- Please subscribe for more! Today in this video we are testing the new Predator Ghost 212cc motor from Harbor Freight with mods. In this video we will add a better torque converter, ignition coil(unrestricted), and a flywheel. According to Predator this engine is "race ready" and mainly for go karts. In this process we purchased a new Mega Moto 212 frame and assembled it as well. Please watch the video to learn more.
All the parts can be found at: www.gopowersports.com
Highlights of the Predator 212:
Reinforced dual ball-bearing racing cylinder with cast iron sleeve
Squeeze cast, T-6 heat treated aluminum rod
Ground cam with built-in mechanical compression release, forged carbon steel racing crankshaft with induction hardened crankpin
High-silicon valve springs
High-flow racing intake port
Digital timing advance ignition system with built-in rev limiter at 6000 RPM
Round slide carburetor
Fire-ring head gasket
Racing piston ring package
Nitrited-dished exhaust valve

Thong flipflops are crazy with the socks on bro 😂😂
This mega moto will never see a dirt road. Really looking pretty. I love the collection of red on the bike.
Man’s got on the socks with the flops😳🤣💀
Good job on that mini👍😉
Best way to break in a motor is to run it the way you intend to use it normally. So balls out! Learned this from a engine builder that built race engines for Nascar and dirt track cars.

@@comfortablynumb8832 he's right. Break it in the same way you plan on using it
I hear so many stories of bad things happening when doing this with 2 strokes
@@joshapples88 it’s a 4 tho
it’s best to let it idle for about 30 - 45 mins , turn it off and let it cool off , turn it back on then from there I’d let her have it . 🎉 why ? To get oil in the hard to get places and let those places get lubed before sending it hard
Nice video My Honda gx160 goes 55 mph with stock rod , 18 Lbs springs with vm22 header pipe ratio rockers stock fw , stock cam on five inch rim.
Break it in like you're going to be driving it. Don't baby it, unless you're going to baby it forever. You need a good shakedown as well.
What you mean by babing it ? Break in I just ride from time to time at the top. Soon I'll be changing the oil
@@mr.liggins9092 I mean that some people think that the break-in period means you have to baby it. You should break it in driving it the way you plan on driving it. If you are going to run it at WOT every time you crank it up, break it in like that. If you're going to be cruising, no drag racing, no aggressive go-stop-go, break in should go that way.
Every sbc engine I have built I drove like I stole it. Same as any small engine...mini bike.. dirtbike...atv..ect.. never had a issue
I dk if dudes knows anything about the shakedown
I love mini bikes! I miss riding them :)
Hey! What a pleasant surprise 😃!
I miss my motorized bike!
Yo man I love the videos love to watch them and learn about this engine and I wanted to know where you got your throttle cable from and how long it is?
It’s been a year have you broken in the engine yet we need to see her at her max 🤞🔥🔥🔥
Nice build 4 stroke bike
Nice mini
Id use ome valve lapping compound to make sure your flyheel is snug and level but geat video
i think its cool how they are making parts to trick out mini bikes,when i was in the second grade my folks got me one,scary fast mini bike,not sure how ole you are in the 2nd grade or how much you weigh but this thing haha who ever built it was cruel,it had a 4 hp tecumshe engine and the rear sprocket was as big as the tire it was fast as hell lol it blew away my sisters honda trail 70,then i got a go cart,then a dirt bike and on and on but yea it was fast,most kids minis have like a 2.5 hp engine haha keep on riding having fun man
I hope you get the comet belt, nice build those cheap Amazon belts melt right to the clutch. I had the juggernaut too amazingly different
I have a CT200UEX 196 cc. Billet rod and flywheel cam 26 springs 22 mm carb and it does 60 no problem. I have a 212 built the same that vibrates like it wants to bounce you out of the go kart.
Hey let me get that old flywheel I’ll pay shipping
Mine flew apart … without a cam or stage 3
Nice job!
Lapping the flywheel is highly recommended
That's what I said
hey brother, nice looking set up. it may have already said in the comments but just wanted to add, when youre using the billet flywheels with the strong rare earth magnet you need to run a wider coil gap. a card is good on the stock flywheels. should aso lap the new flywheel. good video tho brother
is the gas tank gravity feed or do you still have to use the fuel pump
@MJ Tech, you wouldn’t wanna part with the original ghost coil would you?
Thought u wasn’t supposed to hit the crank without the bolt on it?? Also with the billet flywheel aren’t u supposed to lap them in with lapping compound???
Can you post a list of all part numbers
Vi build a Predator 212. I didn't run it until I billet proofed the engine. Took all of the junk parts from the factory out.
Assuming you checked the carburetor jet make sure you're running 120 to 125
in this video do u only have all the parts on the engine in this video because im think of buy just the engine and ignition coil and fly wheel
So basically, I got a Predator ghost a couple weeks back and with the fuel pump I had to buy for it the gas tank won’t fit so I’m wondering what gas tank you have in the video also, I tried starting it today and gas came leaking out of that air filter on the carburetor when the choke was on so I took the carb apart and adjusted the float a little bit and it stopped leaking, but now it won’t turn on. sometimes it’ll start up for a little bit and then just sputter right out. It’s a brand new engine brand new carburetor, brand new everything so I don’t see how the carb could be clogged up with anything I could have it wired wrong but I don’t know.
Them arc flywheels make the bike takeoff so much faster. I have one on my flat top hemi build and it tries to climb at lower speeds so much easier
Also on all my builds. Break in until it's warm low idle, drain the metal flakage immediately. Change oil every 20 min after that a couple times and then you shouldn't see as much glitter throughout its entire life. Don't do this and the rings fail premature had it happen a couple times, switch them to synthetic and a zinc base additive after as well, sucks to have a smoker cause of the glitter
did you put a fuel pump on that or just straight from the gas tank
Bone stock ghost, juggernaut, cvt set. 10t drive 38t rear on my trailmaster hurricane and yesterday hit 61.6 mph dirt tires as well. 19x7x8
I have a coleman bt200x wanted something a little more faster. If iput a 212cc ghost engine would it be alright with my stock jackshaft.and what exhaust pipe could i use?
@@patriciaeaton-up4yjI’d get a tilletson 212
What kind of torque converter do you recommend?
It’s ok to use a tillotson racing 196R coil on the ghost. Just wanna make sure I’m buying the right one
yes
Where you get decals 212 , what ignition coil is that part number , I want do this to my ghost ..
Where do you get front bake and stuff
does the ghost have govenor in it
I installed it but now my pull start isn’t working correctly
What’s powering the headlight?
Can u send me the link for the exhaust you have on the ghost
What torture converter are you using?
Does the 212 ghost have a governor?
I know this is an old video but I hope you do see it, you need to adjust your carbs needle because you have some mid RPM hesitation, when you're doing the top speed run I can hear it hesitate like right in the middle and then once you hit I think 38 mph that's when it started picking up and sounding better and healthier.
What's the part # for that mounting plate for the torque converter, the predator 212 has a different one and I tries to swap them and it won't sit flush with the block? And can't seem to find anything for the ghost
You have to mock up the plate to the engine and then mark where it's not clearing so you know where to remove material. The jackshaft bearing boss is reinforced with gussets on the inside surface. You'll need to grind one of them down to get your clearance.
I was 😆 watching him fight the clutch...take the belt off and pop it back on like a bike chain!!
did u use hemi or non hemi flywheel
I didnt know about the stock ignition I changed everything except that do you have a part number for the upgrade?
you can just swap it with a normal predator 212 coil, the one that comes with the ghost is the same part but its just limited to 6k rpm
There is the hemi and non hemi what flywheel do I get??
Does your predator seem to have a lot of vibration in the upper idle to mid rpm range (2k-4k)? Just curious if it's just my predator but mine seems to run really smooth at idle and at the top end but vibrates a lot in between
Maybe your engine mount?
This may sound crazy but check your wheels and tires. Make sure they're not somehow out of round, your tires don't have any bubbles, flat spots, or uneven wear on the tread. Also check your wheel bearings for play. It's coming from an unbalanced rotational force, but the range it's happening makes me think it's closer to where the power meets the ground. Run it at the range where it vibrates the absolute worst, hold it there for a second, and then kill the engine. If the vibration immediately stops, its your engine. If it tapers off evenly as your wheel speed decreases, it's elsewhere.
@Remington Steel some of those castings are questionable, and I've seen videos of flywheels exploding. It's hard to judge what one person considers "excessive" and what's normal without putting one's own hands on It.. And even CNC Machined parts can have defects.
@@jesse1136 Wheels are reasonably balanced after resolving issues with the back tire. That issue was more of a wobble than anything else. The vibration issue is very high frequency, the kind that will make your hands numb. As others noted, my suspicion is it's somewhere in the crankshaft. I appreciate the replies and have more or less just lived with it. Other than the mid range vibration everywhere else in the power band feels smooth after warming up. Another area I'll explore is the carb, I know the idle and full throttle is dialed in, but the mid-throttle is lean. Dialing in the mid-range on the carb might help the internals rotate a little less violently.
@@clv603 Ah, ok. It sounds like you've got some wrench time under your belt. I wonder if there's a bushing/dampner in your steering that's worn, for it to vibrate so badly without tearing itself apart. Good luck, hope you get it nailed down.
Hi there my friend what's the part number to the ignition coil and fly wheel like your channel👍
That’s what I want to know
What coil did you use
How many RPMs is that thing pushing?
pLEASE.... I dont understand, Why change out the flywheel I see that most are doing it, but Why????
Stock one breaks easily when the engine is modded.
What torque converter is it?
My ghost motor does that stock with the juggernaut
What ignition coil
How did you set that chain up to be on the opposite side?
It's a 212 pro has a cvt with jack shaft
what tires are those
Where can I get that gas tank?
Link to the exhaust on the bike please ??
What carb is that
You didn’t need to lap the crank for the flywheel ?
Was thinking of installing a flywheel aswell,what do you mean by lap the crank
Do you know how to get power to the headlight using the ghost motor?
Just use your stock flywheel and lighting coils. I did
Cant you use a regular predator 212 coil on here?
I think that's what they used I'm not sure though
What bolt did you use on the juggernaut that you used I have the same motor like you so I just need to get the bolt to hold the juggernaut
It’s 5/16x24 thread pitch. 2.5 inch long bolt
What Number bellt did you use
Tire brand and sizes
What's the name tired brand
Sorry to ask such a lame question and I really appreciate your time. How do you get away with driving on the streets? I love my Peter New Hampshire and I’m wondering how far to take this and whether it will be streaming or not one other question what is the name of the fly wheel? I need to do my homework here I just picked up a ghost is the list that you have everything that you put into the motor?
We're I live all you need I a flag but most places are pretty strict
where did you buy your cell phone holder ?
And vent the block
What Ignition coil did you get for the motor?
??
56 mph on mine just by changing the rear sprocket. 73 to 53 tooth. 😮
I'm getting 52 on a mm80 with a torquezilla 10/50 I think my storm 200 with a Tillotson 212 is going to wipe it
Put a big valve head. You can put all the stuff you want. Pur a big valve head you jump to the 60s
strange i have a stock ghost on a mega moto 212 and i’ve got 54mph but you could only get in the 40s
Straight chain ?
My theory: I bet you have the chain drive but he swapped to the Juggernaut CVT upgrade "Variator".
This "self adjusting" front pulley was geared maybe too high for his engine power curve.
Prob would have gone faster
w/o that mod.
He may also have not upgraded his Carb main jet to feed more fuel.
Just an educated guess.
U interested in building me the sane set up ?
Does it have a billet rod
T9 cast aluminum very strong
😮💨
I threw this on my custom ct200 and it went 55 right out the box
What gas tank did you use?
amzn.to/3mZTwSF
What carburetor
Are you running the 19 inch tires
Do have a fuel pump or is it gravity
Gravity
What exhaust can i use will any 212cc pipe fit ? And please what torque converter and where do i buy it from
Sorry for all the questions please can you let me know where to buy the gas tank from
Can you stretch that frame ?
No way that was full my stage one tilly goes 55 and the chain is hitting the driven pulley
If it doesn't fit, get a bigger hammer. Pound that juggernaut into submission. I always say, "If the wife doesn't like the juggernaut, trade her for another minibike".
Man I spent thousands lol. And I mean thousands
Not bad speed, but it took too long to get there
I think you should change your channel name to bozo tech
You should ask your mom why she didn’t make Bozo your middle name.
Please be nice. If you can’t don’t comment.
Mine does 66mph
Yeah it should definitely be faster I got my trailmaster to 65 with the ghost. I had a 26mm nibbi carb on it but I never topped it out.
🤣😂
🤣🤣
Damn, may as well just buy a nice new Yamaha moped..
take off TC. my ghost without TC goes 75+
There's no way that will go 50 miles an hour plus , I have the same one with same setup, at 38 miles an hour the valve springs float ..
Mine does 52 mph
Top speed is mostly about gearing ratios. Taller tires/sprocket = higher top speeds. Shorter tires/sprocket = faster acceleration. More RPMs will get you more top speed but gearing plays a much larger factor. For yall to compare top speeds between mini bikes, you would need to factor in overall tire diameter and number of teeth on your sprockets.
@@logme1336 thanks Logme , after messing with the ghost , and also changing to nibbi carb , I jave a defective ghost engine , it started smoking out of carb , which I changed jets also. I just took ghost out , put my tillotson back in , its much more reliable and just a better engine, thanks for responding
😂😂😂🤷🏿♂️ naw bro you dont have to do all that I have five mini bikes all with predator 212cc engine and they do 65 to 70 mph💨💨🏍🏍 you have to straight chain it go with a max torque clutch from go powersports 10 tooth and get a 72 sprocket I'm telling you💯💯 but if you want alot of top in change the sprocket to a 38 very fast🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍💨💨💨
If he's doing anything off road or with a lot of up and down terrain, those clutches are garbage. They're ideal on smooth, flat, hard surface like track or street. The Torque converter/TAV/CVT gives a lot more usable torque all the way through the the engine's RPMs- from engagement to WOT, full send. The chain clutches are for racing karts, where you're running WOT from green light to checkered flag.
Yo my stock 212cc predator does 60 against the wind. has an original style carb holy Moses blueprint super jet. stock cam with stock piston and rod with the cheapest cast aluminum fly wheel 18lb springs top 61mph 19 tooth clutch 60t rear. on my other engine I did rod, flat top piston, 270 cam, 26lb springs head porting all the shit I could with it and had nothing but problems. I built 3 engines 1 engine the the block was warped brand new also the new racing pushrods bent 3 pairs wouldn't stay running after measuring and cutting. took it apart so got a new block new head new piston the piston seems to be the problem this time looks bigger so compression won't allow it to stay running. spend all this money but the shit isn't worth it. DIY is all a scam to boost economy. that's why the internet got ruined by apps.
The low end must be terrible with that gearing. How tall is the tire?
@@Deucealive75 it's a 15×6-6 tire I keep up with cars that aren't trying to race off the line. I've had nothing but problems with my fully built motor with all the add on parts.
Good looking out
Here’s a tip. Don’t waste money on the ghost if your just gonna take off the rev limiter lol. But a regular 212 and a stage 2 kit, and boom cheaper and faster
212 with stage 2 kit is over 450$? Just get the Ghost for 250
@@billysnyder8026 bruh the ghost rev limits at 6k Rpms. Yeah get a ghost if u wanna go slow lol
