FYI Use a ice pick, or sharp point carpenters awl, or sharp marking scribe to catch that annoying time consuming lock ring on the govonor post and drive it DOWN. When it is driven down, it pops open enough to then pry off with the same sharp point tool. Takes a few seconds. I wrapped a piece of rag down in there, so it couldn't spring into the crank case. Also, a dab of any grease on a cotton swab, piece of rag, or screw driver will pick up most inadvertant debris or shavings. I put the whole engine back together, and had to take it back apart because I forgot to remove that little spacer washer at the bottom of the shaft. Fortunately, it had not migrated around in the engine. Thank you for your excellent "how to" it worked for me!

by far the best video i’ve seen on the subject, great explanations

Finally someone who does it exactly how I do to a "T" I've watched like 6 vids jus to compare. No need to complicate things. Good video!

This is the only video that has helped me thank you so much!!

Excellent video guys!

Best video I found on explaining this 👍

watched 10 videos of people breaking them out ... popped the flywheel and tapped the whole gear assembly into the case from outside in a bout 30 seconds including rattling the sheet metal and flywheel off lol

Extremely helpful, thank you!

You guys are awesome! Love the coveralls, you guys fit right in with the mini bike lifestyle.

The governor bar that hangs down when you're done, I just took it out and cut it. And then put the little piece that comes out of the motor back in

Fantastic. Love the now obvious logic of keeping that oil sensor plug in place. could the same be done on the governor arm even in the vent you werent keeping the stock throttle items in place? Thankas for the great video!

The 3rd and most easy way to remove the governor is to remove the linkage that connects the governor arm to the throttle arm on the carburetor. By using the original manual throttle control arm (supplied with predator 212 ) as a perfect place to drill a small hole and relocate the cable connector that are in the wrong place for a minibike throttle. So the original throttle cable clamps to the throttle control assembly on the engine. Its cable pulls the arm to control the throttle and a compression spring returns it to ithe dle stop position. You just need to make a small offset bend in a bicycle spoke to make a pushrod to connect throttle control arm to the carburetor throttle arm. Now when you give it the gas, no governor is interfering. Meanwhile it (the governer) still has its arm, gears and its hapoy thinking its doing its job. Too much trouble disassembling engine. But there are 1000 different ways to skin a cat. Good video, i still watched as you offer much to learn from, and keep up the good work.

Good comment Totally agree on the 'guvner'. Not worth the trouble and possible f-up on a new engine. Maybe at the first required tear down. Same for oil sensor. Just disconnect.Good video though. Tnx.

Great Videos ! helping out alot ! Do I have to remove the oil sensor? here in Florida just flat roads etc. If not how do I hook up the kill switch?thanks

Torque spec for crankcase bolts is 17ftlbs. It should be torqued in a criss-cross pattern (just like you tighten your lug nuts). Can you just disconnect the governor linkage and preload it with a spring to keep it on the inertial actuator in the case without breaking your case open? I have read that the GX200 clones are good to ~5500rpm with stock internals.

I have no idea why so many do it this way messing with that clip. I would rather pull the flywheel and punch the governor assembly out and plug the hole. You could pull the blower housing, flywheel and tank off before you take the side cover off. Once the side cover is off you simply punch the governor assembly out from the back after you move the crank into position. Easy.

I pull flywheel and knock gear out from behind the flywheel I then push Sam rod from plastic gear back in the hole

you can bump the side cover off with a mallet and preserve the gasket.

Magnetizing a screwdriver can be done by coiling a wire completely covering the shaft. Ten sparking te wire across positive and negative of a 12v battery.

After removing the oil sensor and snip the yellow wire you mentioned keeping the yellow connector for a monster moto 80 cut off switch on the handle bars. Do you have a video showing how to install that part?

That low oil sensor hole is an ideal place to put a 1/8npt hose barb...for vacuum pulse...for a fuel pump.

That last lil washer is always a pain for me...sometimes takes me longer to get the washer then to remove the gear and cut the arm....lol

After getting a cam, pvl flywheel , rod and 22lb springs should i upgrade rockers to or will i be fine

So if you cage the governor spring, it will increase top RPM? Just want to clarify.

is there a better way to remove the little washer after you remove the governor?

I had a question: When you zip tie the governor spring does it stop the throttle from going into full throttle?

The difference is like they said, removing the side cover allows you access to pull the low oil sensor/kill.. Otherwise you could stall out over rough terrain, or hard turns..

To prevent the bolt plug from jamming up your engine you can bust out the like 125 Flux core wire buddy and kill the nut.

I bought a new billet rod and it slightly hits my sensor and causes it to shut the engine down. I'm not 100% sure thats the exact problem but its the only thing I can think of. Arc billet side cover is better.

So what happens if you don’t remove pieces of governor inside with it explode?

So the zip tie does exactly the same as removing the govenor ?

@Deucealive75

Pretty much. The zip tie prevents the governor from pulling the throttle toward the closed position. But there is still the concern that some have that there is the possibility of the governor gear to come apart at higher RPM.

Hey I’ve never herd it called a rattle gun just curious where you guys from?

good vid bros cant u just vac the debris out or use compressed air somehow then relube her up

Great video. I am looking into getting this engine for my minibike I’m restoring. After removing the governor are there any other parts that should be changed to avoid blowing the thing blowing up?

@LetsBuildThat

James A , removing the governor really means you need to make peace with the fact that it could blow up. That being said, valve float will limit your top RPM, and if you put stronger valve springs in you’ll then be pushing the limits of the flywheel and rod. So, if you want to go all out: 30+lb valve springs, billet flywheel, billet rod, upgraded rockers. Etc.

Hey man I pull governor's out these motors everyday. You can cut that Governor arm from the top of the motor. You have enough room to pull it out the bottom end. You can still use the stock throttle all you do is hook a new rod from the butterfly off the carburetor into the throttle arm and also run a spring from that butterfly to the throttle arm works perfect. If you do that you can leave the gear. There isn't anything to activate it.

Define "better". Zip tie-ing doesn't involve opening the case. Opening the case doesn't leave any spinny bits inside your case that are now destined to exceed their design RPM. It all depends on how comfortable you are with what you are doing. Personally - zip tie it and go!

Are you sure you don't need to remove that governor arm? I was gonna take it out, cut the end off before the curve and put it back in to seal the hole (and still use the stock throttle linkage). But if I can leave it in without issue I'll do that instead.
