@DavidMartinez-uz2vf it was custom made by an engineer out west. There were 3 in existence.

@Tumb0_33 it looks even better now.

@modernmountaineer I've tried many slide carbs. I've had to tune many of them and it gets old. It's easier to run stock style carbs that all use the same style jets. I have 3 carbs that look stock but are machined for higher performance. No fuel pumps required either which is nice.

@@albertpeterson7134 I'm working 60+ hours a week and driving 2 hours a day, 6 days a week. I literally can't get any free time

@@Tumb0_33 sure is. I have a few. They haul plenty of butt if you build them correctly.

@@fatbuddycat I plan on doing so..I am about to buy a used bt200x and figure I would be better off building out the 196 plus it'll give me some experience with these engines

@fatbuddycat why do you think you are getting no top end? Is it the gear ratio? I want to do the same exact thing you are doing but make it more of a street bike as opposed to trail

@Tumb0_33 I'm running a Dynocams CS 265. It has added lift with less duration to promote a constant torque curve. To get more top end, I'd recommend the Dynocams CM 265 (aka The Super X). Same lift but more duration. Duration holds the valves open longer, which allows more fuel/air in and exhaust out.

@@fatbuddycat thank you man I'm sure I'll have some more questions as I go..I appreciate it 🙏🏻

@Tumb0_33 yup, just removed the fender and light.

@@markharris1473 that's like 86 thousandths.

@fatbuddycat is that good clearance? .086? Or 86 thousandths

@Tumb0_33 depends, one bike ended up some knockoffs and the other had the ProTaper Raptor SE.

​@@fatbuddycatsorry I was referring to the black bike...what about the plastics on the black one?? Did you cut them yourself?

@Tumb0_33 black bike has Coleman CC100X front fenders mounted at both ends. I ever so slightly bent the BT200X fender tabs and had to drill a couple holes (extremely easy to do). After I had the holes, I added thick rubber washers to shim them so they looked perfect. Those are genuine ProTaper Raptor handlebars with about an inch trimmed off each end so they don't stick out like doofy looking bull horns..... a lot of people purchase aftermarket handlebars and they skip the trimming process which looks terrible.

@@Tumb0_33 you should see the black one now! 😆 it's got one of those fancy $250 gas tanks that fit in the frame and some better tires.

@ohdirtracer great so far. I made a few minor modifications but mostly just higher quality factory upgrades. It now has 19 inch Kenda Scorpion Tires, a DID Chain, Comet Driver, a Ducar 212 with the governor removed and a 5250rpm limited coil installed, I switched the headlight to battery power with a switch, moved the rear top shock mount forward to raise the rear to be more level.....oh and I added a Coleman tank bag on top of the frame in front of the seat.

Builtwell grips as well!

@Tumb0_33 19 inch tires on stock Ct200ex rims. The tires are Kawasaki Bayou fronts off Amazon.

​@@fatbuddycatstock forks to?

@Tumb0_33 yup.

@jakedrew7365 if I did it again, I'd do something similar.

@matthewcarrillo8551 it's a great bike. I really enjoy riding it when I get home from work. I

@chrisare187Racing you're welcome! I'm just an average guy with a little bit of mechanical knowledge. If someone else can do something, I believe I can accomplish it as well. We get knocked down by others enough throughout our lives, I like to be the guy that won't let people down.

@BangForYourBuckRc yup! it's just a 125cc 4spd Lifan clone. It probably goes about 45 and has been quite reliable so far. When and if it ever fails, I'll likely replace it with an actual Lifan or something better.

@ktownc936 Thanks! I'll make some more this winter, I've been super busy at a new job this year. I try to keep it about the projects and helping others. A lot of dudes get caught up in the whole social media thing and think they are famous. They ask for subscribers and say silly stuff like "remember to smash the like button". I'm not with that mindset, I keep it exclusive like everyone's weird, distant uncle that is good at fixing stuff.

@SoLoCruizer I port heads on brand new engines and used ones. I don't think you have to temper cast aluminum and as far as steel, the seats are pressed in so they ain't giving any sorta s**t. Going. 020 over is a give and take. If the flat top piston they are suggesting sits lower than stock, it will gain compression without taking too much away from the quench and draw. When the piston goes down, it drags fuel and air with it. The higher the piston sits as it gets closer to the deck (top of cylinder), the less it can pull down and force up.

@fatbuddycat sooooo what do u think is the best piston with billet rod combo my man ?

@fatbuddycat omb warehouse sucks when returning stuff taking 5 days it says my return was delivered i was gonna buy another arc rod from there not now I'll go to ec carbs or Dynocams i returned stuff they never made me wait this long to refund my money

@SoLoCruizer delivered and processed are two different things. I ordered the wrong rod for a 224 block and bought the correct one the same day, the new rod showed up before the one I sent out got to PA. I knew the return would go through eventually, I don't sweat it when it comes to the team at omb.

@fatbuddycat yea I guess it's a learning process I just figured the grey goat would have hooked me up i asked him what's the best rod for the 208 duromax instead of telling me there is no billet rod for the wrist pin and the 3.003 isn't the best rod for the simple fact I'm not getting the most room I need out the block therefore it is not the best rod the wrist pin on the duro is too big I could just got it machined down but then I'm not getting the most out this block I gotta find a cam too and I. Seeing this new dLC coated cranks out now what you think about that FBC I gotta just get the best combo so I can save the life on this poor ducar it's starting to make new noises could be the clutch can we swap out the guts on the 14 tooth max torques like can I throw the guts from my 10 tooth in the 14 tooth bell housing type deal or do I just toss them out

@Joes66gto I believe so. It sucks on the mm80 because you lose the gas tank and the exhaust fits like turd.

@@nicholascoombs5122 what did you use to clean it and lube with?

@ktownc936 what bike do you have? There are a lot of different installations.

@@fatbuddycat I'm trying to fit a bravex 30 series torque converter onto a powerfist 212(Canadian predator Clone) on a bt200x. I may need to drill new engine mount holes in the plate on the frame because if I start to bump out the sprocket in the TC the nylon nut has nothing to screw onto. The other issue now is the provided front pulley bolt thread is course while the power fist engine requires a fine thread. Do 212 predators run that bolt course or?

@ktownc936 for my BT200X, I used an adapter and a 54t Azusa steel ring with a few shims to move my wheel sprocket inward.

@@ktownc936 did you cut off the metal piece in front of the rear wheel or use an engine plate?

@@fatbuddycat I used an engine plate to avoid cutting the chain guard mount. The new engine I installed is a 212 predator Clone. It's 3/4 so I didn't need an adapter. I think I have to move the engine, which sucks cause I was trying to keep the frame stock. My only issue is the bolt fine vs course mentioned above and the bigger issue my tc sprocket needs to move away from the TC mounting plate by the size of the spacer they gave me for the front pulley. The problem is there's no thread left over on the back pulley if I were to do so. So I think I have to move the engine over. Does the predator run course threads on the drive shaft? My power fist 212 has fine threads and the bravex torque converter kit only came with a coarse Bolt.

@markharris1473 I've heard of piston shaving, I've yet to do it but I like the concept.

@fatbuddycat well I'm hoping I don't have to shave it. Plus it's ceramic coated too. Not sure if that would suit me or not. I'd prefer not to cut it, but if I have to I'll just buy a flat top piston with the 2 relief valve imprints on the piston

@fatbuddycat I'm really hoping to get this engine done soon. Been working on it forever seems like. I was gonna put it on a mini bike, but I also have an older John Deere XL175 mower frame I also want to put it on. Build up either a dragster mower, or a bad ass little pulling mower for the small tractor pulls we have next door

@markharris1473 I still haven't finished a 224 I started like a year ago. Just need Pushrods and something simple to put it on.

@fatbuddycat I've been working on this project for almost a yr. I have a modified 212 I started, but took it apart somewhat lol. I've been working on that one for 8 yrs lol. But I wanted a stroker engine so now I have one lol. Just waiting on my head from the machine shop to get done. So I can do my clearance. Hoping I won't have to shave my piston lol

@@S3scar thanks! It's a fun little bike to hit the dirt roads on.

@@fatbuddycat I didn't know u was still active untill recently

@S3scar I'd make more videos but I'm balls to the wall with work. I'm putting in 60+ hours and just don't have spare time. I bought a pit bike to try out....factory 160 Track and Trail menace. Should be fun to see how it compares to a mini bike.

@leemalack1848 it's a modified air compressor engine, it won't mind a bit. I ran this exhaust for 6 months on a different bike without a problem before I sold it.

@@trevorshark16 BT200X is a great platform to build on.

@brentwest9977 no problem! The guy who taught me this has built some solid race bikes. It's not about the looks, it's about simple mechanical function that you can rely on.

@kgol4686 who are you asking? I'm not popular but I am known for being thorough. You really gotta be in it for the right reason, I'm not all about entertainment and asking for subscribers.

@poorboytrucking1 not really. The jackshaft on most Chinese mini bikes are junk. A torque converter will get a smoother take off, better acceleration and a higher top speed. Torque Converters provide all the low end power a mini bike needs.

@NathanCoomer-g4k I dunno. I ran it like that for a while with a pretty well built 196 and didn't have any issues.

@jaredkish992 I haven't used the TB parts carbs or parts. I just bought a new pitbike so I'm sure I will eventually.

I’m k just using the TB manifold and the carb itself is the Mikuni vm20 I’m thinking at starting with needle click one down and trying a 110 and 17.5 pilot and go from there 🙌🏼. Looking forward to seeing your new bike build

@CK-mf6du I noticed on some pulleys too that it is more difficult to set the springs. I can usually get a yellow in the center hole but I've come across a couple that it was so difficult I gave up because there was no way it was gonna end well.

@@fatbuddycat that is exactly right. I call it double winding. I honestly don't believe comet wanted them set like that. I believe number 3, max tension, is the only setting that should be preloaded slightly. First and second are half and 3/4 wind, not quite full preload. Ive seen people "double wind" the green spring on hole #3. It will ultimately start popping the spring out of the hole, because too much tension. You already see the yellow spring is near impossible to install like that. Wouldn't be good if could..

@@fatbuddycat the spring coils too tight when set like that, and will make contact with the bushing. It will destroy the bushing and your clutch if you manage to double wind the yellow spring in hole #3

@@fatbuddycat honestly I don't think many people realize this, but it makes sense if your putting one of these torque converters on a minibike that only goes 15 mph or so with the gearing. If the secondary was fully preloaded, take-off would be pretty gnarly for the little folks. Hence not full preload on 1 or 2 setting. Only 3.

@@CK-mf6du my BT200X rips with a yellow in #2, it's a 7500 rpm 196 that probably maxes 50. I'm running a Torkzilla and 10/54 on the sprockets.

@janvandermark2747 I have some videos of ct70 clone on here too. I ride that little 125 more than my motorcycle. We need to go back to Geos, Toyota and Hondas of 90s. The car manufacturers took it all off the market and worked on screwing us with crap nobody can afford to pay cash for or maintain. They called a lot of cars unsafe that were just fine if they stopped making other vehicles so much bigger. It's all a setup that I don't fall for. I believe in scooters and smaller displacements, it is a far better option than going electric. Problem is, if we collectively own cheap vehicles and don't use as much fuel, then certain pieces of s**t out there don't get as wealthy off of us.....plus we wouldn't have to work and produce as many taxes......same exact thing happened to our housing market.

@@fatbuddycat Agreed, its a wealth grab and the banking system doesn't help. It is like we are competing to take on the most debt to continue on with viscous subscriber lifestyle... The illusion of having, but gaining nothing. Spending what we don't have so we can get through the moment with no plans for a future... any who lol. One day at a time.

@tinajones2380 😆 that's new but awesome!

@dallassalinasboxeo2305 some of them are better to listen to in the background while you're working on a project. Sorry about that, I hope the nap was awesome though!!

@wraithjrsnacky7742 that is exactly why I'm so thorough with my presentations. Glad it helped!

@jamesmower1852 it's all in the wheels and tires. The hub adapters and sprocket are pretty lightweight. I used very light spacers for my axle as well. I did go with a heavier axle. It handled much better then stock, the gx160 with a torque converter handled it no sweat. The rest of the bike is stupid light. Could I have used something different.....sure but screw it. It was a sweat mini bike.

@-_-OB1 factory spec. This thing starts easy and runs like a top. Typically I lash tight at .0015 exhaust and intake. I haven't touched these yet. With the correct steps the governor can be removed without touching the valves.
