Valve spring tool is now added to the links. Also, Someone notified me that I used 2 stroke oil in the engine..... Opps lol. Luckily it wasn't ran too much.
460 wildcat! We race FXS lawnmowers with them running 13:1 compression, 40/33mm valves and a Mod1 cam and 34mm flat slide. Love to get an idea what they’d dyno. I realize most wouldn’t run over 10:1.
I never knew that it was dangerous bypassing the governor! I just thought that it was risking the engine not lasting. I’m thankful to God for looking after this old fool because my daughter and I made so many great memories on a go cart that I added a “joy button” to! It was just a lever that forced throttle to go beyond the governed limit but it was so fun! An older 70’s go cart with the 3hp motor replaced by a 13hp would carry the two of us fast enough to make our eyes water and our butts vibrate! We laughed so much! Now I am turning 56 and she has given me two beautiful grandkids and we are all best friends. 🙏🤗❤😂
You should build a model 13 briggs flathead (5 horsepower) I havent seen any videos of people building them so it would be cool to see someone build one and dyno test it!
My prof at small engine course in college did 25 years ago, it was a 3hp, port polish valve seat work, decked the block to increase compression, a motorcycle carb, and a funnel looking exhaust. Don’t remember exactly how much hp it put out but around double so 5+ longevity wouldn’t be what red beard etc are building with AM parts but it was cool back in the day B)
In the past little over a year I have built several of these engines. What I’ve learned is from your videos. My last build I just finished a couple weeks ago I bought a Predator Max 224 it was on sale for around 140.00 I did the plus .020 billet rod that came clearance for the 224 but I still had to work on the block but it wasn’t a lot, the dipper barley touched the front of the block and the rod touched the top of the sleeve. The cam didn’t need any work cause it was for the 224. The cam I used was the 308 lift, flattop piston, stock head that I did a little porting and I shaved the head I don’t know how much but it was a lot, stainless valves, the spring pockets cut out for 36pd springs, aluminum push rods, PVL flywheel and a Ducar carb that I took apart and drilled and smoothed out the smallest part of the carb is where the butterfly is it’s larger than a .690 carb. I contacted an engine builder and got a complete carb build kit. I broke it in by letting it run to temperature a few times changed the oil and let it run through a tank over 30 min. Watching your videos has helped alot.
How well does it run with the bored carb and all that? I didn't go that far with a cam but my 224 runs well with a bored carb in my RPM range. Mine ended up around .670. If you run a lot of RPM you would want a Mikuni flat slide with that cam.
@@Deucealive75 I can’t run a Mikuni I run that kart in the stock appearing class which means the motor has to look stock except for exhaust and air filter. My throttle shaft is filed down with a thin butterfly and I removed the choke. I contacted an engine builder told him what I had and he put together a carb kit a lowside epa jet, main jet, emulsion tube and inlet needle so it took away from having to guess. It revs just like a .22 carb would. Where the butterfly is on my carb the shinny part on the inside is the smallest part of the carb. Bigger though isn’t always better if I had a stock head motor mod2 cam 18pd springs a stock carb with a good jet and aftermarket air filter would be plenty.
@@RedBeardsGarage I have a question unrelated to your video if you don’t mind helping me out. I have a manco streaker mini bike and plan on buying a Coleman minibike tomorrow and doing a engine swap from the manco to the coleman. The manco has 60 tooth rear sprocket and 5 inch tire. My mods are Billet flywheel 18lb valve springs and I bought a carburetor off OMB Warehouse that says race-ready carb rejected. I'm topping out at 43 mph and I'm trying to gain around another 10 mph. By doing a engine swap and transferring everything to the Coleman will I gain speed due to tire size or will I lose speed due to the weight difference.
I wonder what a 12° timing key would have done, that would be 30° advanced as apposed to 32° of most billet flywheels. I'm interested in seeing the 440cc Duromax on ROAD TO HORSEPOWER.
If its possible to beef up that dyno, I'd love to see the big blocks get ther day. So either the Predator 301, 420, Duromax 440, etc that would be great. I know you said the dyno isnt strong enough to do those, but I hope the later series could take on the big blocks. If not, maybe take the old standards the Honda Gx160 and GX200 and see what those can pump out.
Think he might need a different dyno. I'm sure they make a dyno that will cover the entire range but probably more expensive than the one he has. Would love to have one myself.
just ordered a wildcat 223 + a stage 3 kit from EC and the valve tools from your website ,now to find a mini bike to put it on ,awesome video ,thanks for the great info
One very simple upgrade would be to replace the screw that connects the "butterfly" of the carburetor to the rod by a counter sunk screw. The big screw that comes with this carb is pretty beeffy and robs a lot of air flow.
Id like to see 22chikuni next, then fool with timing using 93 pump gas, then a moderate cam - all dynoed in steps. Then a moderate port job of stock head. I'm under the impression that wildcats have more valve angle than any of the others and have nice machining of bowl area too!. They look like a good head to me but others on here seem to disagree. Lets find out!
I’ve really been looking forward to this one. I’d love to see what it can do with a much better carb. Just the way you have it now. I think that would still make it a budget build.
I just want you to know that you are a gem bro. Your videos are like Ivy League classes. I have total confidence I can build an engine thanks to you 🎉🎉
I got engines from 196-212 so I love all your videos! Neat learning about the wildcat stuff in this video. It does apply across board for me and cool to see. Keep up the good work! I got some stuff to order on the Ec website here soon.
How I remove the retainers is just a 12mm long socket with a magnet in the end, sit it on the cap, and tap it one good time with a hammer; works fast and easy for heavier springs
Have almost this exact same setup. It will push my 12ft Aluminum V hull 21mph on a flat day with a 100" swamp runner longtail. 17mph on a rough day against the wind.
I have 2 of the 212 predator engines. One i started building, new flywheel, cam, rod, valve cover, carb, exhaust. I need to get the rest of it. I went all billet parts.
I'd like to see a drag race between two identical engines, gearing, etc. but have the only difference be the type of camshaft. That would prove to a lot of people that low end torque has it's benefits.
I’m happy to see some more wildcat. I wanna see some big bore small block building. That’s personally what I’m most interested in and what I do myself personally. However I’m very patient because I don’t get a bike and immediately ride it and then incrementally upgrade things one at a time. I buy a bike and I don’t do anything until I have every part I want to use and spend a lot of time thinking it all out and then build it. So when you do modify things you have a plan and don’t just do something because it sounds good at the time
Still loving the RB vids hoping for that vent tube explanation on why it’s important and where to put the PCV and if it’s needed to have a catch can with proper venting on a high RPM built motor.
You should go to HF and get yourself a brass hammer. That way you don't have to worry about damaging your nut when removing your flywheel. They are around $25 and work great for stuff like that.
Got a test for you to do, if indexing your spark plugs actually does anything. It gave like 1-2hp on a car engine but if it can do that on a small engine that would be a big improvement.
I would have loved to see just the air filter and exhaust like you did on the 212 predator. I don’t plan on changing anything else out the gokart is for my daughter
Hi Redbeard, how do you feel about the Tillotson TFB Mechanical Fuel Injection Carburetor over a VM 22 or Mikuni? I am really digging the valve spring insulation tool!! Thank you for all you do. I appreciate all your videos. It gives me motivation for what I do. Thank you.
There shouldn't be much difference between brands. He's not going to do that anyway because they are trying to sell Amsoil. Similarly, he's not going to test the Ducar 224 because he's picked the wildcat. For oil I'd like to see different viscosities including as thin as 5W20. The break in oil is SAE30. Any thinner oil after that is going to get more power. And is he dynoing cold engines? They would get more power fully warmed up when the oil is thinner than it is when cold.
I also think an intermission would be ok between series where you test all the random engines that you have on projects, the super charged buggy needs to get stripped down for powder coat anyways!
Like to see a power fist 212 (Canadian version of predator) be built because there’s nobody on TH-cam that has done it before 🤷♂️ plus a lot of Canadians, would appreciate it because that engine is widely available to us not the predator but is the same
Which engine has the best durability after being hoped up, or hp to durability ratio? I'd like to have some more power but not have to rebuild every 50 hours.
Pro engine builder tip: After those retainers are installed, gently whack with a hammer at the side of the spring. if the retainers fall out, you just saved an engine.
I would love to see a honda gx200 build but i dont think others would wanna see that. A very very cheap build would also be cool, the same flywheel you used with a chinese billet rod, mod2 cam and stamped steel ratio rockers. Basically as cheap as possible and as much piwer as possible. it would be interesting to see how the chinese billet rod will handle
I've looked at the Chinese knock-off billet rods. The issue I see is that they are only a few dollars less than a quality rod form ARC. I'd rather spend the ten extra dollars.
@@WalkerSmallEnginePerformance That's what I'd do too but I live in Europe and I keep finding good deals on them like 60-70 euros. I can't find cheap shipping from America, cheapest is omb but I have other projects and I'm kinda broke so I'm sticking with chinesium parts. it's a chinse engine afterall
I think for “stage 1” I would have left the stock rod…and spent the money on a better carb. Would be also be alot less labor and easier for a new builder
My son revved my Vegas carts 460 in neutral and the comet 780 primary exploded. Pieces were stuck in the bottom of the seat under him. So, yeah, I guess better than a flywheel exploding.
You did a great job doing the tutorial, well articulated and concise. I can't wait to see what else this series has to offer 👍 Hopefully a chonda build at some stage? Keep up the great work and god bless
@redbeardgarage how much crank end play (in/out) should I have after torquing case cover and clutch bolt? Currently I have 0.024 or 0.60mm with feeler gauge. Would a 1mm crank shim be needed. Using a stock case cover. Billet rod,flywheel/hot 265/26lb springs/ported non hemi head/stock rockers/vm22 on a kart
Yes but for the money unless you're racing in a class and for personal use its way way cheaper just to get a 13.5 or 15 hp from harbor predator engine. But I like the modding of engines regardless!
Man your killing it with these road to HP videos. I would really really like to see an in detail head port and polish video. I notice you started with a full electric start wildcat. What's the difference if you keep the electric start? What are the flywheel options like? After watching your videos I'm definitely going to build a wildcat but I want to go fast and have all the comforts. Electric start, lights, etc......maybe touch on that. Thanks for the series. 👍👏👏🙌🙌
Valve spring tool is now added to the links. Also, Someone notified me that I used 2 stroke oil in the engine..... Opps lol. Luckily it wasn't ran too much.
Won't hurt it. Splash lube is 2 stroke's specialty. If any did get by the rings, it'd burn clean.
Where did you buy your valve seat cutter tool. I’m building a 308 cammed ghost with a ported head & all the billet and stainless goodie’s.
Would like to see the 22mm carb swapped before the stage 2 build and leaning that a/f ratio out. I'm looking at doing the same build.
Red Beard’s testing and riding as well as his honesty, is just unmatched on TH-cam.
God Bless ! Thank You Greg and Wife and Lonnie.... Happy New Year !

They are. We can regularly match vtwins in the 600’s CC class.
Most are also using gasoline not M1 haha.
Just testing us with the 2 stroke oil in the crankcase trick. Really enjoyed this one.
Noticed that too. It doesn't mention or promote doing that on the Amsoil website, either.

You should build a model 13 briggs flathead (5 horsepower) I havent seen any videos of people building them so it would be cool to see someone build one and dyno test it!
are there parts available for it? Honda kinda took over the market with their clones and brands make little to no parts for briggs and stratton
I have a cr950 Briggs and Stratton same guts as a predator 212 so yeah you can build a Briggs now days
My prof at small engine course in college did 25 years ago, it was a 3hp, port polish valve seat work, decked the block to increase compression, a motorcycle carb, and a funnel looking exhaust. Don’t remember exactly how much hp it put out but around double so 5+ longevity wouldn’t be what red beard etc are building with AM parts but it was cool back in the day B)
No point in living in the past.
@@NubsWithGuns Its fun thats a good enough reason
Why you putting 2 stroke oil in crank case
Exactly that doesn’t make any good sense I’m a amsoil dealer I don’t not recommend it I recommend amsoil dominator 10w30 racing 4stroke oil
The thinner oil makes more free power in our racing engines but we race to win not for longevity so I'm not to sure why he is choosing to do it.
Pretty sure he just grabbed the wrong bottle when filming.
I noticed that and the .003 feeler gauge for the coil gap text.
D***q goin on there lol
4 stroke engine + 2 stroke oil = 6 stroke I think

I think a big block for series 3 and a v twin for series 4 would be a great path to go down
I love these builds. Can’t wait to see the upgrades
Why are you using 2 stroke oil in the crankcase??? Amsoil makes great products but that's definitely not the intended use for dominator
Came here to say the same... better edit that.
probably grabbed the wrong bottle-Mark
Didn't even notice it till you said something lol. Oops. Luckily I didn't run it much lol.

👍 thank Man!
Could you please do a video on block venting and also how do you know what size tube to use for venting the block?
2 stroke oil in it. Did you dyno with it in there? Do you plan to tear it down now to see if it damaged anything?
Got a test for you to do, if indexing your spark plugs actually does anything. It gave like 1-2hp on a car engine but if it can do that on a small engine that would be a big improvement.
Build a Ducar from Dynocams since Ducar is actually the oem for many of these badge engineered engines.

Great video Greg , good info , thank you
10:48 First time I've seen a lock washer used as a gasket.
Better make that zero times you've seen a lock washer as a gasket. Self tapping the screw means there's zero gap for an oil leak.
🤣😂 I'm assuming you're being sarcastic

The tillotson carb is snake oil, stick with a slide, i have used both.

Finally, i waited for this for like 2 weeks
You should try a kohler command v twin they make tons of after-market parts for them, and you can make big horsepower with them
I really hope you get 4 stroke oil in bulk and just refill bottles for videos.
I’d like to see a built predator 459 with the oil pump
It don't matter 2 stroke can handle way higher rpms
I want to see you build up the Tillotson 225RS.
I commend Jose for sticking his neck out to critique on his attempt. That's how you learn
Have you noticed consistent carb tuning changes when you swap out the cam and valve springs?
Which engine has the best durability after being hoped up, or hp to durability ratio? I'd like to have some more power but not have to rebuild every 50 hours.
Love your builds
Briggs & Stratton Animal engine next
What happened to finishing the first road to horsepower?
What happened that makes you wonder? Of course he's still doing it.

1mm is almost .040" so no. .010" shim if you're concerned
@@JimCooper-f8g thanks. I’ll look at omb for a shim kit
Thanks for all the videos. what is the wildcat 223 weight?
I can't find the weight anywhere.
2 stroke oil????
may have grabbed the wrong bottle-lol Mark
Since you changing the ignition timing see if putting 93 would make a difference vs 87
Yes but for the money unless you're racing in a class and for personal use its way way cheaper just to get a 13.5 or 15 hp from harbor predator engine. But I like the modding of engines regardless!
The weight and bulk of a big block is hard to manage on a mini bike. So much heavier.
Man your killing it with these road to HP videos. I would really really like to see an in detail head port and polish video. I notice you started with a full electric start wildcat. What's the difference if you keep the electric start? What are the flywheel options like? After watching your videos I'm definitely going to build a wildcat but I want to go fast and have all the comforts. Electric start, lights, etc......maybe touch on that. Thanks for the series. 👍👏👏🙌🙌
Have you ever built a kohler? If so do you have a video? I have a 23hp and 25hp i would like to do something with. Thank you.
Hey mans how your day going I’m wondering do you have any videos on how to make single 36 valve springs fit on a predator 212 non hemi
I want to see a predator 670 fully built with a Turbo Fuel injection and a standalone ecu running on Methanol
