Is a wide coil gap better on a Predator 212?

Is a wide coil gap better on a Predator 212?
Tested different coil gaps on the ARC billet flywheel on the 212-powered Azusa minibike to see what gap would make the bike run the best.

    The coil primary wire to the plug...I have done this on a Hammerhead go kart...From the coil take solid core wire uncoated...One end make a ground connection to the engine block...Then start coiling the solid core wire tight one layer to about one inch from the end of plug...Then wrap insulation tape or elec. tape to cover exposed wire...When I first did this the spark was much more intense than the normal spark...Brighter, defined, more horse power...This simple mod may make a difference...Try it and see if it works then do a video on it...

    Getting the coil further away, causes less magnetig drag on the flywheel. .080" is probably max distance or close to it, before you lose too much spark energy. Pretty cool experiment! Thanks for running that test!

    Didn't say which fuel or timing key. I believe that flywheel is timed for methanol with a straight key. If it's on gas the timing would be too high so more gap would retard the timing for more speed. ARC has factory specs for timing and coil gap that are pretty much right on. Also, I would get a pair of racing gloves and shoes that cover your ankle.

    Maybe you can help me i have a tillotson 212 and when i first start it it takes a few cranks when i start running it say around the block then come back turn it off. Then wait a minute or so and try and turn it back on it will not start even when i have choke on. Could it be timing if any or gap between ignition coil. But when i finally get it running again it will sometimes bog out when i give it gas. Hopefully you can help. Love your videos too.

    You ever had issues with the slipstream coil gap to close? Under .05 would it give no spark? I’m having issues with spark on my 200 hisun. Wondering if I burned my coil setting to close. I didn’t realize they needed that gap I had set mine at .035 I get spark occasionally but if I gap it that far no I get nothing. Assuming coil is bad now?

    Not really man. You need a good solid fitting pilot and a trued grinding wheel on an arbor or a carbide cutter. Good news is, you can buy a small engine cutter set for only 60 bucks nowadays. They have the pilots, and 45 degree seat cutter. Plus they come with 30 and 60 degree cutters for narrowing/moving the actual sealing area on the seat. Make your money back by doing 3 angle valve jobs for your buddies. :)

    I just watched a video saying the new ghost engines are rpm limited by the coil. The video said it's printed on the coil itself. I have a preditor 212 hemi. I am not sure it's true or just a ghost thing. Do you have any coil recommendations or do you run a stock coil. I was just going to upgrade my plug wire not the whole coil. 7mm 0 ohm wire solid copper core and lower profile boot. Does it matter in your opinion. If wider gap .080 made a difference this might . Thanks!

I have a 79cc predator that couldn’t run WOT without choke. Tried 2 new stock carburetors and a pz19 carburetor and even jetted the 19mm but still had the same problem. Any idea what is causing that?

    Things I'd pay attention to first: good fuel, good carb gasket seal, clean air filter, correct spark plug gap, good contact with spark plug boot, fuel lines of appropriate size, enough height difference that fuel makes it to the engine, proper flywheel/coil gap. If none of that works, you might have gotten a lemon or it's worn out enough that it doesn't have good compression. I'm not a mechanic though, so maybe you'll get some better ideas from others

    That's all the surface-level stuff I can think of. I'm assuming the engine hasn't suffered any catastrophic damage from running without oil or something. I hate to waste a salvageable engine, but those 79's are cheap enough that it might save you some grief to just get a new one.
