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hey awesome build! Questions; do I have to get a billet flywheel and/or change valve springs just to safely remove the governor? Why 22mm carb? Why not like 30? Should I go with just a straight race clutch or 30 series torque converter? Why are they called TAVs? Are the "Stage" kits kind of a waste, being that you can order everything separate? I just got my predator 212 and installed it in a engine-less Baja(um I think...it only has one downtube on the frame and it has a bicycle style seat setup and no racks or anything so really I don't know by looking at the different types which one it is) I got super cheap. I'm thinking of just doing the easy bolt on stuff, filter, mikuni carb, header, the 80ish dollar torque converter on Amazon, then I have a used chain it came with, and the the back sprocket looks alright. Then I was gonna do the governor bypass, the one where you move the spring not the zip tie method. Any suggestions or tips?
Hi I watch you video I doint want to Install a carburetor i bypassed the governor with a spring so if I installed this carburetor will It automatically by pass the governor
So I have a 22mm Mikuni carb on my 212 and it seems to be getting to much gas and it come out the overflow when I’m riding it or starting it up Any ideas
Red beard , so if I put a new mickini carb on , Do I have to buy a new cable to (bt200x) , or do I use the old one which came with the bike , I'm not knowing , please help ,Jay😊
I think I remember you saying your from TN. I'm about 50 miles SE of Nashville. I have alot of kart racing engines, parts and tooling for sale if your interested.
@@RedBeardsGarage Hey red beard. I'm new to the kart stuff so I put the 22m carb on an now it idles up an when u press the gas pedal it dies? any ideas why?
Is the gasket between the manifold and cylinder necessary? Because believe i had a massive intake vacuum leak due to improper gasket installation. I took the gasket off and I'm about to order a new one but if I don't need it i will try running the engine without it.
Looks like a fun project! I have a baja warrior mini bike with a predator 212 and I really want to do some modifications to it. So far I've only put on a new high flow air filter. I plan on putting on this carb. What's the best top plate to use for this engine? What's a good external fuel tank (around 1 gallon) that I can mount on my mini bike? Do I need special fuel tubing to connect from my external fuel tank to the new carb? Thanks in advance. Love the channel.
When you add this carb to the engine and connect the throttle cable directly to the carb, are you bypassing the top plate? What breather and head cover do you have?
On the fuel line to use just go to a part store and pick some fuel line up that fits your barbs. I make most of my engine plates out of aluminum. You can buy a engine plate on ebay but you have to bend it some to make it work.
Hi can you please tell me if i have to change the jet when putting on a new airfilter?? I do not want a performance increase i just find that the stock airfilter doens't look as good and takes away alot of space! So i would like to just change that and keep the original jet. Thank you!
I Am putting a harbour freight 212 engine can you tell me where you got your carburetor and also the neck and do you have the model #s or description ?
I installed one of these like you did in the video. Although every time I start it up it Revs very high then when I turn the choke off it kills it! I’ve tried probably almost every adjustment possible on it. PLEASE help?!

Hey Red Beard, because of your channel I myself bought my son a minibike and just finished building 1 for myself.. it’s all thanks to your videos and know how I was able to do this.. Thank you sooo much!!!
Ok. I'm sold. I'll be ordering one of these for my kart today.
Honestly sliding the barrel in and screwing it on is one of the most satisfying things of working on engines and carbs.
This is a good video, but like the others, nobody shows how to connect the overflow tubes. Can you
show us how to properly hook up the tubes? Thanks!
Was this ever figured out?? Can find any videos on it
@The Truth of the Matter generally you run your overflow right to the ground, taking care to avoid your exaust and anything else that might be hot. It should never leak fuel unless it's dirty or there's a problem with the float. 👍🏼

+kz6fittycent thanks man. I just came up with it one night and it worked very well.
a dab of super glue works too.
Chris W this worked for me!!! Thx
Owen Stephenson No prob glad to help.
I have a stock 212 will I mess up the engine if I just throw a new carb on it and run. And do I have to do other things as well like flywheel, rods, piston?
What notch should i put my needle on bc i have a original cam shaft nothing its upgraded
The carburetter rods are super easy to remove with a hammer drill tighten it on as tight as you can and put her in reverse takes 10 seconds
If only I had seen this earlier😂
Buy a Park Tool or similar cable cutter. It is a tool designed to specifically cut brake and shifter cable and will prevent fraying that happens when you cut with a regular pair of snips
do you have to take the governor gear out or can you just take the linkage off someone plz respond
I need to know the same thing😂😭
@@xX_Firecarnix_Xx did y’all find any info on that i am in the same boat
Just got my predator Gov out head ported and polished and big box of goodies be here tomorrow from go power sports with the makuni carb in it thanks red for confidence to do it
Will my old fuel line that originally comes with the predator gas tank be able to hook to the mikuni since the fuel line attaches on the other side?
+Thirsty Dog Garage you may need to get a longer piece.
Red Beard's Garage that's what I was thinking. Thank you
It would be much easier to just drill out the hole whole in the stock backing plate to be bigger.
Can you tell a major difference in performance?
Drill it out as big as the carb hole cause the motor hole is way bigger than the carb hole so you only want to go so far cause if you go farther you'll have vacuum leaks
@The Truth of the Matter it works good I did it to mine
I don't mean to be critical, but you spend time on the obvious things like the air filter, but you never mention the fuel hose or those two pink hoses on the carb. Where do they go?
You should have moved the clip on the needle valve when you had the chance you'll see move it to the second one second notch from the top
hey whats best, just upgraded the jet or a whole new carb? Also what if it runs too rich
When installing the new carb. What do you do with the governor?
Remove all the old stock governor stuff bc the carb has a throttle line that goes in the carb
hey red beard i was wondering if you could maybe make a short vid on how to tune the mikuni. i have a 212 also. mods are: mikuni 22mm, header, no gov, black mamba cam, billet flywheel, 26lb springs, arc rod, fuel pump& filter, i had the 130 main & 17.5 pilot in it but i put the stock jets back in. and ive tried moving the clip all the way up and down, ive screwed the air/fuel screw on the bottom of the carb all the way out to lean it out as much as possible and still every time i pull the plug its pitch black. it idles and runs fine tho. it doesnt cut out or backfire i can rev it to the moon and it keeps on going and doesn't fall flat. i just cant figure out why im still fouling the plug?. so yea man any info would help. oh yea and once the plug starts to foul of course it gets harder to start and i get (ALOT) of white smoke from the exhuast everytime i go to crank it. i thought white smoke was a lean problem??? so yea lol as you can see im a little confused. im assuming theres no way in hell the stock jets on the mikuni are to big for the mods i have. so yea any info you can give on how to tune these things would be much appriciated!. thank you!.

hey red beard, do i need a new throttle cable for the coleman ct200u? Its the only thing keeping me from getting a mikuni cuz I dont know anything about throttle cables or where to put the gov cable
You can keep the stock one
What about the hose coming out of the valve cover?
Can you please tell me where you got the valve cover breather. Thank you

One more question... is there some way to adjust idle on that carb? I put one on my predator, just like your video. But don't see how to adjust the idle. Thank you.
The adjustment for idle is on the side of the carb facing the pull start
Appreciated. This thing runs strong now! Enjoy your videos.

Hey man i know this is a old video but i was wondering what types of jet i need for the mikuni and a exhaust or is stock fine
Dont know if you have found an answer or not but I believe the mikuni comes with the correct jet in it unless you live in a high altitude area

Keep it up red beard, you vids are awesome I love binge watching them. Also I am planning to build a gocart w/ a 212 predator and I want to do upgrades to it.
Awesome man thanks for watching
How much throttle cable should be exposed inside the carb. Exactly 💯
I'm confused, just installed a Mikuni 22 on my Predator 212. 1 - Now, it runs great when the lever with rubber tip is up. Does that mean the choke is off? I've been researching this and there are opposing answers. 2 - it starts best in the mid position then I flip up, is that normal? Thanks :). (The engine is brand new, I removed the oil sensor and governor). Why did they put the idle screw waaay under the carb? Hard to get to.

As far as the different hoses on the Mikuni, how do we know which one gets connected to what? Dumb question, but it’s my first build. I’m installing a 24mm flat side to my 212.
Nice drifting! I need to get 2 of those carbs for the dual 212cc kart that I am putting together. I need two of the manual clutches as well lol. Great video, keep them coming!
Yes they would make a huge difference. That thing is going to be mean.
First you have port and polish the intake to make a difference no matter how big your carb is the intake Is small only so much air can get in
That’s not a Mikuni that go Powersports is selling it’s a replica and it can be had on eBay for 30 bucks however the intake that comes with that kit is a good product but the kit that they sell is extremely overpriced considering the carburetor is a replica
I bought this carb from gopowersports then seen they were cheaper on ebay you can get the carb and intake for $54 on Amazon way over priced ....
Yup I'm got mine for 50 on Amazon..
They actually tell you its a replica to get a genuine you gotta pay 40 more bucks i hate to say but gopowersports is a overpriced joke... actually whats funny is they sell on ebay bought a throttle cable off ebay cuz it was cheaper and free shipping came in a go powersports box had all the sticker and a receipt with gopowersports on it, you'd have to be damn fool to buy it off there website
Even the genuine mikuni thats a fake ?
Redbeard ur yardkart build what width tires and size front and rear,seen pictures it looks so much better
So is the flat slide 24mm Mikuni carb that much better than this Chinese 22 mm round slide carb ? More jets available ?
I put a mikuni carb on my 212 predator on my mini bike but my rear wheel won't stop I put it on the lowest setting what can be my problem
Hey red beard will the Mikuni work with the factory predator gas tank and if so would it need a fuel pump or would gravity feed be sufficient?
I have used it with one before and it worked good
i just did the header, intake and jet to my predator 212, Ive also put a zip tie through the governor spring. what would you suggest i do for my next engine modification?
18lb valve springs and mod2 cam
thank you!
After installing my mikuni carb, the motor took about 20 pulls to start, and then shut off quickly afterwards when I revved it a bit. Should I be worried?
can you post a video of you doing this on a 212cc predator on a mini bike? or if you have can you post the link?

I will replace with mikuni carburetor. the governor must be removed or fixed in the machine. for the governor gear inside the crank , tank's
i bought a mikuni 22mm carb and when i take it off choke it slowly climbs in rpms and wont slow down. any idea on what i can do to fix it?
+Captin flynn the slide must be sticking. See if the slide is falling all the way back down
Do you have a video showing how to choose the proper jets? I ordered a mikuni for my predator 212. It has cam, intake, exhaust, and valve springs

just got one it was a VN22 Mikuni carb but its a 26mm not a 22mm
Hey awesome build! Questions; do I have to get a billet flywheel and/or change valve springs just to safely remove the governor? Why 22mm carb? Why not like 30?

I'm thinking of just doing the easy bolt on stuff, filter, mikuni carb, header, the 80ish dollar torque converter on Amazon, then I have a used chain it came with, and the the back sprocket looks alright. Then I was gonna do the governor bypass, the one where you move the spring not the zip tie method. Any suggestions or tips?
Hi I watch you video I doint want to Install a carburetor i bypassed the governor with a spring so if I installed this carburetor will It automatically by pass the governor
What size of Mikuni would you recommend for a coleman 196cc? How much $? And where to buy it from?
go power sports has the real mikuni 22mm or the fake ones. I would much rather spend my money on the real one
Thanks for the video, will try the carb on my next build.
I remember when this came out 5 yrs ago, pullin the bike out in the spring, glad to be back.
yes SIR !!! Im wanting to no were you get the adaptor for the mikuni carb to the 212 predator engine,think you i like watching you and learn alot.
It is a kit on Go Power Sports. Thanks for the support!
What do you do with the governor rod and will the makuni work with the regular fuel tank instead of the fuel pump you have installed?
Exactly! What do you do with the governor rod?
So I have a 22mm Mikuni carb on my 212 and it seems to be getting to much gas and it come out the overflow when I’m riding it or starting it up Any ideas
its probably the float sticking. Pull the bowl off and give it a good cleaning
Red beard , so if I put a new mickini carb on , Do I have to buy a new cable to (bt200x) , or do I use the old one which came with the bike , I'm not knowing , please help ,Jay😊
@redbeard I installed the mukini carb but can only get about a quarter throttle. Anymore throttle and it wants to shut off....Any suggestions?
Hello, I was wondering if there are any channels that modify Briggs and Stratton engines
Hey RB what's up! What is the term "clocking the carburetor and filter" refer to?? How is that done and what's the purpose of it? Thank you as well.
Some times on bikes you need to clock the carb to keep it upright. Thats where the float in the carb will work correctly.
Red Beard's Garage got ya! Thanks bro!
When I full throttle it starts to bog, but any less than that it performs best, anyway to fix that or just leave it like that?
What do you do with the left over lever coming out the engine after you take the old throttle off
You can unbolt the whole thing, but then you should probably remove the governor shaft and gear from inside the engine
Ive got a HSR42 on my motorcycle, man that thing is HUGE compared to the 22.
I think I remember you saying your from TN. I'm about 50 miles SE of Nashville. I have alot of kart racing engines, parts and tooling for sale if your interested.
+Chad Choate yeah email me greg@rbgkarts.com
Did you have to re-jet that at all? Or mess with the pilot jet or anything? Was it good to go right out of the box?
+2SlickNick yeah it's basically a full performance upgrade right out of the box
@@RedBeardsGarage Hey red beard. I'm new to the kart stuff so I put the 22m carb on an now it idles up an when u press the gas pedal it dies? any ideas why?
@@RedBeardsGarage yeah dude answer what byron says dude
when adding a mikuni carb, the governor has to be removed, correct?
Is the gasket between the manifold and cylinder necessary? Because believe i had a massive intake vacuum leak due to improper gasket installation. I took the gasket off and I'm about to order a new one but if I don't need it i will try running the engine without it.
+XxbossdogxX yeah you need it or it's just going to have bad idles
ok cool. Because I was idling at like 5000 rpm.
Thats probably why
Which direction is choked on that carb? Press down for choke? Or pull up? Anyone know?
Pull up for choke
Awesome. Thank you.
"deez nuts" haha got em lol. Nice video btw, you're very thorough with your how to's. Subscribed.
So go power sports has the option for a 48mm adapter and 65mm adapter. What size are you using?
So what’re the two pink tubes coming out of the carburetor?
Looks like a fun project! I have a baja warrior mini bike with a predator 212 and I really want to do some modifications to it. So far I've only put on a new high flow air filter. I plan on putting on this carb. What's the best top plate to use for this engine? What's a good external fuel tank (around 1 gallon) that I can mount on my mini bike? Do I need special fuel tubing to connect from my external fuel tank to the new carb? Thanks in advance. Love the channel.
When you add this carb to the engine and connect the throttle cable directly to the carb, are you bypassing the top plate? What breather and head cover do you have?
On the fuel line to use just go to a part store and pick some fuel line up that fits your barbs. I make most of my engine plates out of aluminum. You can buy a engine plate on ebay but you have to bend it some to make it work.
Ok, thanks.
I have the same one
Hi can you please tell me if i have to change the jet when putting on a new airfilter?? I do not want a performance increase i just find that the stock airfilter doens't look as good and takes away alot of space! So i would like to just change that and keep the original jet. Thank you!
I’m new to go karts so do I have to put the throttle cable on the front of the carburetor
looking at getting a kit for a 212cc motor but not sure what is meant by the adapter size choice? 48 or 65 mm thanks for any help!
I'm in the same situation. did you ever figure it out?
I’m curious to know the answer as well. If anyone knows the answer, please share!
I Am putting a harbour freight 212 engine can you tell me where you got your carburetor and also the neck and do you have the model #s or description ?
+Karen Iasimone go power sports and the link is in the video description
Quick question when you bypass the governor do you put the throttle cable to the mikuni or keep it on the governor
I installed one of these like you did in the video. Although every time I start it up it Revs very high then when I turn the choke off it kills it! I’ve tried probably almost every adjustment possible on it. PLEASE help?!
Peyton Thomas did you solve problem?
Check fer air leak notice ol' Red made a gasket between intake n' motor
Check for gasket leaks and if that's good then might need fuel screw adjusted for more fuel
So do you have to install a bigger carb. on a ct200u to get the new jet from a stage 1 mod. kit to preform at all?
What size of adapter did you guys use? On go power sports, there is a 48mm, and a 65mm. What size should I get?
