Buy a ghost here: (www.harborfreight.com/212cc-g...)

I'm so glad you pointed out the pulse fitting. I just got my predator ghost in, and the non predator pulse pump I ordered is definitely missing that piece. Ordering today.
The one thing I needed to see, how you set the throttle cable up, was completely cut out. Awesome. Lol.

Hi Tanner...run across & Google Calis Azusa, I think you'll find what you need there , cable fixtures & fittings etc..,have a look they've got an online catalogue...easy still if you fit a mild 22mm bike slider carbs to it if you've got a std predator or 160-196cc- 212cc clone engine, especially if you've disconnected the governor/throttle likeage, fitting a bike slider type carb makes hooking up a throttle cable as easy as fitting on a bike.Cheers from NewZealand.
What exhaust are you using on the cart looks awesome!!! or is it custom?
Considering the dent on the top it looks like it was dropped and possibly bent ot damaged the crank
That is sick AF!!!
man i love this build so much

My ghost motors make the same exact sound. I did a 3ish hour break in and then a 100 mile mini bike trail enduro event. I was running max throttle for like 4 hours with no breaks other than to refill. Still runs great 🤷♂️

After you take the plastic governor part off can you leave the other sprocket on the shaft or do you need to remove that to
I love the build bro, what frame is this?
Bro i just bought a junker and currently building it up..my color is the same exact color is yours .keep up the good videos
I'd take it back at the sight of the bent plate. Pretty strong impact to do that

If only making things simple was… simple. I’ll have a ground up race chassis restomod coming. I know the supply of frames is so low so my main goal is plan + parts list to get more people building themselves🔥
Awesome
My ghost quit starting. Did everything g I could, changed coil , then started smoking out of carb , I just took it out and put a tillotson back in it , much happier
What's your hub setup for your back wheels?
Try VP 4 cycle fuel. Its ethanol free, 94 octane. I run it in my 212 and its a huge difference. It starts first pull most of the time and I dont even choke it anymore, it runs amazingly especially paired with the Autolite predator racing spark plug. I was blown away by the results

Run 100 race gas if you can. It's honestly the best for these lil engines
what i love is you talk bad about that it "shouldnt" sound like that but put no effort into explaining or showing why.... if it doesnt sound right then crack it open and figure out why. this will be a big help to the rest of the community. just shaking your head and saying it shouldnt sound like that isnt a definite answer to anything.
Yoooo where did you get the motor mount? Sick build by the way
Hope you have better luck with the new one
Can you please upload a quick video or youtube short for the Engine mount. Ik its easy but idk how to do it lol
yeah buddy! awsome drifting and nice build! brochacho 's got it going on with this build! just put a super charger on it! plz.plz plz.

What kind of mounts are you using? Looking to buy one like yours for my kart

Waow cool frame :O
2:40 there's lots of predators to watch out for growing up in California

Can you show how you did the throttle set up to the ghost. I don’t get it how to install to it
16:21 saw a bug crawling in the back ground 😂
I was so excited to see it around my neighborhood 😞
Just installed thus engine on my coleman bt200x and makes the same knocking sound and vibration is nuts on it until I hit 19mph then goes away until I some to a stop or I have to slow down but with a Mikuni racing carburetor and a uni air filter and a racing clutch and a straight chain shit hits 70mph
I had the first ghost in Owensboro ky, and my cam was 180 out
you need to switch the coil out believe it or not it has an rpm limiter you do that you get all the rpm you want when you get anew one jsyk
Welcome to the Predator Ghost Engines, I've only seen videos on them where they shake so bad after a couple minutes of running. For the price of a Ghost Racing Engine and the Accessory kit, I can buy a 10hp Tillitson 212 and save a bunch of money and have better performance.
I hope this one works then the last one

All you had to do is loosen the chain a tab bit
Somewhere arround “10.20” if you look at the floor visible between the seat and steering wheel there is a bug running across the floor😂
I have the same noise on mine haven't taken it back yet im on day 33 ride it almost everyday! Im nit sure if its something wrong but there is alot of slop in crank
Aye man are u in Bakersfield by any chance??? I'm asking because I heard u say Delano
hey jacob can you tell me what the exhaust is called i really want it for my personal go-kart
Bro, what engine mount is that I’ve been looking for it
Hi. Can you put electric starter on your kart.
Hey my friend, I am from Egypt and I follow your work very much and admire your Arabic My son himself rides a buggy like yours, maybe

Where do you buy your frames?
What kind of motor mount is that and whered u get it?
Should go exchange for a new box. I'm sure they'll honor the return policy.
Where did you get your exhaust
JUST how long is the break in period some people say 10 hours
Where can I get one exactly like your go kart😮
try to put the keyway back on it thats probably why n is loose
Hi, what make or model go kart frame is this one? Where can i purchase one? Thank you
was there a spider that crawled over the floor at 16:21? hahahah
What jets come in those carbs?
Did you ever determine what it is that’s actually making that noise? I just go this engine because my old gx200 had rod issues and made that same noise. Now the new ghost I got makes the same noise but louder!! I just want a motor that sounds like a motor. 😡😫 have you determined a way to fix this clattering? It sounds like it’s banging on the blower housing or cord recoil. Idk. It’s very annoying!!
how did you support a new engine, this chassis is from a normal kart
Late as hell for this comment... How close does the Corvette bed match up to one of the karts as a body kit?

@Jasonkartracing

It really depends on how your going to build the engine. If you’re going to leave the motor pretty much stock and you have a heavy kart go with the torque converter if you’re doing a engine build with a heavy kart go with the torque converter with a juggernaut. If your kart is light and you’re going to be on the road a lot get a clutch and if you modify the motor with a spicy cam you’ll need to change the spring in your clutch to get the rpm’s up before it grabs cause performance cams raise the torque of the engine to a higher rpm. Most all cutches like max torque and cheap knock offs have a spring to change. If you want a clutch with some adjustments get a bully, viper, cheetah something like that they cost alot but worth it
What type of haase frame is that?
Crank spacers my guy
What’s your muffler?
That’s funny that you couldn’t get one in Cali until now considering Cali was the first one to get one also look up where they were assembled . Look at my channel I had it before everyone in the country did . Good video nonetheless.

Put a billet flywheel in it before you even start it !!.. they put a crappy DANGEROUS cast flywheel in those. don't take any chances, change it out. Those cast flywheel are a bomb waiting to go off.
