I have built a 2stroke motorized bicycle with the jug reversed so the intake is in the front and the exhaust exit from the rear.. with a 6inch intake runner..gets good torque and good top speed with a 32t sprocket...from what I have collected out of my own experience..longer the intake runner, better the torque but doesn't really affect the top end speed at all..

Yes! If you look back at the cars from the 1980's like the tuned port camaro . The super long runners on the tuned port manifold gave that car great torque for the day. I figured this would be an intersting video for a small engine.

good comment and info man i miss my 2cycle motorbike build only lasted me 3months this 212 way surpassed my expectations i mean the money i save on gas is incredible

Another great vid. This is something nobody else I’ve seen has talked about! I just got a nibbi carb I’m getting ready to try out

Finally a video on this manifold adaptor I was about to buy one like 1 hour ago. Retune carb different volume of air fuel mixture.

I just like the short intake to keep the carb tucked in a little more for offroad riding. Especially if you dump it…

I like it too. It doesnt realy make a lot of difference either way on this combo. I did the video on a different engine with definitive results.

Thanks for this info, another great video!

Before I watch the video, I'm gonna guess the longer the runner the lower the torque sits in rpm. You should try to make an intake runner that's ridiculously long, around 12 inches, maybe make it so you could take 1 inch sections out and test to see which length runner someone should go with for top speed and trail riding.

I got to subscribe, i need more of these experiments.

Interesting vid.

You should try this experiment with the flat slide carb that has the rubber hose intake. Start with a 10 inch hose and then shorten it by two inches at a time.

good stuff. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Make a long intake one that points the carb to the front of the bike so than it will create "Ram Air" effect (positive manifold pressure)

I have both and prefer the long every time

sound like ya got a cold in this one bud but u thugged it out and killed it

Nice video. I heard the longer intakes give you more torque so maybe that’s why the short one had a slower 0-30. Your top speed was the same because of valve float. You can hear it more clear with the short intake manifold.

Thanks. The engine on this bike has 22lb springs. This was a quick combo I threw together for this video . The carb had way to much jet for the altitude up here. Plug was super dark . I did the video with another bike that was tuned with definitive results. Quite a big difference.

I used a long manifold carb on a mm80 to clear the frame

should spray something around the manifold to make sure it's not sucking air and running lean when you changed them over.

Great video. What is your jetting set up on this bike? Also, do you have any bikes with a genuine Mikuni? I have one I'm having trouble getting jetted correctly. Oddly, my knock-off mikuni carbs are working better than this real one.

Cool video, very interesting. I noticed the valve covers on your bikes, most just have a hole to vent. Are you venting the crankcase this way? Maybe you can do a video with and without crankcase venting, thanks.

What about different carbs sizes?

Great video with the comparison of the intakes is there any possible way you can make a video on what are the mildest mods you can get away with to make power and get great top end without spending so much money for all this billet stuff? Because I just spent $175 on just a rolling mini bike chassis and I plan to put a predator 212 on it but I don’t wanna go as far as in a billet rod and a flywheel in those kind of things by that time I have purchased the motor three times over and yes I get it this is a very expensive hobby I just wanna have fun every now and then with some speed😏 and is it worth it to get the new 224 motor from Harbor freight are they gonna use the same parts as the 212 please do a comparison video on that greatly appreciate your channel and all you do for us forever a subscriber to your channel you’re the best man!

Thanks! I'm happy you like the channel! I hear ya. I'll have to do a series on a 212 budget build. The 224 uses clone parts. All the same stuff on the outside like carb, header, head as the 212. The 224 is worth it because you get a 58 MM stroke and a reinforced block for $40 more over the 212. The 212 is still good though.

That OG mini bike on your channel is freaking incredible. I'm curious why you never tried a flat slide carb on that bike though? Also curious why you haven't tried any of the 28mm pwk flat slide carbs... from my research its about the only carb besides the normal vm 22 people run on clapped out builds. Other than that I wish to copy literally everything you've done lol.

But the only thing about it is is not the easiest to ride being so small , and the steering is super touchy with the rake it has on the handle bars. Thats why I really havent ran a flat slide on it. I like using more stable bikes for speed builds like the stretched Mega Moto 80 . It runs a lot better a speed. I will definately get around to trying out a PWK carb . Im ordering up the parts now to do a super small budget series on a predator 212 that will apply to the 224.
