just installed on my XP cart . easy and well worth it. definitely noticed a power improvement

sweet mod man. I think im going to keep the stock one on my mini bike. also congrats on 500 subs!

Not really an issue here, but common practice to remove a stud without damaging it is to thread two nuts onto the end and tighten them against each other. You can usually then turn the inner nut with a wrench and the stud will come out.

Can you tell me where to go to get that Carb and the correct throttle cable please? I have a Doodlebug frame if this matters. Thank you.

Will these bolt up to a 212cc power horse motor? Looks the same as a predator, besides the color being blue. I'm thinking it will, but would like to know for sure.

I noticed that you did not use any gaskets for the carb or intake... is this ok? Thanks!

Carb throat (22mm Mikuni) should be just smaller than the valve diameter. In this case (assuming it's a 1st generation Predator212) it has 25mm intake valves. If it were a Hemi with 27mm intake valves, I'd go with a 26 mm carb. Just my 2 cents.

I would argue yes. If the governor is bypassed (by taking off factory linkage) then the plastic governor will be spinning too fast inside the crankcase and could break. That could really ruin a day

so are they for sale yet

When add a MIKUNI 22 mm carb upgrade, and you remove that plastic governor gear out of the engine case along with the governor armature up to where the throttle linkage used to be..do you really have to replace the carb jets and other parts along with the engine valves ? or can i just bolt on the Mikuni 22 mm carb without the governor and just run the Predator 212 as a stock engine without the governor gear slowing it down?

@KartItofficial

6 жыл бұрын

Removing the gear is a precaution. After bypassing the governor, if you leave the gear in, you risk the possibility of the gear coming apart at higher RPMs. You can leave it in, but it’s just one less thing to worry about if you remove it and it’s really easy to do. You can bolt the Mikuni on a stock predator and run it without upgrading anything, but the valves will float at higher rpm, but for a non-racing application you will be fine with a stock motor with the Mikuni.

@oldguyjohnretrolifestyle9281

6 жыл бұрын

Well even if the governor gear is removed, and the gear arm to the linkage plate (also removed,as that linkage plate wont be needed in favor for the Mikuni's throttle setup), will i need to buy the better quality valve springs for the higher RPM performance ? the stock engine valve springs and the stock MIKUNI 22mm metering jets will not need to be upgraded ? that will certainly help keep the parts cost down ;)

I agree. The direct throttle cable alone is worth it. I've never driven a Ferrari or anything, but I imagine those kinds of cars to have the same kind of throttle response. It's obvious the stock throttle linkage was really meant for generators and such that are running at a constant RPM. For our purposes we really need much better throttle control. these round slides really do the best job.

+redneck4life887 To me, the smoother idle and throttle response is worth it alone. There is a noticeable power gain too. More noticeable than just your standard intake filter and exhaust header pipe mods. It starts much easier as well. Like I said in the video, it's my favorite mod so far. I've always hated the stock throttle setup on these engines because it wasn't very smooth and was part of the reason the bike was hard to control. It would just take off whenever the throttle would finally break open instead of letting me feather in the throttle. This is all because the throttle cable is directly connected to the carb instead of having to go through all the linkages.

Whats the advantage of the Mikuni of a stock carb?

@KartItofficial

7 жыл бұрын

Michael'sMotors There's a few advantages. The better throttle response and control being one of the biggest. The cable directly connects to the slide on the carburetor and therefor you don't have any binding of linkages like you get sometimes with the stock style setup. Performance is the other big advantage. Out of the box you will feel a small power increase due to the added air and fuel volume the engine is able to take in. I also feel the engine fires and run smoothly due to more precisely metered fuel. Due to the nature of air and fuel mixtures through, certain applications may need more jet tuning to get it just right.

Bryce Glover Thats pretty large for this small of an engine. It doesn't move near enough air through the cylinder to support that large of a carb. It would probably start and run, but would bog down when you opened the throttle. Maybe a race style clone engine with head work and cam can support it. Also I believe the mounting flange is a different side when you go up to that size so you'd have to make an intake manifold adapter to mount it.
